Quilting help
 
2 Attachment(s)
I need some help. I trying to finish up quilting my husbands quilt. Well I have about 80% quilted okay. Well my machine started to mess up. This is what it's doing. I have changed the needle and messed with the tension and no change. I am not understanding why it's doing this. I am getting these single loops now.

Rethread your entire machine, take the bobbin out, put it back, clean it out while you are there, and see if that will work.

I agree with TexasSunshine.

Also, turn it off, wait a couple of minutes, and then turn back on.

I will try that.

I found that if you've tried everything else, rethread, new needle etc, and the bobbin thread is peaking through on the top, you can tighten the bobbin case just a tad and see if that works. I have an Esante ese2 and it is a pain to set up for free motion. I can't take the stitch length down to 0, and it was never right . I did go to the zig-zag, took it down to 0 and length to 0 and it works better. go figure

It's all clean. Retreaded changed needle still doing the same thing. I am gonna change the bobbin go a size smaller on needle ( which I should have to since th last three quilts works great with that size) Hopefully that works

Have you recently broken a needle. The reason I am asking is when I started having problems FMQ a broken needle tip was in the bobbin case and made a slight burr in the CHook and had to be buffed out. That was on a Bernina. Now when I break a needle I search and make sure not the tiniest piece is hidden.

I think maybe you are moving the machine or your hands a little too fast and it's not letting your stitches form the way they should.

Didn't break a needle bent it really bad. I thought I was going too fast too. So I slowed down still getting the same problem. Waiting for baby Taylor to go to bed then I can mess with it more and change that bobbin.
