Top thread tension.Probably the most important control on your machine is the one that regulates the top tension. This consists of discs between which the thread passes. Pressure on these discs is regulated by turning the dial on the front of the control. The higher 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 on the stiffness of the fabric thickness of the fabric number of layers of fabric being sewn as well as the type of stitch you are making. You may find it is best to test the stitching on a scrap of the fabric you are using before starting to make a garment.Adjusting the bobbin case tension is also included. Stitch width control.The outer rim of this control regulates the width of the stitch you select. The higher the number the wider the stitch. You may vary the zigzag stitch width by adjusting this control to the setting you desire. Blind stitch buttonhole stitch mending stitch also known as Maxi Stitch scallop Stitch Diamond Stitch and others we re also controlled with these settings. Regulating presser foot pressure.One of the best features on this Kenmore sewing machine is the presser foot pressure regulator. This feature allows you to control the amount of pressure the foot is putting on the fabric. Pushing down the outer ring of the presser foot pressure regulator will release pressure of presser foot.
