f Upper thread visible from lower side of fabric
Cause/remedy/check details
Cause 1
The machine is not correctly threaded.
<With symptoms 1 and 2 described above>
The lower threading is incorrect.
Return the upper tension-control dial to “4”,
and then refer to “Upper thread tightened up”
(page 59) to correct the threading.
<With symptoms 3 through 5 described above>
The upper threading is incorrect.
Return the upper tension-control dial to “4”,
and then refer to “Tangled thread on wrong side
of fabric” (page 59) to correct the upper
threading.
Cause 2
A needle and thread appropriate for the fabric
are not being used.
Refer to “Needle types and their uses”
(page 19) to check that a needle and thread
appropriate for the fabric are being used.
Cause 3
An appropriate setting on the upper tension-
control dial is not selected.
Turn the upper tension-control dial to select an
appropriate thread tension.
* Adjust the thread tension while test sewing
on a piece of scrap fabric that is the same as
that used in your project.
Note
If the upper threading and lower threading are
incorrect, the thread tension cannot be adjusted
correctly, even by turning the upper tension-control
dial. Check the upper threading and lower
threading first, and then adjust the thread tension.
When the lower thread is visible from the
upper side of the fabric, turn the dial
counterclockwise.
When the upper thread is visible from the
lower side of the fabric, turn the dial
clockwise.
If the fabric is caught in the sewing machine and
cannot be removed, the thread may have become
tangled under the needle plate. Follow the procedure
described below to remove the fabric from the
machine. If the operation could not be completed
according to the procedure, instead of attempting to
complete it forcefully, contact your nearest authorized
service center.
Removing the fabric from the machine
a
Immediately stop the sewing machine.
b
Turn off the sewing machine.
c
Remove the needle.
If the needle is lowered into the fabric, turn the
handwheel away from you (clockwise) to raise
the needle out of the fabric, and then remove the
needle.
Refer to “Replacing the needle” (page 20).
d
Remove the presser foot and presser foot holder.
Refer toReplacing the presser foot” (page 22)
and “Removing the presser foot holder”
(page 23).

If the fabric can be removed, remove it.
f
