Adjusting the Needle Thread Tension for

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 thecorrect appearance

To match this appearance, adjust the needle tension

=Correct tension

_Right side (Topside) offabric

_ Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric

Minimize the amount ofneedle thread visible on the

wrong side (Bottom side) of the fabric without causing

excessive puckering, or causing the bobbin thread to

show on theright side (Top side) ofthe fabric.

Results vary with fabric, thread and sewing conditions
