Slight variations will occur, depending on the fabric, backing, thread type and letter size. Bobbin Tension The middle row of I’s in the illustration above shows little bobbin Problem thread.

    When different problems show up on different letters, the problem is in the top tensions. Letters #1, #2 and #7 need the top tension loosened so the bobbin can pull more of the top thread to the back. Letters #3, #4 and #9 need the top tension tightened because there is too much of the top thread being pulled to the back.

    embroidery, causing the thread to loop on either the top side or the back side of the garment, possibly both. The monogram will look rough, and will not lie smoothly on the fabric. The bobbin tension on the back side of the garment will look very narrow. You may find it necessary to adjust the top tension to compensate for variances in material or thread.

    Adjusting the Bobbin Tension Turn the screw on the bobbin case clockwise to tighten bobbin tension. Turn the screw on the bobbin case counterclockwise to loosen the bobbin tension. Once the tensions have been adjusted for the type of thread you plan to use, only minor changes will be needed as the fabric, letter size, and alphabet style changes.

    Too much backing is just as bad as not enough. Use one piece of medium-weight backing or two pieces of light-weight backing as a general rule. Heavier fabrics generally have a tighter weave and will need less backing. Backing should be cut to completely fit in the hoop, not just as a strip to fit across the center of the hoop.

    Nylon Backing Nylon backing is used with many knits and stretch fabrics. Use nylon as a substitute for Softouch if the design is not worn against the skin. Hooping procedures for nylon are identical to those for Softouch backing. Backing Paper Backing paper is used beneath fabrics with a looped or rough texture, e.g., towels or canvas, and with garments that have a rubber lining, e.g., rain slickers or waterproof bags.
