Birds nest problem
I am hoping someone can help with this one.
I have a Brother 6000D - love it!
When I've been stitching out a design, somewhere along the line I get a whopping birds nest around the bobbin. I asked at the LQS and the lady there said if it is happening underneath, it's an upper thread problem. She also suggested that when I am doing thread changes I may not be insuring the thread is going through the uptake lever.
OK, checked it and I am threading correctly.
What I have noticed is it seems to happen with satin stitch, and of course it waits until I am nearly finished with a project.
I have been working on little stocking ornaments and the final satin stitch around the perimeter is getting nested, so I have had to throw everyone away since I have to cut it out of the machine!
Today, I was working on a star and it happened again on the satin stitch.
Checking the thread and it is still in the uptake lever.
I have tried doing a quilt in the hoop and of course at the end of the stitchout, it did it again. This time on a stipple stitch.
I am concerned since I am starting a project of a quilt in the hoop from hoopsisters, and I really don't want to ruin a batch of expensive fabric.
Suggestions, anyone?
Pictures below, and I'll apologize ahead for the blurry one.
Thanks,
Jane
