- Page 20 Bringing up the lower thread − Put the presser foot − Turn the hand wheel towards you with your right hand until the needle is in the uppermost position. − Hold the upper thread loosely in your left hand and turn the hand wheel towards you with your right hand until the needle has moved down and back up again.

Page 21: Settings
Settings Setting the thread tension If the thread tears while you are sewing, the thread tension is too high. If small loops are formed when you are sewing, the thread tension is too low. In both cases, you need to adjust the thread tension. The tensions of the upper and lower threads must be in the correct proportion to each other. - Page 22 Checking the thread tension Correct stitching The tension of the upper and lower thread should be sufficient to ensure that the threads interlace in the middle of the fabric. The fabric remains smooth and does not pucker. Incorrect types of stitching Upper thread is too tight and pulls the lower thread up.
