Technical diagram of a layered electronic component with numbered parts labeled 1 to 4

The thread tension is normally set on "4" for general sewing applications. (Refer to the FABRIC/THREAD/NEEDLE COMBINATION CHART on page 27.)

However, the thread tension dial can be used to adjust the tension of the upper thread in the following cases.

* when using specialty threads or sewing on special fabric
* when sewing gathers, shirring or shell tucks
* when the normal settings do not give the desired result

The upper thread and the bobbin thread should cross at about the center of the fabric. If the thread tension is incorrectly set, flat attractive seams will not be sewn or the fabric will pucker.

SEWING

Sewing attractive finishes

Refer to the table below and the "FABRIC/THREAD/NEEDLE COMBINATION CHART" for recommended fabrics, threads and needles to use in order to obtain attractive sewing finishes. Furthermore, pattern slippages may occur when using different fabric thicknesses or types of stabilizers. Be sure to carry out a test sewing beforehand to check.

FABRIC	When sewing thin or stretch fabrics, fabrics with coarse weaves, or characters/ decorative stitches stored in the machine; attach interfacing to the reverse side. If you do not wish to attach interfacing, place the fabric onto some thin paper such as tracing paper before starting to sew. This acts as a stabilizer.

HOW TO USE WALKING FOOT (OPTIONAL ACCESSORY)

This foot is very useful for sewing materials such as vinyl cloth, synthetic leather, thin leather, etc. These materials are difficult to be fed when sewing but this foot can prevent such materials from crumpling, slipping or stickking between presser foot and materials thanks to even feeding upper and lower materials.

• You can use walking foot for sewing STRAIGHT STITCH ( 📋 · 📋) and ZIGZAG STITCH ( )
• This can be used for only 7 mm (stitch width).

Note

You can not use this foot for sewing other patterns.

Please sew in slow to medium speed.
