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.
 q
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.
