The needle thread and the bobbin
thread should interlock in the
center of two layers of fabric in
straight stitch seams.
Set the desired
number of the
thread tension dial
at setting mark.
Loosen the needle thread
tension by moving the
dial to a lower number
Tighten the needle thread
tension by moving the
dial to a higher number.
To obtain better zigzag stitches,
the upper tension should be
slightly lower than in the case of
straight sewing. The upper thread
should appear slightly on the
reverse side of the fabric.
