chainstitching
Single-thread chainstitching looks like regu
lar straight stlching on top but is a series of in
terlocking loops on the underside of the
fabric. The stitches are produced by the nee
dle thread alone so you do not need a bobbin
thread or a bobbin. Because the stitches are
formed by a single thread, the interlocked
loops ravel easily, allowing the entire line of
stitching to be removed with just a pull on the
thread end.

ADJUSTING TENSION
To find the correct tension setting for
chainstitching, set the tension dial on 3 and
make a test sample in your fabric. If the loops
in the ohain on the underside of the fabric are
loose and irregular in size, increase tension.
When the tension is correctly adjusted, the
chain will be flat and smooth and the fabric
unpuckered.
