Proper balance is achieved when bobbin thread covers 1/3 to 1/2 of column stitching on the back side of embroidery. To test, sew out the letter I. Remove the hoop and inspect the thread patterns on the back side of the material. Compare the stitching with the examples below. If the thread pattern looks like (B) or (C), adjust your tensioners as described above and resew the letter I. Set the other needles on your machine with the same procedure. If, after following these guidelines, you still experience difficulty in achieving good quality embroidery with our designs, please give us a call or send us a new sew-out. We will be happy to help you overcome any problems.
