Hello, Help with Top Thread getting caught in bobbin area!
Hi! I am a casual sewer but have found myself sewing more because of the pandemic and being stuck inside. Because of this, I have been using my 7 year old sewing machine more than I have in recent years. My machine is a Singer Athena. Recently, the top thread has been getting caught in the bobbin area. It then can't move the fabric forward and keeps sewing in place until it creates a terrible mess. Backstitching makes it so much worse. I have changed the bobbin, changed the top thread, changed the needle, re-threaded everything multiple times, taken the bobbin casing out and putting it back in, adjusted the tension and turned the machine on and off. I will try to attached an image here of where the thread is getting caught. Any ideas on how to fix this? Any advice would be truly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!!
