TENSION MAKES OR MARS
STITCH.
The tension of your sewing machine
is an all-important consideration of
every home dressmaker. It must be
regulated according to the weight of
material used and a perfect stitch
should be alike onboth sides. This
perfect stitch is obtained when the
tension on the upper and under side is
alike. The upper tension is usually
placed on. the face of the machine or
else on the arm; the lower tension is
adjusted by a screw in the bobbin
case. In regulating the delivery of.
thread both through the upper and
lower tension, turn the adjusting
screw to the right to tighten, and to
the left to loosen.
The length of the stitch is reulated
by a screw or a lever on the head at
the right of the machine; this stitch
is lengthened by turning to the right.
ImPaoi'Elt WORKING OF MACHINE.
Does your upper thread break? If
so, is this the reason?
imperfect needle (bent ex blunt) ,
lefacliine improperly threaded.
Needle too small for the thread.
Needle improperly set.
Dirt or lint in. the .shuttle cavity
which stops the bobbin from turning
freely.
Worn.
Does your nlachine skip stitches?
If this is the condition examine it,
considering the following points:
?hunt or crooked needle.
Needle and thread not correspond-
ing in size.
Needle improperly set.
Wrong needle for the machine.
Are youconstantly breaking need,
les? Here are some of the reasons:
Failure to release the tension be-
fore drawing the work from under the
presser foot
Trying to assist the feed points by
pulling the material as the .machine
is stitching.
