Balancing Needle Thread Tension

z z z z z
Correct tension
The thread tension is adjusted depending on the
sewing materials, layers of fabric and sewing method.
* The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two
layers of fabric, as illustrated (magnified to show detail).
* 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.

Adjusting Bobbin Thread Tension

to be adjusted. However, you can adjust the bobbin thread
tension for a specific sewing need.
Turn the adjusting screw to the right to tighten or, to the left
to loosen the tension.
