Correct Tension Regulation
Balanced tensions are essential for sewing. If your tension is correct, you will
have perfect seams as sketched below (Ill).
Sketch I — The threads interlock on the underside of the fabric.
Ca use: Upper tension too loose or lower tension
too
tight.
Sketch II — The threads interlock
on
the surface of the fabric.
Ca use: Upper tension too tight or lower tension too loose.
To
check whether the tensions
ore correctly
balanc
ed, take a
closely woven piece of fabric and sew
a
few stroighi
and
zigzag
seams. If the straight
stitches
are tightly drawn in on
both
sides of the
fabric (see
seam
sketch Ill),
the tensions are cor
rect. The
surest way to
double-check this is
by ex
amining a zigzag
seam, If the zigzag seam is
equally wide on surface and
underside of
the
fabric, that is if the
threads are locked exactly at
the zigs
ond zags of the seam, the tension
adlust
ment is
correct.
