Tfs!! This totally made sense😃 you explained it very well. Now I now I know .. what to look for.
Some good things to remember here; thank you!
Thank you your tutorial was very helpful!
You are a lady and a scholar, thank you.
Thanks. You explain it very well.
Thank you thank you thank you.....you have helped me understand easily :-)
Thank you, this really helped. you should see the horrible DVD that came with mine haha. Really appreciate the video!
thank you!
That was very helpful. Off the subject but what thread material should i use and needle size to sew nylon. Taking in parachute pants to make less baggy.
Thanks :)
So the thicker the fabric the more tension I gather?
Thanks for the video very cool!!!
Hi folks from TheHikingFool thank you too for sharing this video tutorial with online viewers like me; thread tension problem ting is alot clearer to me now; I say this becuz I was taught thread tension problems when I had done sewing classess but I did never fully understand it until now; so thanks again for sharing this.; becuz I had those same exact problems when I was working on a project which I had to stop becuz of the thread tension to loose/ to tight. My sewing machine thread tension dial usually works within 5-6 but in doing a project today I had to set it at 9 for a gud balance out stitch. One query should I leave it on that setting or should I try different thread tension settings on projects I do with the different materials. Look forward to your response soon.
Hi Kimberley, Thanks for your kind words. To answer your question, I would recommend to put the tension back where it was, near the middle, once that project is complete. Unless you are dealing with very thick or unusual material, a middle setting suffices. You can start in the middle, and check the stitches on a new fabric, and then adjust if needed. If you find that a setting near the middle does not usually work for most fabrics, and you're always working at "9" even for normal fabrics, you may want to have your machine tuned-up!
Thank you.
+ssmouse77 You're welcome!
Thanks for the informative video. I wanted to ask that there are 2 tensions here; the needle thread tension and the bobbin thread tension. So in your examples which thread tension is loose or tight? I am just a confused beginner using a Consew 230.
Hi Simon; I'm probably not the person whom you expect to reply to your question; but I thought I can share abit my knowledge with you.
In the example she gives the stitch in the middle is when the tension is too loose (meaning it will look broken on the
right side & non broken on the other side (ws); whereas the final stitch she did the tension was too tight(meaning you would see a non broken line on the rs/top of the fabric. Hope I've helped here somewhat.
One tip or advice: A correct stitch is when they's a broken line on the top & bottom of the fabric. Tfs
I changed surface tension from minimum to maximum....but still I'm getting loop in back thread....pls say how to rectify
I have a drop-in bobbin and sometimes nothing works unless I pull out the bobbin
holder and mess with it. But I don't know how to adjust the bottom tension, I just try different things until it looks OK. On my Brother I have continual problems with my tension messing up very often and adjusting the top tension doesn't fix it. I really don't know what to do about it.
I agree. Take your machine to a professional to have the tension adjusted properly. UNLESS you know what you are doing, you will waste your time and cause more problems. AND it may not be the tension after all, it could be a worn out belt. Let the professional do his job, and enjoy sewing your projects.
Does the fabric used play a role in the stitch being too loose or too tight?
Because my issue is that when i try to sew, it looks okay with my test fabric but went totally wrong with my actual project fabric..
Yes, the fabric does effect the tension set. It's best if you can set the tension on a scrap piece of the fabric you plan to use
What did you use to thread your needle. Very nice.
It's just a little wire needle-threader which attaches to the machine. Many machines come with these now, but older machines not so much. You can get a hand needle-threader at any sewing store, and you'd have to just pick it up instead of having it attached to the machine. They are all just a little wire in the shape of a hook or a loop. You push the wire through the eye of the needle, and then put your thread on the hook or through the loop, depending on what type you have.
