of
tension
is
important
to good
sewing.
-
There
is
no
single
tension
setting
appropriate
for
all
stitch
functions,
thread
on
fabric.
-
A balanced
tension
(identical
stitches
both
top
and
bottom)
is
usually
only
desirable
for
straight
stitch
construction
sewing.
-
90%
of
all
sewing
will
be
between “3”
and
“5”
(“4”
is basic
setting).
-
For
zigzag
and
decorative
sewing
stitch
functions,
thread
tension
should
generally
be
less
than
for
straight
stitch
sewing.
-
For
all
decorative
sewing
you
will
always
obtain a
nicer
stitch
and
less
fabric
puckering
when
the
upper
thread
appears
on
the
bottom
side
of
your
fabric.
