Abstract
The perfect interlacing of needle and bobbin thread in the stitch formation process and seam appearance depends first of all on correct pre‐tension of the tension regulator. Changes in the pre‐tension settings also have a direct influence on the tensile force during the sewing process. This contribution presents the influence of pre‐tension in a defined area on the tensile force in important phases of the stitch formation process. In addition the influence of the stitch velocity on tensile force was investigated. On the basis of statistic analysis it was ascertained in which pre‐tension area and stitch velocity the significant differences between tensile forces occurred.
