If you don't properly thread a sewing machine, a number of mistakes can occur:
- The machine can malfunction, causing stalls, tangles, and thread getting caught in wrong parts of the machine.
- The fabric won't be sewn properly together, if at all.
- The fabric can actually be ruined by thread that is improperly threaded.

∙ 13y agoIt is important that the tension on a sewing machine is correct because the tension is what regulates thread while it is sewing the stitches. If the tension is too tight for the fabric and thread, the thread will break. If the tension is too loose, the thread will ball up on the bottom of the fabric.

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.
