Balancing Needle Thread Tension

z Correct tension
The thread tension is adjusted depending
on the sewing materials, layers of fabric
and sewing method.
The ideal straight stitch has threads
locked between two layers of fabric as
illustrated.
For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin
thread does not show on the right side
(top side) of the fabric, and the needle
thread shows slightly on the wrong side
(bottom side) of the fabric.
