Basic Operations

Tensions

Thread Tensions are very important and probably one of the most underestimated issues in embroidery. The thread tensions should be constantly checked.

Bobbin Tensions

Embroidery Machine Bobbins

The bobbin tension should be adjusted when the bobbin is changed. Once the bobbin tension is set, it should not be changed again until it is replaced with another new bobbin.

Thread Tensions

The thread tensions on the embroidery machine should be checked constantly. Do not bother setting the thread tensions without setting the bobbin tension first.
