General Q&A
When you change the top thread, do you need to change the bobbin thread to the same kind of threat as well? Or can you just always use an all purpose thread in the baba? And that is a really good question win use so construction you should have the thread in the bob in and the top be the same. You'll get the most balanced tension that way for seems like seems and top stitching and so on, the only time I really switched to make them different is something like here where I had ah, bob, and fill in the bob in because I wanted the backside to be lighter and wait. And then the top side is the pretty thread, like, I don't have to put ray on in the bob and to do this construction for the maybe the all purpose is where you want them to be the same but decorative work. Usually it is something lighter in the bob and you don't put metallic thread in the bombing in the taliban top two. So with metallic yeah. Okay, that's. Great. Thank you very much. And we had a question from traveling stamps abo...
ut tension. How often do you need to adjust tension on at a sewing machine shop? Or today's machines ready to go out of the box or do they need tension adjustment right away?
