Upper Thread Tension
Settings
► Embroidery
► Upper Thread Tension
The upper thread tension is optimally set in the factory.
Depending on the brand of sewing thread, variations in upper thread tension may occur. You can override the default setting in the Embroidery Settings. This modification is made to all embroidery designs and kept until changed again in the Settings, even after a machine restart.
The higher the upper thread tension, the more the upper thread is tensioned and the bobbin thread is pulled more strongly into the fabric. The lower the upper thread tension, the less the upper thread is tensioned and the bobbin thread is pulled less strongly into the fabric.
Tip
If the embroidery test shows that the upper thread tension is not optimal for an embroidery design, you can modify the upper thread tension for the selected embroidery design using the Upper Thread Tension function in the status bar.
