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 dep

ADJUSTING BOBBIN TENSIONS Bobbin tension requires adjusting less frequently than the upper thread tension. If the stitch is satisfactory but the seam is puckered, it may be necessary to loosen the tension on both the top and bottom threads. Be sure to balance them as indicated on Page 9. When adjusting the tension on the bobbin case, make slight adjustments with a screwdriver. DECREASE TENSION Turn Counter Clockwise. INCREASE TENSION Turn Clockwise. 9

STITCH LENGTH CONTROL The stitch length control located on the right side of the machine regulates the length of the stitch you select. THE HIGHER THE NUMBER-THE SHORTER THE STITCH. The stitch setting you use will be determined by the thickness of the fabric you are sewing. A longer stitch setting should be used for thicker fabric or more layers of fabric. The middle range of the control is the 10-1 2 stitch per inch range which is the most commonly used. A basting stitch is made by using the lo

REVERSE STITCH CONTROL It is best to begin and end seams with a few stitches taken in reverse. This is called back tacking. Back tacking fastens the ends of the seams firmly and prevents raveling. When reverse stitching is needed, turn the control clockwise and hold there during sewing. The fabric will immediately start feeding backwards and seam will be fastened. FEED DOG CONTROL The feed dog control is located on the machine behind accessory box. There are a few times when you want to control
