Adjusting the thread tension

The Thread Tension has a considerable influence on each individual thread and its task to perform the stitch formation. The Stitch Chart provides a recommended default value for each stitch. This recommendation can be optimized for different thread/fabric combinations. Optimizing the stitch

  2. To reduce the Thread Tension, turn the Thread Tension Adjustment Dial of the corresponding threads down to a lower value.
  3. To increase the Thread Tension, turn the Thread Tension Adjustment Dial of the corresponding threads down to a higher value.

Tip

An adjustment of the stitch formation can primarily be achieved by reducing the thread tension.

Tip

The Thread Tension should be reduced in the smallest possible steps from the basic value. The stitch elasticity can also be increased by reducing the stitch length.
