How to Adjust Tension | Sewing Machine

[@cakedoow9509]

Thank you so much I’ve had this problem with my thinner fabrics for so long I can now finally sew all types of projects I’m working on. Including the ones that were on stand by due to this issue

[@carolflegel9267]

Yay! You just saved me $25+ from me not having to take my machine into a repair shop. I had the tension dial too loose and now I get perfect stitches top and bottom! THANK YOU!

[@suzygarcia8016]

No body cares

[@pruepennington5848]

Thank you very much for this tutorial, it told me what I wanted to know in simple terms so that I understood immediately. I hate listening to loads of waffle, you get straight to the point... Thank you so much .

[@hannahj6327]

Thank you for showing the basics! I just got a new machine, and the instructions, while precise, assume the reader knows what is higher/lower tension.

clear easy actions now I can sew. Jennifer is a great speaker.

Thank you so much. Simple straight to the point video, and it answered my question perfectly.

[@johnklingbeil26]

Thank you. I'm going to try this with 2 different color threads.

[@zeusincoming282]

I think that is called Contrast stitching!

[@syedraza3613]

thanks a lot to solve the basic problem for new person

[@kiranjain8872]

Thankyou.. Tutorial was really helpfull..Maybe the tension in my machine must be tight ..That's why the thread breaks off from the lower side

[@j.tamburello4053]

It would be helpful to know when to use the upper and lower end of the tension button.

[@GrammyAmanda]

Thank you for this.

[@brownr749]

Is it necessary to thread that bottom bobbin for the machine to thread or can you just thread the top and it still work?

can you make a video on this same sewing machine threading it upsetting the tension and whining the bobbin and setting it up to sew? I wanna know how to set up the one I have

[@dawncosper4851]

Hi I have the same machine you are sewing on but can't seem to get my tension set. I have played with it back and fourth and I keep getting the same stitch. The bottom looks perfect the top looks like a straight piece of thread. Can you please help me?

[@sandibeach7291]

What type of fabric are you using in your video? Really enjoyed video!

[@jos.4276]

You may need to consult your user's manual to fully understand how to fix these issues. 1. Take out your bobbin and reinstall it properly first. Many times your bobbin thread is loose from its 'moorings.' 2. Rethread your top thread as well. 3. Test on a scrap, adjusting tension until you've got it right. In conclusion: Adjusting tension is not going to fix improperly seating bobbins or improperly threaded top threads.

[@MysteryLily]

I really appreciate your chiming in here. I am getting clumpy masses of thread on the bottom - I thought it was the tension - but it's clearly something else!

[@Emkay6]

@@MysteryLilyThat happens to me when I forget to hold both my top and bobbin thread under the presser foot and towards the back for the first few stitches.

[@lindacastro683]

Helpful! Now I know what to look for so I'm not fumbling in the dark. Thanks!

[@gabrielalopezrodriguez5117]

Thank you for the video. I have a question. My machine needs really high tension (>7) to have an ok straight stitch, but at the same tension the top stitch breaks when I try the zig-zag stitch. Is that the top or the bobbin pulling too hard? Also, there is no perfect stitch in any setting. On the zig-zag setting there’s absolutely no good or okay stitch at any tension level. How can I fix this? I have the same model Kenmore as in the video, but it’s 17 years old and has not been used for over 10 of those years. I’m trying to get it back in shape so I can use it again, but I don’t want to ruin fabric or clothing with bad stitching. Help!

[@keshiacagle9233]

On mine, the top stitches look great with 0 tension, but on the back, it looks awful. It’s very loopy and loose on the back. But as soon as I adjust it to a 1, the bobbin thread comes through on the top. I’m not sure what to do.

[@Kaibil66]

Thank you for your tutorial I'll try it.

[@jojozepofthejungle2655]

Your machine only has one tension. both my old machine's have bobbin tension & foot tension which takes a bit of skill to remember which tension for which fabric so I am suggesting to all to keep a tension diary & test 1st. Old machines have a tighter tension than new ones.

[@mimid7287]

The bobbin thread is basically stopping and breaking while sewing, then continuing on. I have made all adjustments on the tension for a drapery project. Drapery fabric is heavier than lining. I have replaced the needle, taken off the feeder plate and cleaner the feeder and replaced, changed the bobbin.... Still not fixed. I really don't want to have to go to a repair shop. Any suggestions?

does anyone else feel like i do. i replaced my really old white sewing machine for a brand new brother machine..... rarely did i have to adjust the tension on my old machine like i do with my new one....... is it the machine, the threads they make now, the materials? I am so frustrated with the almost constant adjusting of the tension

[@jojozepofthejungle2655]

yes it's very infuriating so I suggest a tension diary on what works for each fabric type. Their is more than just stitch tention on older models, theirs bobbin & foot tension to get right. I was going to buy a new cheapie but I bet it's no different, maybe less sturdy? I suggest a book just about sewing tension, it's helped me a lot. Good luck

Ok... I am having difficulties... my tension is too tight... and no matter what I do with the tension dial... it looks the same... pulling the bottom thread through, and the bottom of side looks completely loose. I have even tried changing other dials along with the tension dial, so many different combinations... NOTHING is changing the tension.???

[@traciadkins6301]

Kimberly, I was having the exact same issue and after further research online I found a website that suggested double checking to ensure that your machine was threaded correctly. Guess what? Mine wasn't! I installed the bobbin upside down (the end of the thread should point toward the neck of the machine, so that when you manipulate the needle with the turn knob on the side of the machine you should see the bobbin thread cross over the top of the bobbin toward the needle). Once I fixed that my tension was a snap to adjust to sew correctly. Hope this helps. The wesite also suggested cleaning your machine and ensuring that your needle was in good repair. Traci

It could be the bobbin tension then depending on whether it is a top loading or front loading machine there will be a small screw that u can turn right tight left loosy still applies BUT ONLY TURN 1/8 TO 1/4 TURNS AT A TIME then test it again

[@AlysonJackson]

I’m still confused. How in the heck are you able to tell the tension w/o having to guesstimate. I understand factors like the thread and fabric takes part but I don’t want to get sewing on a project and the threading bunches up or does exactly what it did in this video when it was too loose or tight. If you could explain a little more, that will be greatly appreciated.
