The needle thread shows through on the wrong side

of the fabric, and the stitch feels bumpy. Turn the dial to a

higher tension setting number to tighten the needle thread tension.

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_

•Correct tension

(t_ Right side (Top side) of fabric Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric

Minimize the amount of needle thread visible on the wrong side (Bottom side) of the fabric without causing excessive puckering, or causing the bobbin thread to show on the right side (Top side) of the fabric.

Results vary with fabric, thread and sewing conditions
