Checking the Thread Tension    45

Check the embroidery to see if it was sewn with the correct thread tension. If the thread tension is not adjusted 
correctly, the stitching may be uneven or there may be puckering in the fabric.

■ Correct thread tension

From the wrong side of the fabric, the bobbin 
thread should be about one third of the stitch 
width.

If the embroidery appears as shown below, the 
thread tension is incorrect. Correct the thread 
tension.

The tension of the upper thread is too tight, 
resulting in the lower thread being visible from 
the right side of the fabric.

Loosen the tension dial by turning the dial 
counterclockwise.

The tension of the upper thread is too loose, 
resulting in a loose upper thread, loose thread 
locks or loops appearing on the right side of the 
fabric.

Tighten the tension dial by turning the dial 
clockwise.

For details on adjusting the thread tension, refer to 
“Adjusting the Thread Tension” on page 85.

● In this tutorial, the thread tension was 

checked after embroidering was finished. 
However, normally, embroidering should 
be temporarily paused and the thread 
tension should be checked after the first 100 
stitches of each color sewn with each 
needle bar.

● The resulting embroidery may not appear as 

expected, due to the type or thickness of the 
fabric being sewn or to the type of stabilizer 
material used. Be sure to sew a trial 
embroidery before sewing on your project.

● In the built-in embroidery patterns, one 

pattern is used for checking the thread 
tension. For details, refer to “Checking the 
thread tension of built-in patterns” on 
page 160.
