Need help with my sewing machine . . Oh, no
A quick fix for lint in the tension apparatus -- sew a chain on your serger and use the chain to run around the tension apparatus -- that will clean out almost anything and won't harm your sewing machine!
My son who worked on commercial and regular sewing machines is going to look at this in a minute and tell you what he thinks! My son says that it's one of a couple of things -- lint between the disks in the tension apparatus which can be cleaned by using a chain sewn on a serger and running it through the apparatus all the way around. The other thing, get your instruction book and very carefully make certain that the machine is threaded correctly -- also make certain you haven't bypassed the tension spring or that the spring hasn't become dislodged -- Check your book. Also, check the bobbin and make sure the bobbin is correctly threaded as well. If this doesn't help, send me a message along with a picture of your machine so he can check that out. He has frequently helped my cousin over the phone with her quilting machine.
Hope it works! Please let us know!
