Pay Attention To The Tension!
Troubleshooting issues with your machine will save you money and time with a technician. The most common problem is with tension, either upper threads or bobbin. Incorrect tension can not only cause your embroidery to not look right, it can also cause issues with your machine.
- Seeing bobbin thread in your design
- No Bobbin thread showing under the design
- Bird's Nests - this can cause damage to your rotary hook
- Needle breakage can create burs on your rotary hook and possibly ruin your garment
- Upper tension knobs are set wrong for thread type
- Bobbin case tension setting needs to be adjusted
- Bobbin case needs to be cleaned - 85% of tension problems are due to issues with the bobbin and/or case
- Bobbin case needs to be replaced - could be out of round, rusted, etc.
