Proper setting of tension is
important to good sewing.
There is no single tension setting
appropriate for all stitch functions,
thread or fabric.
A balanced tension (identical
stitches both top and bottom) is
usually only desireable for straight
stitch.
90% of sewing will require tension
settings between 2 and 5.
Move tension lever to lower
number.
Move tension lever to higher
number.
For zig zag sewing and decorative
stitch functions, thread tension
should be less than for straight
stitch sewing.
You will always obtain a nicer stitch
and less puckering when upper
thread appears on the bottom side
of your fabric.
