the Right Tension
A perfect seam is strong, flat and
smooth. To make a perfect seam
the tension on your thread must be
just right. Tension is adjusted by
turning the tension thumb nut.
If your stitching looks like this,
make it tighter by turning the
tension thumb nut to the right.
If your stitching looks like this,
make it looser by turning the
tension thumb nut to the left.
When your seam looks like this,
the tension is just right.

To End Stitching in Fabric
Sometimes you may need to end
your stitching in the fabric. It is a
good idea to finish tucks, pleats,
hems and circles of stitching this
way.
Turn the hand wheel until the
needle is as high as it will go.
Raise the presser foot.

To start your next seam, hold the
fabric edge against the front of the
presser foot and turn the hand
wheel. The fabric will "feed" under
the foot and you are on your way.
To Sew a Fine Seam continued...
An easy way to end a seam is to
stitch right off the edge of the
fabric. Make a little chain about
one inch long. Cut in the middle.
