   Note: Please make sure there is no thread in the needle position while winding the bobbin.

ADJUSTING STITCHING

1. As shown in the picture(Ref: Fig.A) normal stitching should be neat with top and bottom stitch, neither too tight nor too loose.
   

2. If the bottom stitch looks like a straight line ( Ref: Fig B), it indicates the top thread is too loose. Turn the upper thread tension dial to a bigger number to increase the top thread tension pressure until the top and bottom stitch is well balanced.
   

3. However, when the top stitch looks like a straight line ( Ref: Fig C), it indicates the top thread is too tight. Turn the upper thread tension dial to a smaller number to reduce the top thread tension pressure until the top and bottom stitch is well balanced.
