ADJUSTING THREAD TENSION After you finish sewing the above stitches, check if upper and lower threads tension is equal and strong enough to lock both thread in centre as in figure a . If upper tension is too tight (loose), upper (lower) thread lies straight along upper (low- er) surface of fabric b ( c ). Correct by turning tension dial in the direction of arrow.

• Always check the balance of upper and lower tensions by test sewing using fabric, needle, thread and stitch pattern you plan to use. (Correct combinations are described on page 35.)
