On my embroidery machine, the bobbin thread is showing more on the edges of the design than the colored thread itself. Is this just an adjustment? I have a Viking Ruby Deluxe

Why is my bobbin thread more prominent on my design than the color of the thread. I am embroidering "green" and the edges are white with white bobbin thread. Is this just an adjustment on the Machine?

Yes just lower your upper tension until the white disappears.

For embroidery, and zig-zag, and because the needle makes side movements, it needs more needle thread.
So try to keep you needle thread not very tight,
and tight up your bobbin case tension more, so that the two threads meet under the meterial.

SOURCE: Designer 1: upper thread shredding while embroidering

I too, have the same problem withmy Designer 1. I just bought ISACORD brand polyester embroidery thread to hopefully solve this problem, but I believe it must be a tension problem. I have a "date" with the repair lady on Friday (11/22/08) and if it gets repaired I will re-post what the problem was. Still love the machine WHEN IT SEWS!!

I have had the same problem. I always just used the same color of bobbin thread as on the top. It is a pain to change inbetween each block, but the designs usually look perfect. I will have to try playing with the tension.

You are not getting bobbin tension somehow. Either not threaded correctly in the assembly or it needs to be adjusted tighter.

Refer to your machine for cleaning the bobbin area.

You will need to clean this area often as lint and thread snips can build up can cause the bobbin feed to malfunction.

If this continues after you have cleaned the machine, the timing may need to be adjusted by a sewing machine tech.

I have a brother 770pe and the bobbin color is white and the thread color is green, but the embroidery comes out white. What do I do?

The surface of the embroidery is often a combination of the two threads. The bobbin thread is intertwined with the top spool thread to make the design. Easy fix: make sure the bobbin thread is the same color as the top spool thread.

My brother pe770 is allowing bobbin thread to show on top sporadically which makes the stitching look like it is speckled with white. I have adjusted tension..cleaned and changed everything.

Shelia,

when sewing these parts of the design, (small stitches? ) load your bobbin with the same top thread. Just match the top thread color, and done! No more white bobbin thread in the topside of your designs.

Cheers,

Loosen the top tension a little or tighten the bobbin tension ever so slightly. If that fails you can always color the bobbin threads with a magic marker the same color as the embroidery thread. You might go to Superior Thread's web site and try some prewound bobbins. They are worth their weight in gold. Dr. Bob knows all about all kinds of thread and is very good about answering questions. I think some of his Thread University videos are available too.

It sounds as though maybe the bobbin thread is not "clicked" into the tension slot correctly. You need to be sure it goes into the slot and you can hear/feel it seat itself in there. As a last resort, you can tighten the bobbin tension. Take the bobbin case out. On the side there is a recessed screw. If you think of it as a clock, turn the screw in no greater than 5 minute increments - to the right to tighten, to the left to loosen.

Is your machine sewing regular stitching (i.e. not embroidery, hoop off) okay or is the bobbin thread not right for that either? Next time you have your machine serviced, be sure to take in your embroidery unit too so the technician can set it up to be good for both ordinary sewing and for embroidery. I actually have a second bobbin case that I adjust if necessary for whatever project I'm working on that needs anything other than "default" setting for the bobbin. Thay way, I'm not messing about with the bobbin that has been set correctly by the technician but you can easily adjust your bobbin if it needs it. Just remember to put it back to "normal" when you are done.

With the embroidering, some of the bobbin thread is SUPPOSED to show on the top of your embroidery-the machine isn't doing anything incorrectly. You'll need to thread your bobbin with the same thread as you are using with the top. I had the same "problem" when I first got the machine and took it to a wonderful local technician whose helped me with a lot of things who informed me that this is perfectly normal on embroidery machines.

Embroidery Problem with my disney

Check your bobbin case. Thread the bobbin through your bobbin case while holding it in your left hand. Pull the thread with your right hand and feel if there is any resistance. If not, you need to adjust the tension on the bobbincase. Also check if a piece of thread or fluff did not get stuck between the tension blades on the bobbin case. If you are not sure how to adjust the tension on the bobbin case, ask your dealer to do it.

Machine embroidery

You should always use proper Bobbin Thread for embroidery - not a bobbin wound from regular dressmaking thread. You are right, the special bobbin thread is thinner so that the embroidery thread will be pulled to the underside and you get a nice shiny embroidery on top with no bobbin showing through. Wind yourself 6 or more bobbins at a time of bobbin thread to always have some on hand, or buy the pre-wound L size ones.
All embroidery machines - no matter what brand - recommend using bobbin thread for embroidery. It is readily available at all sewing stores, probably even Spotlight would carry some. If you get stuck for a supply, try overlocker thread.
