Flat face side away
from you
To determine if the needle is bad, place the flat side of
the needle on something flat (a needle plate, piece of
glass, etc.). The gap between the needle and the flat
surface should be even.
Never use a bent or broken needle. It may cause
skipped stitches or thread breakage. Bad needles can
ruin the fabric.
Always purchase good quality needles. Change needle
often.

ADJU TING THREAD TEN ION
In straight seams, the needle thread and the bobbin
thread should lock together in the center of the two
layers of fabric.
If you look at the top and bottom of the stitch, you will
notice that there are no gaps; each stitch is smooth
and even.
When adjusting needle thread tension, the higher the
number, the tighter the needle thread.
Here are some reasons you may change the thread
tension dial:
1. The fabric is stiff or heavy.
2. You are sewing more than two layers of fabric.
3. The stitch you are using needs the threads not to
lock together in the center of the fabric.
Tension is too tight.
The needle thread shows through on the topside of th
e
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.

Decrease
BOBBIN THREAD ADJU TMENT
1.
Through the hole provided turn the screw to left to
decrease the tension.
2. The lower thread tension has already been
adjusted, do not adjust it if it is necessary.
ADJU TING TEN ION FOR ZIGZAG
AND EMBROIDERY
The upper thread tension should be slightly weaker
when sewing a zigzag or a satin stitch. The upper
thread should appear slightly on the underside of the
fabric.

FABRIC–THREAD–NEEDLE –TABLE
Please pay attention to the following list as a guide for sewing different types of fabric.
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 and needles 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.
A denim needle with a sharp tip is used to sew heavy fabrics such as denim and canvas. For topstitching, a special
topstitching needle with a larger eye must be used for heavier weight thread. Leather needles punch small holes in
leather and suede allowing the thread to follow through the hole. When sewing stretch, very fine or synthetic
fabrics, use a stretch needle. The stretch needle prevents skipped stitches.
Check your needles frequently for rough or blunt tips. Snags and runs in knits, fine silks and silk-like fabrics are
permanent and are often caused by damaged needles.
