Yeah!. My mistake with the nos. It is 30,30,30. But the columns that I am
sewing are 7pt, 9 pt , 18 pt being the highest in this one. It consistently
seems to slide to one side, causing bobbin thread to show up on the front.
I am ok with tightening the bobbin thread a little, but tightening it so
tight that it does not drop is completely against what I have learnt and
applied so far. MT being 7 for a easy care shirt, it frightens me since I
worry it will cause holes or so in the garment.

For as long as I have been doing embroidery it has been 1/3,
1/3, 1/3. For narrow satin stitches (columns of 3mm or less) you may want to
run a little tighter bobbin tension, showing less than 1/3 on the back.

Hello All,
I wanted to check with you to see if anyone has the same problem as me.
When I do small lettering, my bobbin thread seems to slide off to the
left. (In class we learnt, it should be 30,60,30 with the bobbin thread in
the middle.) This some times causes the bobbin thread to show up on the
front of the design causing dandruff. The tech checked it and said
everything looks fine with regards to the bobbin positioning and so on.
But every time I do small lettering, I see the dandruff. I was sewing out
the easy care shirt maroon color and the white thread showed up so clearly.
The tech suggested that I tighten the bobbin completely and increase the
material thickness to counter that and it would solve the problem. (For a
easy care shirt, the MT was 7). To me, this was not a solution, but a work
around.
Do any of you have this problem? How did you solve it or do you just live
with it.
I would be interested to hear what you all have to say.
