![Sewing Machine Tension Explained (Finally, Properly)
I finally break down Sewing Machine Tension. Tension issues are the #1 reason people think theyre bad at sewing, when really nobody ever actually explained whats happening inside the machine. In this video, Im breaking down exactly how upper and lower tension work together, how to spot the difference between a tension problem and literally everything else that looks like one (needle, thread, bobbin winding, fabric weight), and how to actually fix it instead of randomly turning the dial and hoping.
By the end of this youll be able to diagnose tension issues on sight, on any machine, for good.
