tension experiment
tension experiment, originally uploaded by queen puff puff.
Sarah had some good feedback about the tension on the elastic thread. Other tutorials say to wind the bobbin with NO tension while the thread instructions say to use loose to firm tension. So I decided to do a comparison. The sample of the left has absolutely no tension while the one on the right is pretty tight. Both of them were sewn wth a stitch length of 3mm, jtop tension set at 4 and on the same light muslin.
And….. the results look pretty similar; although I do think the gathers are tighter on the sample with the tighter tension. But I actually like the softness of the one on the left.
What do you think?

Thanks for doing the experiment. Your other post made sense to me because it seems that if the elastic is stretched more before being attached to the fabric that it will pull the fabric tighter in the end. The other blogger just has had a different experience for some unknown reason I guess. I bought some elastic thread the other day and will one day get around to actually using it - the “one day” part seems to always be my downfall though HAHA!
Thanks again!
