Top Tension

One of the joys of quilting with the Gallant XL Stationary quilting machine is its ability to utilize many

dierent 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 tight. 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 batting you are using for your project.

 NOTE: Top tension should be adjusted after 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 aect

tension settings. Each time you change threads, you should check your tension

Â IMPORTANT: Before adjusting your top tension, remember to oss the top thread UP

between the tension discs or it will oat outside the discs providing little or no top tension.

This could cause signicant stitch quality or thread nesting problems.

 QUILTING TIP: Test the tension settings before quilting. The best way to make sure the top

and bobbin tension settings are balanced is by quilting a test sample. Keep small pieces of

light solid fabric on hand to place at the side of the quilt on the extra batting and backing.

Then quilt some small loops and swirls and look at the stitches on top and underneath to

ensure the tension looks balanced. Fine tune the tension as needed.

To adjust the top tension

1. Test stitching with a scrap of fabric placed on the extra batting and backing at the side of

the quilt. Examine the stitches both on the top and on the underside of the quilt.

2. Adjust the tension by turning the tension dial clockwise to tighten and counter-clockwise to

loosen.

3. Continue to test the stitching on the fabric scrap and adjust by turning the tension dial until

you are happy with the stitches.
