How a design is digitized can definitely contribute to puckering, warping, and registration problems.

While long and short stitches do have an effect on how tightly a stitch is formed, I know of no way to make a design that intentionally causes bobbin thread to come to the top or other tension issues. You should see the bobbin thread running down the center and approximately 1/3 of the total column width with 1/3 needle thread showing along each outer edge. The standard test for verifying tensions is to sew a 1″ tall satin stitch block capital “H” and check the backside. The only way to know if you adjusted correctly is to test sew. To adjust the bobbin case, turn the tension screw in no more than 1/4 of a turn using the guideline “righty tighty, lefty loosey.” If the bobbin thread is showing on top, you’ll want it tighter. It’s smart to have a second bobbin case that you use just for embroidery. Lower end models may only come with one bobbin case and the adjusting screw may be covered to prevent any adjusting. One may be specifically designated for machine embroidery. Some machines will come with two bobbin cases. Although bobbin cases are designed for long use, they are still considered disposable. Why? It will just lose tension over time. Adjusting the Bobbin TensionĮven if you’re using all the same types of threads that worked before, you’ve cleaned your machine, have a new embroidery needle, and know everything is threaded correctly, you may still need to adjust your bobbin tension. It just means you may need to adjust your bobbin tension for proper tensions. This is not to say you can’t use a different type of bobbin thread. The smoothness and weight play a huge role in how the thread passes through the bobbin tensioners. For example, your machine may have come with a specific brand of bobbin thread and your bobbin may be factory tensioned to work with just that one. If you’re winding your own bobbins, make sure they are wound evenly, with neutral tension, and not over-filled. A size L and class 15 bobbins are the same diameter but different heights and are therefore not interchangeable. If you are using prewounds, make sure they are the right size. Some machines work well with pre-wound bobbins, others not so much. Next, make sure you are using the recommend bobbin type and weight for your machine. Most embroidery threads are cross-wound and these are designed for the thread to feed off the top of the spool. Another solution is to extend the thread path to allow the thread to relax and unkink before it gets to the first thread guide. Look for these types of issues and try rethreading the upper thread.

The thread has tangled and hit an obstacle, such as a thread guide.

The thread has slid off the bottom of the spool/cone/tube and pooled underneath and is now hung up (can also cause thread breaks).

The top thread may have caught on something. If it’s just an occasional, random occurrence, then it’s likely due to a momentary upper thread feed issue. Does it happen with certain stitch types or certain threads? Occasional Occurrences Become a Detectiveįirst, determine if the issue is fairly consistent or just a random here and there thing. Short stitches tend to be pulled more tightly into the fabric and are also more likely to pull the bobbin to the top. Longer stitches tend to be fluffier and are more likely to loop (some machines are worse at controlling looping than others).

If you use a finer thread in the needle, then you might see relatively little bobbin thread on the back in satin columns. If you use a thicker thread in the needle, you may get more bobbin thread on top. Thicker threads increase tension and thinner threads decrease tension. Along with weight is the texture of the thread. The next major factor that affects tensions is thread weight and that includes both top and bottom.

Some machines also use a different bobbin for machine embroidery. Most home machines have automatic adjustments that occur when you switch into embroidery mode. Obviously, machine settings are the first thing that come to mind.
