Anastasia every time I use it I have to adjust my tension, that makes it much easier. It usually has a tendency to shread and if that's what it's doing loosen the upper and bobbin tension, if it's loopy tighten them up. Doesn't take very much on the bobbin either. Easy if you just mark your bobbin with a little line from the black marker so you can set it back again. Maybe this will help, unless you're almost done with it.
