Adjusting the Needle Thread Tension
Straight stitch balanced tension
The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two
layers of fabric, as illustrated (magnified to show detail).
If you look at the top and bottom of the seam, notice that
the stitches are evenly balanced.

When adjusting the needle thread tension, the higher the
number, the tighter the top thread tension.

- stiffness and thickness of the fabric
- number of fabric layers
- type of stitch
