For Straight Stitch
The ideal straight stitch will have threads locked between the two layers of fabric,
as shown above, magnified to show detail.
ifyou look at the stitch, tront and back, you witl notice that there are no gaps, that
each stitch is smooth and even.
When adjusting top thread tension, the higher the number, the tighter the top
thread.
Choose the Correct Tension:
The best tension wili depend on;
the stiffness and thickness of the fabric
the number of fabric iayers
the type of stitch
f
The lop lhread
_${oo loose.
The top thread
appears on the
underside ot the
labnc
Tension is too loose:
The top thread shows through the
bottom of the fabric. The bottom side ol
the stitch will feet bumpy,
The top thread
_sloo tight,
The bobbin lhread
appeers on the
upper surtace ot _he
tabric
k,, j
Tension is too tight:
The bobbin thread wiil come through
the top of the fabric, The top side of the
stitch will feel bumpy.

For Zigzag Stitch

fabric and the top threads will show siightly on the bottom side. See below tar the
correct appearance. To match this appearance, adjust the top tension.

Bottom side of Fabric
Too Tight:
--Corner ot each z_g

on the top side at
fabrics
Bottom side of Fabric
Too Loose:
--The top thread will
_oop through bottom
side of fabric and will
be pulled almost
together.
Bottom side of Fabric
Just Right:
Minimize the amount
ot top thread visible
on the bottom side o1
fabric without causing
excessive puckering
or causing the bobbin
thread to show on the
top side. Results vary
with fabric, thread and
sewing conditions.
