Adjust the NeedleThreadTension for
Straight Stitch
• Correct tension
(_ Needle thread (Top thread)
(_ Bobbin thread (Bottom thread)
_) To loosen
_) To tighten
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 a seam, notice that there
are no gaps. Each stitch is smooth and even.
When adjusting needle thread tension, the higher the number,
the tighter the top thread tension.
Results depend on:
stiffness and thickness of the fabric
number of fabric layers
type of stitch

number to loosen the needle thread tension.
