TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Thread Tension: The thread tension should be adjusted accord-
ing to sewing materials, layers of fabric. To tighten, turn Tension
Screw clockwise; and loosen the tension by turning counter-
clockwise.
(1) As Fig. A shown, it is the normal stitches, which the top
thread and Bottom thread are neat and uniform. The tension is
just right!
(2) As Fig. B shown, if the bottom threading looks like a straight
line, which indicates the top thread is too loose. Please turn the
Tension Screw clockwise to increase pressure (until it is neither
too tight nor too loose).
(3) As Fig. C shown, when the top thread looks like a straight
line, it indicates the thread is too tight. Please slowly turn the
Tension Screw counter-clockwise to reduce the pressure until
the stitch is back to normal.
Note: If the fabric is too thin/ thick/ slippery/ hard, it will
cause: skipped stitches, thread breaking, pucker or forming
loops, and tension adjustment cannot help that, you should
change the fabric. Please kindly note that this is just a small
domestic sewing machine.
Applicable fabrics: Jean, Cotton fabric, Felt, Polypropylene
cloth, thin Leather, etc.

Recycle clothing by tailoring it to fit growing children. It doesn't have
to look like ill-fitting hand-me-downs anymore! Also, add an appliqué
or decorative ribbon to give it a new look.

skirts out of on-sale sheets. It's a lot of fabric for little money. And
you can find prints that are absolutely perfect for a designer bath-
room.
Also use sheets for great custom bedroom ensembles. Sew a cover
for a comforter (new or recycled) out of oversized sheets to create a
new look. Then make easy pillow shams to match. Sheets are
always on sale, and naturally have the most up-to-date designer
looks for the bedroom. Get an extra set of sheets for the bed,
and you have an ensemble that would cost hundreds of dollars.
Make your own tablecloths and napkins. It's easy and inexpensive,
and you can make them to fit all the occasions of the year. Get
creative. Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter St. Patrick's Day, Fourth
of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, you can have inexpensive table
settings for them all. Even birthdays and anniversaries.
Most fabric stores carry a wide range of printed fabrics with all these
themes just cut and sew hems around the edges. It's hostess magic
in minutes!
Get on the mailing list of your local fabric shop. You'll get advance
notice on all the fabric sales so you can get the best selection and
the lowest prices.
Check tag sales for drapes or curtains. You can alter drapes worth
hundreds of dollars that can be purchased for pocket change.
Watch for pattern sales. Look through pattern books tor ideas on
easy-to-make projects that impress and delight.
