Tension Adjustment

Satin stitching generally requires even
less tension than open zig-zag stitching.

Furthermore, the wider the satin stitch,

the lighter the tension.must be- Thus,
maximum stitch width setting requires
the least tension. Make a test sample and

low^er the tension on your needle thread
as required.
