Additional Information

1. Pull approximately 6 inches of thread through the needle and presser foot.

2. Wrap the thread around the gauge hook (sometimes itʼs necessary to wrap it several times so it wonʼt slip).

3. Steadily pull the gauge towards you with the window of the barrel facing up.

4. As you pull, take note of the reading. These represent tension readings in grams. Polyester threads require higher tensions than Rayon. Polyester tensions 120 to 150 grams. Rayon tensions 100 to 120 grams.

5. Adjust your machine main tension knob until you get the desired reading.
