TTN tension, take up, needle.
Beginning with the spool, guide the thread through the thread guides to the tension assembly. Pull the thread through the tension assembly and test it to make sure the tension is working correctly.
(To do this test, adjust your tension setting to normal or medium or 5 or something in the middle. Raise the presser foot and pull the thread through the tension. It should pull easily!! Lower the presser foot and pull the thread. It should pull noticeably harder.) If it passes this test, continue up through the take up lever,then down through the thread guides to the needle. Make sure your needle is fully inserted and turned the correct way.( If you load your bobbin case from the left side,the needle rule is normally FLAT to the RIGHT is RIGHT. There are some exceptions. If you have a newer style drop in bobbin or your bobbin case loads in the front then the rule is FLAT to the BACK.

If it is creating a thread mess (thread nest) under the fabric, either the machine is not threaded correctly or you have forgotten to lower the presser foot before beginning to stitch.

Make sure you are starting with a brand new needle!

Remove all the thread from the machine.

Check that the bobbin thread is smoothly wound onto the bobbin and that the bobbin is inserted and thread properly in the machine.

ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread the upper thread. Check that the thread path is correct.

Set the upper tension to the midway point on the dial--this is usually the factory setting but may alter over time with use. Once you get your machine stitching without a mess, you can gently alter the upper tension until the two threads meet in the middle of the fabric.

Remember to lower the presser foot before beginning to stitch.

It also helps to pull the bobbin thread up to the top of the fabric and either wrapping both thread tails around a finger on the left hand or gently holding the thread tails between the left index finger and thumb. Then SLOWLY begin stitching.

How and Why to Bring up the Bobbin Thread

You can search the internet for:

YouTube + Make + Model

and hopefully you will find some helpful videos.

I have a Singer 3140, and I have misplaced the book. I need to adjust the tension so that the threads are balanced, but have forgotten the correct procedure.

Get some scrap of the fabric you'll use.

Remember this phrase. Loops on bottom top tension too loose. Loops on top... top tension too tight. (or bobbin tension too loose)

In your case you need to loosen the top tension until you start to see loops on the bottom... then tighten it slightly.


Here's a manual for future reference

I've borrowed an old elna machine and I used it fine a year ago, but this year I've forgotten how to thread it and how the bobbin threading works as well. Could you please help?

Go to www.sewusa.com and you can see threading of different machines. You can buy a manual from them also. You tube shows how to thread machines also. Good luck

I have forgotten how to thread it

Hello :

Here I'll tell you how to thread a sewing machine . Just let me know if that worked or not to provide another help .


  1. Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the handwheel toward you.
  2. Raise the presser foot. This will allow the thread to easily pass through the threading points and will prevent the machine needle from becoming unthreaded when you begin to stitch.
  3. Place a spool of thread on the spool pin located at the top of your sewing machine. If the spool pin runs horizontally, secure the spool of thread with the cap provided.
  4. Take hold of the thread end and pass it through the designated threading points on the top of the machine casing, then down toward the tension assembly. The tension assembly is located on the left side of the machine and controls the flow of thread.
  5. Take the thread under the tension assembly and back up through the next threading point at the top left of the machine. Make sure the thread has passed between two tension discs as well as the hook that may be attached to the left side of the tension dial.
  6. Push the thread end through the lever at the top left of the machine, if applicable, and down through the threading points at bottom left and above the needle.
  7. Thread the needle from the front or back of the needle. The threading direction will depend on your machine type.
  8. Pull a few inches of thread through the eye of the needle and pull the thread to your left.
  9. Insert a wound bobbin into the machine, if necessary, and close the throat plate. A few inches of bobbin thread should be pulled out to the right and sticking out from under the closed throat plate.
  10. Take hold of the thread that has been threaded through the machine needle.
  11. Rotate the hand wheel toward you until the needle disappears into the bobbin case.
  12. Keep holding on to the thread and move the hand wheel so the needle is once again at its highest position. As the needle rises, a loop of bobbin thread will come up as well.
  13. Pull the thread out toward your left to draw the bobbin thread loop further out of the bobbin case.
  14. Let the top thread go and pull the bobbin thread up until the end comes up. Pull the top and bottom threads under the presser foot and to the back and right of the machine.

Things You'll Need:
  • Spool Of Threads
  • Threaded Sewing Bobbins
  • Sewing Machine Needles
I hope that will help .

Don't forget to rate if that was useful please !

Threading a bernina serger

Here is a little jingle to remember as far as the order of threads to thread...
Upper looper, lower looper, left needle, right.
Usuall if you give numbers to the threads from left to right as 1,2,3,4 , you would thread it in the order of 3, 4, 2, 1 . Also when threading the loopers be sure the lower looper thread goes over the top of the upper looper thread as it goes out the back.
Hope this helps.
