When the uppef tensions ore properly balanced,

a perfect stitch will be formed with both threads

interlocking in fabric (Fig. 16-A).

When the upper tension is too tight, the lower

thread IS pulled up over the upper thread which is lying flat on the fabric (Fig. 16-B)

When the upper tension is too loose, the upper

thread forms loops over the lower thread lying flat

on the fabric (Fig. 16-C).
