The ideal straight stitch has threads
locked between
two layers of fabric,
as illustrated.
If you look at the top and bottom of a seam, notice
that there are no gaps. Each stitch is smooth and even.
When adjusting
the needle thread tension,
the higher
the number, the tighter the needle thread tension.
Results depend
on:

and thickness
of the fabric
- number of fabric layers
- type of stitch

Adjusting
the needle thread tension for a
zigzag
stitch
For an ideal
zigzag
stitch, the bobbin thread does not
show on the right side (Top side) of the fabric and
needle thread shows
slightly on the wrong
side
(Bottom side) of the fabric.
See the illustrations
for correct appearance.
To match this appearance,
adjust the needle tension.

Minimize
the amount of needle thread visible on the

or causing the bobbin thread to
show on the right side (Top side) of the fabric.
Results vary with fabric, thread and sewing conditions.
