Adjusting Needle-Thread Tension
Sot neodle-throad tension according to
the type of fabric you use. The numbers

settings*
Correct tension is important because too
much or too little will weaken your seams
or cause your fabric to pucker. Set tension
dial between 4 and 5. Make a test sample
with the fabric and thread you plan to
use and examine it. A perfect stitch will
have the needle and bobbin threads
locked between the two layers of fabric
with no loops on top or bottom and no
puckers.
If
Stitches look loose, increase
needle-
thread
tension.
If
the fabric puckers,
decrease tension,
