Omgosh...thank you so much!! This was such a great learning experience for me. Just got my Brother embroidery machine & I'm totally clueless, but been learning off of RUclips because of everyone's experiences. Again, your advice & tutorial has been a lifesaver & game changer for me. Now, I can cut my time in half!! YES!! Finally!! Been looking around for over a week. Again, thank you so much!!
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
I SO-O-O needed this video-after stitching out a design almost perfectly, all of a sudden there were tension problems on the second and third attempts. Your tutorial is spot on and fantastic, easy-to-understand info! THANK YOU!
So if you increase the top tension you will have less top thread on the back? I have all top thread on the back and cannot see my bobbin thread. Thank you so much i have watched many of your videos and you taught me a lot!
Perfect timing with this video! I just got a Brother SE1900 and I am glad to know what the percentage of showing threads should be on the bottom. My machine works fine according to your tip. Have a great day!
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!!
Woooohoooo! Congrats on your new machine and awesome job sticking with the project and seeing it thru! I appreciate you taking the time to watch our video and leave a comment!
Perfect timing! Just purchased the BrotherXAEA12900-1529-3246a7y2dor5q-11 and i was having what i guessed to be tension issues. Gonna try it on 3 with gold and red. Keep up the good work !
Thank you :) I got an embroidery machine in november and felt like giving up I have been having so many issues! I'll give this a go today and see if it helps :)
Thanks for the information.I just brought my brother embroidery machine so I'm just learning new things. IM definitely going to subscribe and watch all your videos lol
I NEEDED this video thank you!! When embroidering something thicker such as a sweatshirt, would the tension needed change or differ? Im new to this and I keep getting tangles that ruin my project on the bobbin side! im looking for any advice to help!!
I am very happy that you did NOT give up! These machines are finicky and they like what they like. If the tension is off, there could be several reasons why. Thank you for letting me know the video helped you!
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.
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!
This was insanely helpful thank you so much!! I’ve been having so many issues and this has by far been the most helpful video i’ve watched thank you for posting :)
Thank you Jennifer! I try to be sure that everyone can understand the tutorials since it's such a delicate process. I and my contacts lenses thank you!
Hi, this video really helped me. I use the PE800 and there 2 tension options, one is called “Embroidery tension”, and the other one is just “Tension”. What is the difference between the 2 ?
Thanks for this video! I had a frustrating day today and now I will do some tests. Have you done videos about different types of fabric and changing the tension?
Okay - Wow! Thank you! I love you! You are an amazing teacher. I love the way you demonstrated how to adjust top tension on an embroidery machine. Also, I love the way you edited your video with the graphics.
i know im asking randomly but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Finn Zayne i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Hi I got so much information your video , I want to ask you a question I have so much problem with nesting on back of my embroidery fabric . I have changed needle, rethread bobbin & embroidery top thread . I have cleaned my machine in the below the bobbin case . I have changed the tension to loose and tighten it up . I still have to thread below my fabric. I want to know if you have any more tips please I would appreciate your help. Thank you LB

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 🤷🏽♀️
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.
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 RUclips!!
Thanks so much! I know you had this on another video...of course I wasn't having problems then.😣 I will run this check as I've cleaned out the bobbin case, etc. already. Thanks again for all your great advice!😉👍🏻
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. .
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.
Haha! Didn't know about that one. I usually just do whatever tension works, trial and error, now I know that there's supposed to be a good ratio of whatever on the damn thing. Does the tension need to differn depending on the fabric or cloth?
This was such a good video and explanation. I’m still a bit confused as when I change the tension on my machine, the bobbin thread hardly even shows up on the back despite what setting it’s on 😞
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.
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 ...
Have you tried the 5 quarter bobbin technique? Mr. Vince J.Arcuri on RUclips has a tutorial. :). Another technique for the arsenal. Thank you! I love how neat your room looks. Lovely.

Hello! I have a brother se1900 and my needle keeps breaking. A few times it just fell out. I tighten the needle per the instructions so I’m wondering if the tension is the cause of the problems with my needle. I read the instructions and followed them but I still have the issue of needles breaking or just falling out. Thanks in advance for the help!
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.
Hi ma'am. Thank you so much for the very good video and I have a question. Do you change the bobbin thread sometimes.? I have been having trouble with my PE-770, I use #90 and #60 in white all the time and sometimes a lot will show at the top, do I need to adjust the tension .. Thank you much.
This video was so helpful! I was wondering why my "machine wouldn't work," but after watching your video I figured it out. Now I know how to test my tension... I used the lower case letter l, what I great idea!! :) Thanks so much! ~Simone
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.
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😅
Thanks for the video! I love them all. Question about your test fabric, what is it and how have you prepared it for the hoop? Are you using any stabilizers under it?
Hi really enjoyed your video. I was wondering if you could help me with one of my problems. When I embroid a stock design (or any design for that matter), the tension for the first thread will be fine however after I changed the thread it becomes looser and looser until it jams. Do you know what could be causing this or how to fix it. I have had this machine (Brother PE540D) for two years and never got a full design out of it. PLEASE HELP!
It is not easy to troubleshoot just from a description, but there are several things that can cause issues and you'll need to try them one at a time: 1. change to a new needle. 2. Be sure your top thread is threaded correctly. 3. Be sure your bobbin thread is inserted in the right direction! ( #2 & #3 refer to your manual for directions) 4. Be sure your project is hooped correctly. It needs to be taut and have the proper stabilizer. 5. Try a different spool of thread... that should be listed after #1... Try these things and see if it helps.
@@TheBabysBooty thank you soooo much I'm going to try these options hopefully one or all will work thanks again for getting back to me have a lovely day 😀
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?
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!
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?
Hi I’m having issues with my pe900 when it’s sewing my shirt starts to get sucked in and when I look under I see that it’s bunched ball of thread which then makes a hole in my shirt please help
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☹
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.
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!
I had only theorized that my thread tension was too tight, but this just helped me identify and confirm it. Big help! thanks a lot.
You are very welcome!
I love your teaching method!

Thank You Very Mach .!!! You the best !!!
🤗 Thank you! I am happy to have been of help!
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?
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!
Awesome tutorial! Thank you!!
Thank you! This helped me a lot. :)
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?
I have an innovis 750e and just in the past day or so the needle is juddering and stops - what is wrong please can you help!
This was so helpful thank you for sharing :)
Lifesaver! This is a great video!

Hi I’m having issues with my pe900 when it’s sewing my shirt starts to get sucked in and when I look under I see that it’s bunched ball of thread which then makes a hole in my shirt please help
thanks
Hi what machine is this please?
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☹
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.
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!
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
Thank you Eve!
