This spring is controlled by a dial (or a computer with computerized machines). In most cases, two metal discs on the top of the sewing machine control top thread tension.Īlso, a spring regulates the pressure on the thread on one side of the metal discs. Sewing tension issues, because they are caused by an imbalance between the pressure on the two pieces of thread, can be caused by inappropriate top or bottom thread tension. Too low of top thread tension (or too high of the bottom) means too much thread is drawn into the stitch, causing a loose stitch and the presence of the top thread on the bottom of the fabric. Too much tension on the top thread (or too little on the bottom) means not enough top thread gets into the stitch, causing puckering and the bobbin thread to show on the top of the fabric. The stitches should look the same on the top and bottom of the fabric, and the knot should be hidden within the fabric. Two threads form every stitch: the top thread, which goes through the needle, and the bottom thread, which is from the bobbin.Ī perfect stitch depends on the balance between the two sources of tension on the stitch (as well as other factors.) Ideally, the top thread and bobbin thread are drawn equally into the fabric, forming a link in the middle of the fabric layers. Sewing machine tension, or stitch tension, is the pressure on the threads as they pass through the sewing machine.
