How do I fix thread tension problems on an embroidery machine?

First check that the upper thread and bobbin are correctly installed and that the thread path is clean. Bobbin tension should be checked according to the machine manufacturer's procedure before making large upper-tension changes. Make small adjustments and test-stitch after each change. Persistent tension problems can indicate a worn or contaminated tension assembly or another mechanical issue.
