TO
REGULATE
THREAD
TENSIONS
Correct
tensions
are
important
for
the
good
appearances
of
the
stitches.
If the
tensions
are
not
correct,
the
results
will
be
imperfect
stitching.
Generally,
the
tensions
should
be
adjusted
by
the
upper
thread
tension
regulator
dial.
However,
to
test
the
bobbin
thread
tension,
hold
bobbin
case
in
your
left
hand
and
pull
out
a
few
inches
of
thread,
if
you
feel
a
slight
pull
and
the
thread
is
supplied
smoothly,
it
is
usually
unnecessary
to
adjust
the
bobbin
thread tension.
