7. ADJUSTING STITCHING

As shown in the diagram below, normal stitching has top and bottom

threading.

If the bottom threading looks like a straight line, this indicates the

top thread is too loose. Please turn the thread clamp clockwise to

increase pressure until the stitching returns to normal.

However, when the top thread looks like a straight line indicating an

over-tight top thread, slowly turn the thread clamp anti clockwise to

reduce pressure until the stitching is back to normal.

(Please Note: When adjusting the stitching, check whether

the top thread has come out. If so, replace back into position).
