Whenever you are using this stitch, it is well to remember to loosen the'tension of
the top thread slightly. The wider the stitch you make, the looser the tension should
be.
If you are stitching on a very soft fabric, use a backing of tissue paper or interfacing
for a well formed stitch. Puckering of the material will be eliminated and the bobbin
thread will not be visible on the right side of the fabric.
As with all special stitches, it is best to make a sample design on your fabric before
starting the design on the garment.
