Mind the Tension

Written By ZARAMIA AVA

Selecting the correct tension for your fabric is key to getting an even, durable finish on your stitching.

Weight of fabric, number of layers, stretch, thickness of thread and stitch type affect tension.

Turn the tension down if you are seeing little loops on the top of the work (or if you are seeing bunching) and turn it up if loops are appearing underneath. Adjust the dial in small increments and always test your setting on a scrap of the fabric you’ll be sewing.

Happy sewing!
