SuperB Thread

Proper tension ensures that designs are sharp, clean, and durable, while incorrect tension can lead to a variety of issues, including:

• Loopy stitches where thread bunches on the underside of the fabric.

• Thread breakage if the tension is too high.

• Uneven stitches and poor design quality.

• Puckering or pulling of the fabric.

Yes, it is possible and often necessary to adjust thread tensions when switching between different thread brands, including when using SuperB from Superpunch. The weight, material, and even the color of the thread can affect the tension needed for a proper sew-out. Superpunch is a brand name that includes SuperB thread, and even within the same brand, you may need to make minor adjustments. Most machines have both upper thread tension knobs (one for each needle) and a bobbin tension screw, and some even have an additional subtensioner.
