I’m focusing on bobbin tension first because there is less information out there about it, we can delve into upper thread tension at a later date. Adjusting the upper thread tension is one of the first places to look when trying to solve tension issues.

There are numbers on the dial, making it easier to make note of your upper thread tension. Upper thread tension is easier to change, there is a little moveable dial on the upper left portion of the machine, along the path the thread takes from the spool to the needle. In this post, we are going to focus on the bobbin tension. Too little tension, the thread will sag or not lay flat on the fabric because there is too much slack. Too much tension, the thread ends are pulled to far apart and the thread might snap. Tension describes the amount of pull on the thread and correlates to the tightness of your stitches. Since stitch formation is a relationship between the upper thread from the spool and the bobbin thread coming from the bobbin, both the upper thread and bobbin tension need to be looked at to solve problems. When stitches become weak, bobbin threads show on the top or thread bunches keep happening, getting to know more about the machine will help solve the problem. PLEASE READ MY DISCLOSURE PAGE FOR MORE INFO. Look further down where the ◉ is and you’ll see more machine specific bobbin information there.ĭISCLOSURE: THIS POST/PAGE MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS, MEANING I MAY GET A COMMISSION IF YOU DECIDE TO MAKE A PURCHASE THROUGH MY LINKS, AT NO COST TO YOU. The process of fixing tension is relatively similar for drop in/top loading bobbon style machines (like Brother, BabyLock, Janome brands). *The machines we are working with today have a bobbin case for their bobbins.

You will learn how to check and fix bobbin tension if you are having stitch formation issues. This post is for the beginner who is somewhat comfortable with their machine and has been working along for a little bit without issue. If you need to thread your machine and fill you bobbin but do not know how, first check out this post about threading almost any kind of sewing machine.

It is still a very intense light but just not as white.įinally it seems to require less pressure to run at full brightness, in the past this lamp took a lot of pumping for its size now it seems to require a little less.Īnyway I left it running for about an hour without any issues, so very pleased to have this lamp back up and running as it is a real favourite of mine.Is your bobbin thread showing on the top side of your fabric? Are your stitches just looking wonky and not very strong or even? Sounds like your sewing machine tension is out of whack or your bobbin is behaving badly! Let’s talk about how to check to see if it is AND how to fix bobbin tension on your sewing machine. The light is more yellow before the change this was probably my whitest lamp in terms of light output as well as one of the brightest. The sound the lamp makes has changed, both my wife and I noticed this.

So the only option was to replace the jet too with the one that came in the kit.Įverything fitted perfectly and the needle functions as it should. The body of the 150cp cleaning needle didn't fit up inside the bottom opening of my original 200cp jet. I didn't try a 500cp jet in the end but I did get a couple of 150cp Petromax Jets and needles that came as a "kit" with a little cleaning needle insersion tool.
