Adjusting Embroidery Tension the EASY way! Identifying Tension issues.
This was performed on a Brother PE500 4x4 machine, however it will work on just about any home embroidery machine! Tension is the cause of a LOT of problems in embroidery. By taking 15 minutes to do this simple tension test, you can see how to adjust your upper tension easily.
One of the things that would make embroidery easier is a good embroidery editing software program.

Hi Eve! This is great info. I like this method too b/c it’s foolproof! Sure glad I found you a few years back when I was beginning- your info is always super and spot-on!! Thanks sew much.

@doreen4846 3 года назад

You are a star ! I have just bought a Brother M280D and couldn't understand why my bobbin thread was coming to the top all the time. This machine has the bobbin tension pre-set and cannot be adjusted (as I was being advised to do on other videos) Thankfully I came across your video and I changed the tension as you explained, from 4 to between the 2 and 3. MAGIC !! Thank you Eve

@kennethwoods5159 4 года назад

Thank you so much for this video! I haven't even used a sewing machine before and I bought a Brother PE800 a couple weeks ago. Without knowing anything things have gone pretty well until today when I was stitching the largest image I had worked on to date and ruined two shirts when things went wrong!! Your video helped me to set up my tension properly and finally be able to complete my large stitched graphic properly. Now I actually know what to look for on the back of my embroidery! This video and others you have made have been a huge help!! Thanks for helping a rookie!! Best wishes!!

This is fabulous! I had embroidery tension issues, and this helped me solve them. Combining my knowledge of how to check the tension on an adjustable bobbin (and adjust it), this method for upper tension adjustment is the best I’ve seen! Thanks! As it turns out, the upper embroidery tension settings on my machine are digital, nevertheless, your method still works!

@MariaAdelina 4 года назад

I've had to learn my machine and learn each design. I write down the tension that works best for each part of the design on a note pad if I know I'm going to duplicate it a few times. If the design is really layered then my machine will want me to lower at each level. Makes sense. The design finish changes completely when I do this vs just leaving the tension at one place the whole time. Night and day. It's all about finding those sweet spots sometimes 🤷🏽‍♀️

Just found your video . I have a new brother 770.. The patterns built in are fine . I just learned how to download a pattern and tried to put it on a tea towel . The top thread is just tight loops on the bottom.. Does this mean that the digitized design was not good that i purchased or is it a tension problem ? this was first time i used the flash drive ...

I have a brother pe525 tried embroidering a design and it was a mess underneath to the point I put a hole in the fabric trying to cut it out by the way I'm trying to embroider fleece the tension was at 1 and 1/2 the bird nurse was so bad in the bottom I had to unscrew the plate and clean ... Any special tips for embroidery fleece? Before I embroidery any design I will try join the letter L or I like you suggested but anything else I should use I use water syllable stabilizer on top and thin stabilizer on the bottom I think I got that part right😅

@brivers9132 3 года назад

I have a question? I just starting watching your videos. I have a brother PE800 embroidery machine and just a beginner. I am not new to sewing but new to embroidery. I need to know how to adjust the tension for fleece fabric as I make a lot of fleece baby blankets. My tension is factory preset to 4.0 but when I use that a very very minute small amount of bobbin threads show on the top edges of the letter when I embroider the letter I like you suggested. I look on the back and it is about 1/2 bobbin thread and 1/2 top thread showing. I have been trying different samples but still cannot come up with the perfect tension. I am using cutaway stablizer on the bottom and the water soluble topper on top. I am using bobbin thread 60 and embroidery thread 40 on top. What am I doing wrong?

@karenrivers-johnson2210 3 года назад

Hi, I really need help. I just started using my new PE800 Embroidery machine, never used any embroidery machine before. I threaded it correctly however it started to embroider and then thread a lot of thread was tangled under the material and inside machine. I cut thread out, took the silver metal up and made sure all thread was removed but when I put it back together it now won’t embroider. Can you help me please?

Hello I have a question so I’m trying to do use a htv glitter appliqué and when I stitch this out there’s gaps in my design. but when I don’t use glitter HTV for the appliqué it stitches out perfect. if I use regular vinyl it stitches out perfect so I’m thinking it has to do with the glitter vinyl that I’m using. It might be too thick and it’s causing the tension to go off. ?? ..what do you think? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you so much.

@nickcalingo3309 5 лет назад

@janetmckinney2487 6 лет назад

I was doing a design on a towel and I forgot to put the water stabiler on top so I stop the machine and put the water stabilizer on top then started the design all over again it went over it twice.thank goodness it didn't come out to bad .but Eve is there a way to go back to restitch once you are half way in to your design ? thank you for your time.ps I did check the tension on my machine today thank you for all your videos.

@vivlee3840 4 года назад

T here's a sewing on the machine with a needle and a - or + which can be used to go backseat or forwards on your design, if you're thread breaks for example. Always best to check the manual!.. Or RU-vid!!

@TheBabysBooty 3 года назад

Thank you for your comment and question. If the bobbin thread doesn't show then the top tension is too tight. Lower the number a bit and see if that helps.

Hi...I have a SE 625 embroidery machine. So Have you ever experience your embroidery machine needle hitting the plate. Misaligned. If so, can you please tell me how you fixed that problem...thanks so much. .

@TheBabysBooty Год назад

Changing the needle was my first step. If it still hit the plate after changing the needle, then that could mean the needle bar (the shaft that holds the needle) has been bent.

@MissRemiTheRainbowChild 5 лет назад

Is adjusting the lower bobbin tension the same when it's being used for regular sewing?

@TheBabysBooty 5 лет назад

An embroidery machine is just a sewing machine with an automatic arm that holds a hoop. You can adjust the tension similarly. The only difference is the way the stitches lie. Take a moment to Google "sewing machine tension" and find a picture of how your thread should look when sewing so that you will have a guide.

@best_playlist_movies 4 года назад

Thank u but i always got thread problem on my brother sewing machine XL-4030, sometimes can embroider sometimes not and i dont know which numbers should i use☹

@TheBabysBooty 4 года назад

If you still have embroidery issues even after trying the method I show here, then your machine may need maintenance. Use this checklist: does it still mess up after changing the needle? Does it still mess up with a new bobbin? Try again after changing your thread to a new spool. Is it messing up only on one particular design? Look down into the bobbin case, is it dirty? These are just a few things you can check to try to fix what may be wrong before taking it to a shop.

@emmarosenkranz6640 3 года назад

Thank you so much! I have a Brother PE535 and every single time I try sewing it says that I need to re thread the upper thread (even though I did it correctly) then a lot of the bobbin thread gets bunched up and eats my fabric! Do you think this is because I'm at the wrong tension? Thanks!

@user-bd8xl5fe8d 3 года назад

I have the same problem!! I googled and my problem was threading while the foot is down. Your foot should be up while threading the machine

@doreenlewis146 3 года назад

I was always told not to mess with the tension? I have a pe800 and my top thread is not showing at all underneath what should I do?

@TheBabysBooty 3 года назад

The tension is there for you to make necessary adjustments for different weights of thread and material. Check your manual to see how to adjust the tension. If the instructions are in there... then you CAN adjust it without worries!
