Thread Tension Dial

Straight Stitch

In straight seams, the needle thread and the bobbin

thread should lock together in the center of the two

layers of fabric.

If you look at the top and bottom of the stitch, you

will notice that there are no gaps; each stitch is

smooth and even.

When adjusting needle thread tension, the higher the

number, the tighter the needle thread.

Here are some reasons you may change the thread

tension dial:

1. The fabric is stiff or heavy.

2. You are sewing more than two layers of fabric.

3. The stitch you are using needs the threads not to

lock together in the center of the fabric.

• Tension is too tight

The bobbin thread shows through on the topside of

the fabric and it will feel bumpy.

Turn the dial to a lower number to loosen the needle

thread tension.

• Tension is too loose

The needle thread shows through on the underside

of the fabric and it will feel bumpy.

Turn the dial to a higher number to tighten the

needle thread tension.

• Adjusting Tension for Zigzag and

Embroidery

The upper thread tension should be slightly weaker

when sewing a zigzag or a satin stitch. The upper

thread should appear slightly on the underside of the

fabric.
