Top Tension
One of the joys of quilng with the Gallant is its ability to ulize many dierent types of thread. You can
quilt with almost any high-quality thread as long as you rst adjust the bobbin tension and then adjust the
top tension to suit the thread you’ve chosen.
Puckering, gathers, and thread breakage occur when the top thread tension is too ght. Loops and thread
nests occur when the top thread tension is too loose. Tension may need to be adjusted depending on the
fabric, thread, or bang you are using for your project.
NOTE: Top tension should be adjusted aer the bobbin case tension adjustment is made.
NOTE: Dark threads will be thicker (because of more dye) than light threads of the same weight
and may require a tension adjustment. The type or brand of thread may also aect tension sengs.
Each me you change threads, you should check your tension.
 IMPORTANT: Before adjusng your top tension remember to oss the top thread UP between the
tension discs or it will oat outside the discs providing lile or no top tension. This could cause
signicant stch quality or thread nesng problems.
QUILTING TIP: Test the tension sengs before quilng. The best way to make sure the top and bobbin
tension sengs are balanced is by quilng a test sample. Keep small pieces of light solid fabric on hand to
place at the side of the quilt on the extra bang and backing. Then quilt some small loops and swirls and
look at the stches on top and underneath to ensure the tension looks balanced. Fine tune the tension as
needed.
To adjust the top tension
1. Test stching with a scrap of fabric placed on the extra bang and backing at the side of the quilt.
Examine the stches both on the top and on the underside of the quilt.
2. Adjust the tension by turning the tension dial clockwise to ghten and counter-clockwise to loosen.
3. Connue to test the stching on the fabric scrap and adjust by turning the tension dial unl you are
happy with the stches.
