Under thread

Bobbin thread. In embroidery, tensions are not adjusted evenly as for construction sewing. Both bobbin thread and top thread will be seen on the back side of the embroidery; bobbin thread should not be seen on the top. Standard embroidery is done with a lock stitch, which requires both an upper and a lower thread. The under thread locks the top thread of the embroidery.

Embroidery Tip

  • Test sewing not only verifies the design, it can determine if your machine tensions set properly, thread colors work with the design and the fabric, the stabilizers are appropriate, the needle is the correct one for the thread and fabric, and that the correct design transferred properly to the machine.
