5. When you sew the stitch you should only see
your bobbin thread. Increase the needle tension
as needed to produce the desired effect.
Note: Use needle size 90 and lightweight, soft cotton
bobbin thread when sewing handlook quilt stitches. You
might need to adjust the thread tension depending on
which fabric, thread and batting that are used. Make a
few tests on a scrap piece of the fabric you are going to
sew and check the tension.
