Adjusting the Alternate Bobbin 
Case (with No Color on the 
Screw)

When using the embroidery bobbin thread 
provided, please be sure to choose the green 
marked bobbin case when performing utility stitch 
sewing and embroidery functions. When in the 
embroidery function mode, the alternate bobbin 
case (with no color on the screw) should be 
selected when substitute embroidery bobbin 
threads (other than what is accompanied with your 
machine) are being used. The alternate bobbin 
case (with no color on the screw) can be easily 
adjusted when bobbin tension changes are 
required to accommodate different bobbin 
threads. See “Sewing Attractive Finishes” on page 
212.

To adjust the bobbin tension for embroidery 
function, using the alternate bobbin case (with no 
color on the screw), turn the slotted screw (-) with 
a (small) screwdriver.

Note

• If the upper thread was incorrectly threaded, 

the upper thread may be too loose. In this 
case, refer to “Upper Threading” (page 46) 
and rethread the upper thread.

Note

• With “Embroidery Tension” on page 6/7 of 

the setting screen, the tension of the upper 
thread can be adjusted for embroidering. 
The selected setting will be applied to all 
patterns.
When embroidering, if the overall tension of 
the upper thread is too tight or too loose, 

adjust it from the setting screen. Press 

 

to tighten the upper thread tension and 

press 

 to loosen the upper tension. If an 

individual embroidery pattern needs 
additional fine tuning, refer to “Adjusting 
Thread Tension” on page 227.
