Thread tension
The bobbin thread tension has
been adjusted at the factory and
readjustment is not usually
required.
Lower thread tension:
a: To set the bobbin thread tension,
remove the bobbin case with the
bobbin from the machine and hold
the bobbin case suspended by the
thread.
Shake it once or twice.
If the tension is correct, the thread
will unwind by about an inch or two.

unwind. If the tension is too loose,
the thread will unwind more than
two inches.
b: To adjust the tension, turn the
small screw on the side of the
bobbin case.
Upper thread tension:
c: Turn Thread Tension to

Note:
If the needle is not in the fabric, you
can rotate the Hand Wheel
anticlockwise (toward you) to drop the
needle into the fabric.
But incorrect the hand wheel rotating
direction will cause upper and bobbin
thread blockage under the needle
plate.
Turn anticlockwise the hand wheel to
make the calibration tails highest
sewing.
Stop the machine at the point where
you wish to change directions with
the needle still in the fabric.
Raise the presser foot and turn the
fabric to line up to its new direction
using the needle as a turning point.
Lower the presser foot and continue
sewing in the new direction.
Changing sewing directions
Basic Z-stitch
Simple zigzag sewing is widely used
for overcasting or sewing on button,
etc.
Turn the Stitch Selector Dial to
the “C” “D” or “E” position.
adjust the Thread Tension Dial to
