Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My Singer Superb just came out of hiding for the last two years. She has been cleaned and oiled. I keep having issues with the tension resulting in a very messy bottom stitch. I have double checked that my threading is correct, and have adjusted the tension tighter and looser with not perfect results. I would post a picture but I am on the site on my phone and don't know how to. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Okay, try a new bobbin. Sometimes the bobbin doesn't feed right. And check to make sure that there might be a piece of thread in the bobbin area around where it is fed. And try a different thread, some machines don't like some threads.
Best I can do.

Also double check that the needle is in correctly

Needle is in correct and I am using my go-to thread, which is Dual Duty all purpose thread. Never had an issue before with it. I will try a new bobbin and see if that helps.
Wound a new bobbin and now I'm right back where I started with a very messing bottom thread. This is so frustrating. I have a limited amount of time to work on 3 baby quilts and it figures that my machine is going to give me problems.
Sounds like your upper thread is not in the tension disc or is out of the take up bar.

I bought a Bernina Activa 230. I used it for several years and started to have tension problems. I took it in to my dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. She told me not to use Coats and Clark's anymore and use Sulky or some more expensive brand. That did the trick. Maybe try a more expensive thread.
How do I add pictures while on the site on my phone?
I don't think you can add them from the phone - at least I haven't found a way yet. I hope you figure out your tension issue!!Originally Posted by blzzrdqueen

Are you sure it is the bottom thread with the problem? If you have issues on the underneath, it is sometimes the top thread tension causing the problem. If you are sure it is really the bottom thread, have you checked the tension on the bobbin?
