For Straight Stitch

The ideal straight stitch will have threads locked between the two layers of fabric, as shown above, magnified to show detail.

If you look at the stitch, front and back, you will notice that there are no gaps, that each stitch is smooth and even.

When adjusting top thread tension, the higher the number, the tighter the top thread.

Choose the Correct Tension:

The best tension will depend on;

the stiffness and thickness of the fabric the number of fabric layers

the type of stitch

The top thread is too loose.

The top thread appears on the underside of the fabric

The top thread is too tight•

The bobbin thread

appears on the upper surface of the fabric

Tension is too loose:

The top thread shows through the bottom of the fabric. The bottom side of the stitch will feel bumpy.

Tension is too tight:

The bobbin thread will come through the top of the fabric. The top side of the stitchwill feel bumpy.
