My Tension Adjuster (regulator, dial) Doesn’t Seem to Be Working
                                                                                                                                              






Try these fixes:

Rethread your machine

    It may be threaded incorrectly. And when you rethread it, make sure your thread goes in
    between your tension disks. (If you don’t know where your tension disks are, consult your
    machine’s manual.)


Check your tension disks for dirt or lint

    Lint or dirt between your tension disks may be keeping your tension from working properly.
    Clean out any you find.
