When you thread your machine, the thread passes between tension discs, which are like little clamps that squeeze the thread with just the right amount of pressure. As you sew, these discs grip and control how freely the thread flows. That tension—combined with the bobbin thread—creates balanced stitches as the two threads interlock in the f

As the needle moves down, it pierces the fabric and loops around the bobbin thread.
