Just learning my machine, why does bobbin fill show through on some designs and not others? And also showing through on light weight fabric and not on heavier fabric, all advice appreciated!!

Usually the upper tension is to tight with bobbin thread comes through to top. I would look at my manual that should have come with your machine before I change anything though. It could b the thread you r using on the bobbin it could b the needle. I do not kbnow what machine U have, tell us & someone with the same machine may can help U out. It may not b properly threaded, there r quite a few maybes here. we need to know what your machine is though *4U

A friend suggested the type of bobbin thread as well. Needle size, does that depend on the weight of the fabric, such as small size needle for light weight fabric? Thanks for your suggestions

Good question. *4u I would experiment with my upper tension in small adjustments. That's assuming that it is threaded right and all else is okay. Good luck.

Ok, yep my machine is threaded right. And I have a Janome 300E. I have tried adjusting the upper tension, and all is says in the manual, is how to loosen the tension. So,is there an average tension for this machine and then its adjusted accordingly, is that correct?

I have a 300E.The best setting is on 2. If you are using a darker thread try setting on 1.5, but no lower. You might have to use matching thread. Always use at least 2 layers of tear away stabilizer and a Janome blue tipped 11 needle for your normal embroidery designs. Use only good quality threads like RA, Madeira or Coats and use Coats bobbin fill.
DO NOT TOUCH THE TENSION SCREW IN YOUR BOBBIN CASE.

Thanks Ricky, and does the weight of the stabilizer matter as well? I should have asked a while ago, its really amazing how helpful everyone is on this site, I glad my friend introduced me, thanks alot everyone!!
Not much. I have used both the thinner and the thicker, two way tear away, and found that it is best two use two layers.
You can always slip the second layer underneath the hoop if it is too thick. Mind you, it does depend on the design and if it is well digitized you may get away with using just one layer of the thick stabilizers. I like to play it save and always use two, and never had a problem.
I have seen some of Sue Box stitch outs and they all have a minimum of two layers of thin stabilizers and in some cases even three. And, if you are familiar with her designs, they are brilliant and stitch out famously.
I digitize my own designs and have found that my digitizer, Janome Digitizer Pro, always recommends two layers.

just talking about you, your ears must have been burning
Thank you so much for all of adivce Ricky. And yes, I am familar with Sue Box and yes I'll agree with you she has some brillant designs. I'll try the 2 layers and see what the difference is. Have a nice day, thanks

Most of the time it will be the tension adjustment it could also be the stabilizer but in must cases I have fixed this kind of problems by lowering the tension. * Hope you figure it out

One other thing I forgot to tell you is that if you are stitching lettering or outlines, slow your machine down to 400. If you are stitching medium sized fills speed it up to 500 and larger areas you can go to 650. This has been recommended to me by my dealer and works fine for me. No problems.

When you click on "stabilizer" under popular topics to the left you'll find a post by jrob that tells all about stabilizer choice for different fabrics. I found it very useful. She had posted it last year and I asked her for a repeat. I look up the link. Hope that is as helpful to you as it has been for me.
