Thread
Tension
for Zigzag
Stitch
For an ideal zigzag stitch,
bobbin
thread
does not
show on right side of fabric and needle thread shows
slightly
on wrong
side.
See the illustrations
for correct
appearance.
To match
this appearance,
adjust the needle tension.
,, Correct
tension
_ Right side of fabric (Top side of fabric)
_) Wrong side of fabric (Bottom side of fabric)
Minimize
the amount
of needle thread
visible on the
wrong side of fabric without
causing
excessive
puckering
or causing
bobbin
thread
to show on the
right side of fabric.
Results vary with fabric,
thread
and sewing
conditions.
