Adjusting Needle-Thread Tension

TENSION
NEEDLE-THREAD
Basic zig-zag stitching requires less
needle-thread tension than straight stitch
ing. Make a test sample with the fabric
and thread you plan to use so that you can
adjust the tension properly. The stitches
should lie flat against the fabric without
causing the fabric to pucker.
If the stitches are not flat and the fabric is
puckered, lower the needle-thread tension
by turning the dial to a lower number.
