To check to see if your machine has proper tension, look at the wrong
side of the embroidery. Proper tension should be where the
bobbin thread is covering the middle 3rd of the back of the
embroidery. The image below shows different tensions from
the wrong side of the embroidery stitches. You should see
approximately 1/3 of the top thread on either side of the bobbin
thread. The column on the far left shows proper bobbin and top
thread tension. The column in the middle shows the bobbin
tension too tight and/or the top thread too loose. Sometimes
the bobbin thread is barely showing. If this happens it is very
likely that the bobbin thread may break during wear and tear
and the embroidery will come loose. The column on the right
shows the bobbin tension too loose and/or the top tension too
tight. The bobbin thread could be showing on the right side of
the embroidery in some places and it is very likely that the stitches
could become loose during wearing.
Bobbin Tension Adjustment
Adjusting the bobbin is a little more difficult. Only adjust the bobbin if
you cannot achieve a proper tension with the adjustments to the
top thread tension.
Remove the bobbin cover from the machine.
Using the 3-Way Screwdriver Tool provided in the accessory pouch,
remove the two screws from the stitch plate and lift up the stitch
plate.
