ADJUSTING NEEDLE THREAD TENSION

Zig-zag

stitching

requires

less

needle

thread

tension than straight stitching.

Make

a

test sample

with

the

fabric

and

thread

you

plan

to

use

so

that

you

can

adjust

the

tension

properly.

The

stitches

should

lie

flat

against

the

fabric

without

causing

the

fabric

to pucker.

If

the

stitches

are

not

fiat

and

the

fabric

is

puckered,

lower

the

needle

thread

tension

by

turning the dial to a lower number.

ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH

Any stitch length setting from

1

to

4

will give

you an open zig-zag stitch.

The

higher

the

number,

the

more

open,

or

farther apart your stitches will be.

The area between

0

and

1

on the dial, is used

for

the

adjustment

of

zig-zag

satin-stitching,

a

series

of

closely

spaced

plain

zig-zag

stitches

that

form

a

smooth,

satin-like

surface.

(Refer

to page 21 for information on satin stitching).
