Prepare Your Top Thread (Continued)
o Adjust the Top Thread Tension
The ideal straight stitch will have threads locked between the tw/o layers of
fabric, as shown above, magnified to show detail.
If you look at the stitch, front and back, you will notice that there are no
gaps, that each stitch is smooth and even.
Choose the Correct Tension:
The best tension will depend on;
-------- the stiffness and thickness of the fabric
-------- the number of fabric layers
-------- the type of stitch
The top thread shows through the
bottom of the fabric. The bottom side
of the stitch will feel bumpy.
The bobbin thread will come through
the top ot the fabric. The top side ot
the stitch will feel bumpy.
