Perfect tension Too high tension Too low tension B A Needle thread tension To get perfect sewing results, the needle and bobbin thread tensions must be perfectly tuned to each other. The normal setting for utility stitches is in the range of 4-5. Check the tension with a wide zigzag stitch. The threads must be interlaced between the two fabric pieces. If the needle thread tension is too high the threads are interlaced above the top fabric. If the needle thread tension is too low, the threads are interlaced below the lower fabric.
