C. Fabric, Thread and Needle Table It has been found over the years that the ever increasing number of so-called tension problems are, in fact, simply caused by the wrong cornbination of needle and thread. V PLEASE READ THE CHART listed below which shows the correct needle and thread combination for the particular material to be used.
D. Changing the Needle If you prefer to change needles, or if the needle in use is bent, blunt or otherwise defective, change the needle as follows.

ADJUSTING THREAD TENSIONS The balance of tension between the upper thread and the bobbin thread is most important for a good sewing performance with neat stitching. S. Correct Tension The tension on- the upper thread and bobbin thread should be equal. If the tensions are balanced, you will obtain a perfectly locked stitch with both threads drawn equally into the fabric, as shown in Fig. .28.
