Adjust the Needle Thread Tension for a
Zigzag Stitch
•
•
•
For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread
does not show on the right side (Top side) of
the fabric, and the needle thread shows slightly
on the wrong side (Bottom side) of the fabric.
See the illustrations for the correct appearance.
To match this appearance, adjust the needle
tension.
Correct tension
Right side (Top side) of fabric
Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric
Minimize the amount of needle thread visible
on the wrong side (Bottom side) of the fabric
without causing excessive puckering, or
causing the bobbin thread to show on the right
side (Top side) of the fabric.
Results vary with fabric, thread and sewing
conditions.
Tension is too tight
Right side (Top side) of fabric
Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric
The corner of each zigzag pulls together on the
right side of the fabric.
Tension is too loose
Right side (Top side) of fabric
Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric
The corner of each zigzag pulls together on the
wrong side of the fabric.
