Why is it important to adjust the thread tension correctly?
The correct thread tensions of the upper and lower threads are important parameters to achieve a perfect and harmonious embroidery pattern.
Signs that the upper thread tension is not correct:
Thread loops form on the surface
Visibility of the upper thread on the back of the design
Thread breakage
The embroidery is distorted
Signs that the bobbin thread tension is not correct:
Visibly loose bobbin thread on the underside of the embroidery
The bobbin thread is pulled upwards and is visible in the design
Poor embroidery quality
