Prepare Your Top Thread (Continued)

o Adjust the Top Thread Tension

The ideal straight stitch will have threads locked between the tw/o layers of

fabric, as shown above, magnified to show detail.

If you look at the stitch, front and back, you will notice that there are no

gaps, that each stitch is smooth and even.

Choose the Correct Tension:

The best tension will depend on;

-------- the stiffness and thickness of the fabric

-------- the number of fabric layers

-------- the type of stitch

The top thread shows through the

bottom of the fabric. The bottom side

of the stitch will feel bumpy.

The bobbin thread will come through

the top ot the fabric. The top side ot

the stitch will feel bumpy.
