Thread tension

Thread cutters

The notch on the back of the presser bar is the thread

cutter. Threads can easily be cut off when you have
finished sewing.

There is also an additional thread cutter for use when

bobbin winding and one for cutting the bobbin thread
after insertion of the bobbin case. See page 11.

Tension of the upper thread

The dial which regulates the tension of the upper

thread is graduated from 0—10. The higher the number,

the tighter the tension. Normal thread tension is
obtained by setting the dial within the white area. Your
machine has been tested using the thread which accom
panies it and with the thread tension dial within the
white area.

If using a coarser thread, it may be necessary to alter

the thread tension slightly. Also the type of fabric may
require the tension to be adjusted.

When sewing buttonholes and decorative stitches the

thread tension is decreased automatically. When return

ing to regular sewing the normal thread tension is set
again.
