Correct tension
The thread tension is adjusted depending on
the sewing materials, layers of fabric and
sewing method.
For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread
does not show on the right side (top side) of
the fabric, and the needle thread shows slightly
on the wrong side (bottomside) of the fabric.
