After making the adjustments, try 
embroidering with all needle bars to check 
the thread tension.

Memo

●

In the built-in embroidery patterns, one 
pattern is used for checking the thread 
tension. By sewing this pattern, the thread 
tension can easily be checked. For details, 
refer to page 217.

Adjusting the tension of the 
upper thread

When embroidering, the thread tension should be 
set so that the upper thread can slightly be seen on 
the wrong side of the fabric.

Correct Thread Tension

The pattern can be seen from the wrong side of 
the fabric. If the thread tension is not set 
correctly, the pattern will not finish well. The 
fabric may pucker or the thread may break.

Follow the operations described below to adjust 
thread tension according to the situation.

Note

●

If the thread tension setting is made 
extremely weak, the machine may stop 
during sewing. This is not the sign of a 
malfunction. Increase the thread tension 
slightly, and begin sewing again.
