Note: *In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing thin fabrics, and thicker threads and needles are |
|
|||
used for sewing heavy fabrics, Always test thread and needle size on a small piece of fabric which will |
|
|||
be used for actual sewing. |
|
|
|
|
*Use the same thread for needle and bobbin. |
|
|
|
|
*When sewing stretch, very fine fabrics and synthetics, use a STRETCH needle. |
The STRETCH |
|
||
needle effectively prevents skipped stitches. |
|
|
|
|
*When sewing very fine fabrics, sew over a piece of paper to prevent yarn distortion. |
|
|

2.Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning its top edge
towar ds you. Remove the needle from the clamp.
,

REGULATING THE THREAD TENSION
Generally, should any tension adjustment be necessary, the adjustment can normally be made by regulating the upper thread tension dial only. Bobbin thread tension has been adjusted at the factory and readjustment is seldom required except for special instances, thread and fabric.
Bobbin thread tension is just right when you can pull the thread from bobbin case easily with a little resistance. Thread tension may be adjusted by tightening or loosening the thread tension dial.

.
Remember |
the higher the |
number, the |
tighter the tension. Correctly balanced |
tensions |
for one fabric may not |
|
be suitable |
for another. The required |
tension depends upon the |
stiffness of |
fabric, |
thickness of the fabric, |
|
numbers of |
layers of fabric |
being sewn, |
as well as the type of stitch |
you are making. It is better to test the stitch- |
||
ing on a scrap of the fabric you are using before starting to make a garment. The general range for many fabrics is 3-5.
