TOP TENSION
CONTROL
Model
1050
Model1020,
1030, 1040, 1045
Probably
the most important
control
on your machine
is this one that regulates
your top thread tension.
It consists
of discs between
which
the thread passes.
The pressure
on these discs is regulated
by turning
the dial on the front
of
the control.
The higher
the number,
the tighter
the tension.
There
are many
reasons
for
having
to
reset
your
tension.
The
best
tension
for
one fabric
may
not
be correct
for
another.
The
required
tension
depends
upon
the
stiffness
of the
fabric,
thickness
of the fabric,
numbers
of layers
of
fabric
being
sewn,
as well
as the
type
of stitch
you
are making.
It is best to test the stitching
on a scrap of the fabric
you are using
before
starting
to make a garment.
To adjust
for the correct
stitch,
