2. Thread your machine in the usual way except
pass thread from take-up lever through self
threading eyelet in the chainstitch thread guide.
Soft, pliable threads of light and medium weight
are most suitable for chainstitching. No. 50
Mercerized cotton and “A’’ silk are recom
mended. Use these threads in a Size 14 needle.
3. Adjust thread tension. Chainstitching requires
approximately the same needle-thread tension as
regular straight stitching, provided the same kind
of thread is used. When the tension is correctly
adjusted, the chain will be flat and smooth. Puck
ers in the fabric and pinched loops indicate too
much tension; turn dial to a lower number. Large,
irregular loops indicate too little tension; turn
dial to a higher number.
