CHECKING
TENSIONS
The easiest way to check tensions is to sew a medium zig zag stitch on the
fabric
you will be using.
Use the appropriate
type of thread and needle.
Use different colors of thread on the bobbin and upper spool.
Sew a line of zig zag stitches
The bobbin thread should not snow on the
top of the fabric.
Adjust the top tension if necessary to achieve the stitch balance mentioned
above
