HELP with sewing machine messing up!
I was sewing right along and noticed my top (upper) stitch was fine but the lower had almost a loopy design to it almost like a rounded zig-zag pattern. I did not touch any of the tensions. The only thing was re-loading the bobbin. I noticed that the thread may jump out of the tension adjusting spring. I have a Brother XL 3500 i. This is what I hate about sewing!!!
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Clean the bobbin area, rethread top and bottom, try a new needle (my Brother always played up when the needle needed changing) also make sure that your feeddogs are up and your presser foot is down. Hope it starts to behave itself, very frustrating when your machine is being naughty.

You had the topstitching thread in the bobbin? That is usually for heavy weight fabrics. That thread is too thick to have in the bobbin for regular sewing. With it being on the top you need a very thin thread in the bobbin at least a 50wt 2 ply.
