The upper thread tension is changed using the thread tension dial

Sew trial stitches using thread and scrap fabric that are the same as those used for your project.
Check the sewing results. If necessary, adjust the thread tension. Refer to the procedure below to turn the thread tension dial.
Adjust the thread tension until the proper tension is achieved while checking the sewing results with trial sewing. more information here: https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqend.aspx?c=as_ot&lang=en&prod=hf_inovnv180eas&faqid=faqh00101020_000#:~:text=Turn%20the%20thread%20tension%20dial%20clockwise%20to%20tighten%20the%20upper,set%20the%20correct%20thread%20tension.
