Note
• If the upper thread is not threaded correctly or the
bobbin is not installed correctly, it may not be
possible to set the correct thread tension. If the
correct thread tension cannot be achieved,
rethread the upper thread and insert the bobbin
correctly.
• With [Embroidery Tension] on 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 37.
