Embroidery Tips and Tricks

The most important habit to get into is feeling thread tension every time you touch the thread. If you change a bobbin, make sure the tension is correct and the thread is not caught, both when you put the new bobbin in the case and when you insert it into the machine. Whenever you change a cone of thread or fix a break, check the tension. This will confirm that it is threaded properly. If you miss putting it in the take up lever, it will feel too loose. If you’ve looped it around anything, it will feel too tight. I can’t stress enough “check the tension“. This will save you so much time and reduce your spoilage. You’ll be able to fix the problem before you even start the machine.
