Tension on a sewing machine refers to how taught the cotton on a sewing machine is. If it is too tight then the thread might snap and if it's too loose then the stitches will be uneven.

What does the tension control on a sewing machine do?

The tension control on a sewing machine determines how tight or loose the thread in each individual stitch is. The top and bobbin thread tension is like a tug-of-war. If each side is pulling equally, you have perfect tension. Imperfect tension is evidenced by thread loops on the bottom if the top tension is too loose and the same on top if the bobbin tension is too loose.
