Please note:
- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.
- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all stitch
functions, thread or fabric.
- A balanced tension (identical stitches both top and bottom) is
usually only desirable for straight stitch construction sewing. A B
- 90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5".
- For zig zag and decorative sewing stitch functions, thread
tension should generally be less than for straight stitch
sewing.
- For all decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer
stitch and less fabric puckering when the upper thread
appears on the bottom side of your fabric.
