Needle Thread Tension Having selected the correct needle and thread com bination for the fabric being used, it nsay be necessary to adjust the tension of the sewing machine to insure a well-balanced stitch. A weii-balanced stitch is produced when the top and under thread appear the same on the fabric. Your machine has an adjustable top tension control system. This control exerts tension on the threads as they pass through the machine to form a stitch.
Sewing a Seam 1 Select straight stitch and set the stitch length dial on desired setting. Raise presser foot. Puii thread back under presser foot leaving at least 10cm (4 inches) of thread. Z Position needle approximately 1.3cm. (i/2 inch)from fabric edge. Then lower presser foot and backstitch airrjost to the edge of the fabric for reinforcement by stitching in reverse direction.
