Thank you SOOOO much! I knew it was bobbin tension but was afraid to touch it because they had some sort of green plastic on it. I scraped it off, adjusted it and viola! :D

Thank you so much for this quick fix I have been struggling with this issue on my Brother SE400 for a few years. Problem solved with a turn of the screw on the bobbin!

[@ascensionlutheran3801]

Thank you! This worked, tightening the bobbin thread. Lifesaver! (Embroidery-project saver!)

“Quick Tip: Tension Troubles (Bobbin Shows on Top)” I find that when I have a problem with the bobbin thread coming to the top there is a good chance that under the spring on the bobbin case trash has collected under it, gently use a Straight pin and open it up and blow on it to clear it. Lint gets under there and causes you trouble. I find when I do this it clears the tension problem up. Don't have to reajust tension up or down. Hope this helps, enjoy your tips.Thank you JD

Your tip is also really good! However, my machine was brand new doing this, so both tips are quite helpful.

Thank you for the much needed tip 🇧🇴

Thank you so much. I have adjusted but still having issues with the bobbin thread coming through. I am new to embroidery so have a lot to learn. Does the stabilizer or the material I am using have anything to do with the bobbin thread showing (mainly on the right hand side of the design)? I have a Janome machine and have adjusted the bobbin tension as well as the thread tension and the bobbin s still showing through.

Hello! I'm sorry you're having tension issues still! If you're still experiencing issues after adjusting the tension, I would try contacting your dealer for further help. You can also get in touch with our customer service team at [e-mail].

1/2 turn did the trick on the bobbin case
Was seeing the bottom thread, not anymore

[@GondolaGamingVT]

Started having this issue when I swapped to a different brand of bobbin with my PE800, the screw seemed to fix it.
