Adjusting thread tension

When an even amount of tension is exerted on both threads, a smooth even stitch, known as a balanced stitch, is produced.

Correct tension is important because too much or too litle will weaken your seams or cause your fabric to pucker. Make a test sample with the fabric and thread you plan to use and examine it.

A perfect, well balanced stitch (1), will have the needle and bobbin threads locked between the two layers of fabric with no loops on top or bottom and no puckering.

Too much tension will produce a tight stitch (2) which will cause the fabric to pucker.

To decrease tension, turn the dial to a lower number.

Too little tension will produce a loose stitch (3) which will cause loops in your seam.

To increase tension, turn the dial to a higher number.

Ajuste de la tensión del hilo

Cuando se ejerce una tensión uniforme sobre ambos hilos, el resultado es un punto uniforme, llamado punto equilibrado.

Una tensión correcta es importante porque un exceso o una falta de tensión puede repercutir en las costuras o hacer fruncir el género. Haga una prueba con el género y el hilo que piensa utilizar y examínelo.

Un punto correcto y bien equilibrado (1), tendrá el hilo de la aguja y el de la bobina entrelazados entre las dos capas de género, sin lazos ni frunces por arriba ni por abajo.

Demasiada tensión producirá un punto tirante

(2) y hará fruncir el género.

Para disminuir la tensión, gire el disco a un número inferior.

Muy poca tensión producirá un punto flojo (3) y se formarán lazos a lo largo de la costura.

Para aumentar la tensión, gire el disco a un número más alto.

Point droit extensible

Lorsque vous utilisez le triple point droit exten- sible pour les coutures qui subissent de fortes tensions (tricot, jersey, tissus extensibles), la conception même du point renforce la couture.

Pour surpiquer, placez l’ouvrage sous le pied presseur, l’endroit du vêtement au-dessus.
