MAKING EMBROIDERY ADJUSTMENTS

Upper Thread Is Too Loose
The tension of the upper thread is too loose, resulting in a
loose upper thread, loose thread locks, or loops appearing
on the right side of the fabric.
Touch in to tighten the upper thread
tension. (The tension number will increase.)
Adjusting Overall Upper Thread Tension
When embroidering, if the overall tension of the upper
thread is too tight or too loose, adjust it from the setting
screen. The selected setting will be applied to all patterns.
If an individual embroidery pattern needs additional fine
tuning, refer to “Adjusting Thread Tension” on page 147.

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. Refer to
“Embroidering Attractive Finishes” on page 137.
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.
1 Do not turn a phillips screw (+).
2 Adjust with a screwdriver (small).
Correct Tension
Upper thread slightly appears on the wrong side of fabric.
Bobbin Thread Is Too Loose
Bobbin thread appears slightly on the right side of fabric.
If this occurs, turn the slotted screw (-) clockwise, being
careful not to over-tighten the screw, approximately 30-45
degrees to increase bobbin tension.
Note
• If the upper thread was incorrectly threaded, the
upper thread may be too loose. In this case, refer
to “Upper Threading” on page 36 and rethread the
upper thread.
