th e Top Thread Tension

The ideal straight stitch will have threads locked between the two 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.

When adjusting top thread tension, the higher the number, the tighter the top

thread.

Choose the Correct Tension:

The best tension will depend on;

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

-------— the number of tabric layers

----------- the type ot 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 of the tabric. The top side oi

the stitch will feel bumpy.
