Adjust
the needle thread
tension
for a zigzag
stitch
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 (Bottom side) of the
fabric.
See the illustrations for the correct appearance.
To match this appearance, adjust the needle tension as
necessary.

tension

or causing
the bobbin thread to
show on the right side (Top side) of the fabric.

thread and sewing
conditions.
