TENSION
Proper thread tension is necessary for quality embroidery. Improper thread tension will cause a number
of embroidery issues. For instance, tension that is too loose will cause threads to loop; and tension that
is too tight may cause frequent thread breaks.
Tension will depend on the complexity of your design; the fabric, thread and backing you’re using; and
even hooping.
Note: If your timing is off, contact a certied Ricoma
technician to walk you through the process.
Before making any tension adjustments, make sure your
machine is threaded correctly. Sometimes you may
encounter tension issues simply because your machine is
threaded improperly.
You can adjust the tension settings using the following:
• The spring lever
• The top tension knobs
• The bobbin case
If you’ve veried your machine is threaded correctly, start
by adjusting the check spring lever. See Figure 119.
