CHAIN STITCHING (Continued)

TO THREAD THE MACHINE

Thread your machine in the usual way, except pass

needle thread from take-up lever through chain stitch

thread guide D with the face plate open. (See Fig. 6)

NEEDLE THREAD TENSION

Normally set between 2 and 4 on the Tension Dial,

however, slight adjustment may be required dependent

on the thread size and the material used.

When the tension is correctly adjusted, the chain will

be flat and smooth. (See Fig. 1)

Puckers in the fabric and pinched loops indicate too

much tension—turn dial to a lower number.

Large, irregular loops indicate too little tension—turn

dial to a higher number.
