Correct tension

To loosen
To tighten
The ideal straight stitch has threads locked
between two layers of fabric, as illustrated
(magnified to show detail).If you look at the
top and bottom of a seam, notice that the
stitches are evenly balanced.
When adjusting the needle thread tension,
the higher the number, the tighter the top
thread tension.
Results depend on:
-stiffness and thickness of the fabric
-number of fabric layers
-type of stitch
Tension is too tight

The bobbin thread shows through on the
wrong side of the fabric, and the stitch
feels bumpy. Turn the dial to a lower
tension setting number to loosen the
needle thread tension.
