ADJUSTING NEEDLE THREAD TENSION
Zig-zag
stitching
requires
less
needle
thread
tension than straight stitching.
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
fiat
and
the
fabric
is
puckered,
lower
the
needle
thread
tension
by
turning the dial to a lower number.
ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH
Any stitch length setting from
1
to
4
will give
you an open zig-zag stitch.
The
higher
the
number,
the
more
open,
or
farther apart your stitches will be.
The area between
0
and
1
on the dial, is used
for
the
adjustment
of
zig-zag
satin-stitching,
a
series
of
closely
spaced
plain
zig-zag
stitches
that
form
a
smooth,
satin-like
surface.

to page 21 for information on satin stitching).
