I tried searching for a previous topic on this, but I am not sure what kind of key words to use.
I was FMQ and moving along just fine, and then my bobbin ran out. I changed it, then KLUNK then the bobbin thread gets tangled. Okey dokey, I stop, untangle, check the bobbin and it looks ok. I look at the back of the quilt, and the stitching looks good for a few inches and then my back side of stitching has a loose loop every 8 stitches or so. I rethreaded, and it does it again. I rethreaded, cleaned the bobbin casing, set up, and again, the same thing. Hmmm. I walked away before I got upset. Tomorrow I will try using a different bobbin. Anyone else have an idea? |
Change your needle, and see if that helps

completely re-thread your machine ...I've done that to correct loopies
|
Is your presser foot up when you are re-threading? If it isn't it will start looping-found this out the hard way.

Its just very frustrating to have everything goding great and then suddenly its messed up. |
Yep rethread the whole machine. Someone here posted that bottom thread problems are because of a top thread issue.
Good Luck !! |
I sometimes don't realize it is down. With my FMQ foot it looks the same. I called my machine shop the other day out of frustration and they told me what I did wrong.

When this happened with my machine there was a wooly booger under my bobbin race. Once I cleaned that out, the machine runs like a charm. Hope you find your problem and get it fixed quickly!!

Bet you left the pressure foot down when you re-threaded and your upper thread isn't in your tension discs. Re-thread like you would when you are doing regular stitching and I bet your problems will go away..... ask me how I know this one :oops: :oops: :roll: :roll:
