Adjusting Needle Thread Tension

The ideal straight stitch will have threads locked

between the two layers of fabric.

Needle thread tension can range from 2 – 6 q and is

normally set on 4.

Align the number 4 on the tension dial with the

setting mark w.

If you look at the needle thread e (top thread) and

bobbin thread r (bottom thread), you will notice

that there are no gaps. Each stitch is smooth and

even.

Occasionally the needle thread tension needs to be

adjusted. Examples:

— stiff or heavy fabric

— sewing more than two layers of fabric

— type of stitch

— thread

When adjusting needle thread tension, the higher

numbers tighten, the lower numbers loosen.

• 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.

Changing Needles

Turn ON the power switch. Press the Up/Down

needle key q to raise the needle. Lower the presser

foot. Turn OFF the power switch.

Turn the needle clamp screw w counterclockwise to

loosen. Remove the needle from the clamp.

Insert the new needle into needle clamp with the flat

side r to the back, pushing it up against the stopper

pin e. Tighten the clamp screw firmly.

To determine if the needle is defective, place the flat

side of the needle on something flat (a needle plate,

piece of glass, etc.). The gap t between the needle

and the flat surface should be consistent.

Never use a bent or blunt needle, as it may cause

skipped stitches or thread breakage. Defective

needles can ruin the fabric. Always purchase good

quality needles. Change needles often.

q

Selecting the Correct Needle for Fabrics

There are many kinds of fabrics, threads and

needles. It is important to use the correct ones

together.

Always purchase good quality thread. It should be

strong, smooth and even in thickness. Use the

same thread for needle and bobbin. Always test

thread and needle size on a scrap piece of fabric.

In general, fine threads (the larger the number, the

finer the thread) and needles (the smaller the

number, the finer the needle) are used for sewing

lightweight fabrics and heavier threads and larger

needles are used for sewing heavyweight fabrics.

There are many specialty needles available from

your sewing machine dealer.

Check your needles frequently for rough or blunt

tips. Snags and runs in knits, fine silks and silklike

fabrics are permanent and are often caused

by damaged needles.

A: Universal – an all-purpose needle that handles

most woven and knit fabrics.

B: Ball point – the point spreads the fibers,

preventing tears and is especially suited for loose

knits and interlock knits. Not recommended for

embroidery.

C: Denim – the sharp point effectively pierces

densely woven fabrics such as denim and canvas.

D: Stretch – specially designed to prevent skipped

stitches in synthetic suedes and elasticized knits

(swimwear).

E: Leather – the cutting point creates small holes in

leather and suede. Holes remain after stitching is

removed.
