Drawing Up Bobbin Thread
z Raise the presser foot and hold the needle thread
lightly with your left hand.
x Turn the handwheel slowly toward you with
your right hand until the needle goes down
and continue turning the handwheel until the
take-up lever is at its highest position.
Lightly draw up the needle thread forming a
loop of the bobbin thread.
c Pull 10 cm (6˝) of both threads back and
under the presser foot.
Thread Tension Dial
z Correct tension
The thread tension is adjusted depending on
the sewing materials, layers of fabric and
sewing method.
For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread
does not show on the right side (top side) of
the fabric, and the needle thread shows slightly
on the wrong side (bottom side) of the fabric.
