Can’t fix tension on Sweet Sixteen
I can’t get the tread tension right on my Sweet 16. I’m using red thread on bottom & cream on top. The red shoes on top or the cream loops on the bottom. I’ve replaced needle sizes. Made sure needle is positioned properly. Rethreaded top and bobbin repeatedly. Using Omni thread in top & bobbin. I adjusted the bobbin case both manually and with the TOWA bobbin gage. I’ve adjusted the top tension. There’s no lint in bobbin area. I’m about to pull my hair out!!

MarionS,
I am sorry but you are going to have problems with this thread combination. This is a very high contrast of thread, even if your tension is perfectly balanced and the stitch is in the middle, like it should be, you will probably still see the thread through the hole the needle has made.
If you have looping then you need to tighten the top tension slightly. Please call our Education Department at 1-877-697-8458, M-F, 9-5 MST. We would love to help you.
