Adjusting the Thread Tension
Balanced thread tension
Balanced embroidery tension should show a small and
even amount of embroidery thread on the backside
of the embroidered design. When threads are looking
unbalanced on your design always check these steps
first.
• re-thread the machine on top. Be sure that the
embroidery thread is feeding evenly and correctly off
the spool.
• Check that the embroidery thread hasn’t come out of
thread guides.
• Check that the bobbin is correctly threaded.
When the needle thread tension is too tight
the bobbin thread shows on the right side of the fabric.
reduce the tension by turning the tension dial to a lower
number.

Bobbin thread
When the needle thread tension is too loose
the embroidery thread shows more on the back of the
design and can form loops.
increase the tension by turning the dial to a higher
number.
