adjusting needle-thread
tension
Zig-zag stitching requires less needle-thread
tension than straight stitching; and closed zig
zag stitching requires even less tension than
open zig-zag stitching. Furthermore, the wider
the stitch, the lighter the tension on the thread
must be. Thus, stitch width 4 requires the least
tension; narrower stitching requires more.
Make a test sample with the fabric and thread
you plan to use and notice the stitching. If the
stitching looks too taut, or if the fabric is pucker
ing, lower the needle-thread tension by turning
the tension dial to a lower number.
