Balancing Needle Thread Tension
z Correct tesion:
The thread tension is adjusted
depending on the sewing materials,
layers of fabric and sewing method.
* The ideal straight stitch has threads
looked between two layers of fabric,
as illustrated (magnifies to show
detail).
* 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.
