type and thickness of both thread and fabric.
Turning tension dial upwards gives a tighter
thread tension.Turning tension dial down­
wards gives a looser thread tension. The
higher the number, the tighter the tension.

Test each thread tension on a spare piece of
the fabric you propose using.
Try test -sewing with a piece of actual fabric you use and find the best
dial settings.
