CHECKING THREAD TENSION OF ZIGZAG STITCHES

The easiest way to check tension is to sew a medium zig zag stitch on the fabric you will be using. °Use the appropriate type of thread and needle as recommended on page 17.

Sew a line of zig zag stitches. The bobbin thread should not show on the top of the

fabric.

Adjust the top tension if necessary to achieve the stitch indicated at left side of illustration.

OVERCASTING

This is one of the more frequently used

zigzag stitches on garment construction: You may want to overcast along the raw edge of each seam allowance or fold the raw edge toward the garment and stitch.

Stitch so the needle pierces the fabric just short of the outside edge, Raw or worn edges of older garments can be overcast to prevent further raveling,
