Veena,
I think the column width has more to do with the bobbin showing on front
than your bobbin tension or MT. On columns less than 10 pts wide the
needle can fall into the same hole.

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.
