Adjusting the Alternate Bobbin
Case (with No Color on the
Screw)
When using the embroidery bobbin thread
provided, please be sure to choose the green
marked bobbin case when performing utility stitch
sewing and embroidery functions. When in the
embroidery function mode, the alternate bobbin
case (with no color on the screw) should be
selected when substitute embroidery bobbin
threads (other than what is accompanied with your
machine) are being used. The alternate bobbin
case (with no color on the screw) can be easily
adjusted when bobbin tension changes are
required to accommodate different bobbin
threads. See “Sewing Attractive Finishes” on page
173.
To adjust the bobbin tension for embroidery
function, using the alternate bobbin case (with no
color on the screw), turn the slotted screw (-) with
a (small) screwdriver.
a Do not turn a phillips screw (+).
b Adjust with a screwdriver (small).
■ Correct Tension
Upper thread slightly appears on the wrong side of
fabric.
a Right side
b Wrong side
■ Bobbin Thread is Too Loose
Bobbin thread appears slightly on the right side of
fabric.
a Right side
b Wrong side
If this occurs, turn the slotted screw (-) clockwise,
being careful not to over-tighten the screw,
approximately 30-45 degrees to increase bobbin
tension.
■ Bobbin Thread is Too Tight
Upper thread on the right side of fabric seems to be
lifting/looping and bobbin thread is not seen on the
wrong side of fabric.
a Right side
b Wrong side
If this occurs, turn the slotted screw (-)
counterclockwise, being careful not to over-loosen
the screw, approximately 30-45 degrees to decrease
bobbin tension.
CAUTION
• When adjusting the alternate bobbin case, be
sure to remove the bobbin from the alternate
bobbin case.
• DO NOT adjust the position of the phillips (+)
screw on the alternate bobbin case as this may
result in damage to the bobbin case, rendering
it unusable.
• If the slotted screw (-) is difficult to turn, do
not use force. Turning the screw too much or
providing force in either (rotational) direction
may cause damage to the bobbin case. Should
damage occur, the bobbin case may not
maintain proper tension.
