SECTION 2. PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR SEWING
For Zigzag Stitch
In a correct zigzag stitch, the bobbin threads will not show on the top side
of fabric and the top threads will show slightly on the bottom side. See
below for the correct appearance. To match this appearance, adjust the top
tension.

sewing.
Release to sew forward again.
Bottom side of Fabric
Too Tight:
-- Corner of each
zigzag will pull .
together on the
top side of fabrics.
Bottom side of Fabric
Too Loose:
-- The top thread
will loop through
bottom side of
fabric and will be
pulled almost
together.
Bottom side of Fabric
Just Right:
Minimize the amount
of top thread visible on
the bottom side of
fabric without causing
excessive puckering or
causing the bobbin
thread to show on the
top side. Results vary
with fabric, thread and
sewing conditions.
