Thread tension is such an important issue but is commonly misunderstood, so that’s why I include it in my Beginners Sewing classes. But it does help to get the thread between the discs when you have the foot up as you thread the machine. That’s why you get lots of loops when you try to sew with the presser foot up. When your presser foot is up, the tension discs are open and there is no tension on the top thread. If it doesn’t, then the machine won’t be able to sew properly. So make sure the thread sits correctly between the tension discs when you’re threading your machine. Top thread tension is controlled by a dial on the machine’s thread path. The less thread, then the tighter the stitch. The more thread in the stitch, then the looser the stitch. By thread tension, we mean the amount of thread that can pass through the machine to create the stitch. Probably the most common sewing problem is getting correct sewing machine tension.
