Sensor Foot Pressure
Touch + to increase or - to decrease the pressure of the
presser foot on the fabric.
Note: Touch the alternative switch bar on the thread portioning/thread
tension control to switch to sensor foot pressure control.
EXCLUSIVE SENSOR SYSTEM™
Thanks to the EXCLUSIVE SENSOR SYSTEM™ feature,
the presser foot automatically and continuously senses and
adjusts as you sew any thickness of fabric for perfect even
feeding.
Go to sewing mode to see the actual setting of the sensor
foot pressure for the selected fabric and adjust the presser
foot pressure.
deLuxe™ Stitch System
The deLuxe™ stitch system has two ways to control the
upper thread: thread portioning and thread tension. To get
the best sewing result it will automatically use thread
portioning when possible. Thread portioning automatically
and continuously measures the fabric thickness to portion
the correct amount of thread for the selected stitch.
When thread tension is used, the tension discs will keep the
correct amount of tension on the upper thread. Some special
techniques may require the use of thread tension. Deselect
the deLuxe™ stitch system in the temporary sewing settings
to ensure that thread tension is engaged. When the deLuxe™
stitch system is selected in temporary sewing settings the
control visible in sewing mode will change between thread
portioning and thread tension depending on the current
settings and the loaded stitch.
Thread portioning control
Thread tension control
Use the thread portioning/thread tension control to adjust
the balance between needle thread and bobbin thread, e.g.
decrease when using metallic thread and increase when using
heavy weight thread. Make a few tests with different settings
on a scrap piece of the fabric you are going to use and check
the balance between the upper thread and the bobbin thread.
Note: When changing the value of the thread portioning/thread tension
setting, the changes only affect the selected stitch. Your changed settings
will be reset to default when selecting another stitch.
Tip: Increase the thread portioning/thread tension setting for best results
when sewing on denim fabric with thick threads.
Adjust Thread Tension/Thread Portioning
For the best stitch appearance and durability make sure the
threads meet evenly between the two fabric layers.
