‘There are many reasons for having to reset your tension. The best tension for one fabric may not be correct for

another. The required tension depends upon the stiffness of fabric, thickness of the fabric, numbers of layers of

fabric being sewn, as well as the type of stitch you are making.

*lt is better to test the stitching on a scrap of the fabric you are using before starting to make a garment.
