(Since I don't have a crow bar - or if we do, I have no idea where it is- they don't know it would never happen.) |
So familiar! In my case, the thread sometimes would slip off the little arm that raises and lowers the needle. "OH, POOP!" when it happens!
|
I hope I don't jinx myself, but that's never happened while quilting. It DOES however, happen periodically when I am piecing. There seems no rhyme or reason for it. I use a little Janome to piece and I never have to mess with the little tension thingy. I have to rip it all out, rethread the machine and practice on some crumbs to make sure it's fixed before I keep going again.
What a pain in the neck. |
I have had this happen on the bobbin side if I forget to lower the presser foot. My Pfaff has a button to give less pressure that I use when machine quilting.
|
A fellow quilter told me to have a glass of wine before I start FMQ. It relaxes her and relieves tension from her shoulders . I have not tried FMQ yet and am frankly afraid I'll have the same kind of results!
|
I've seen this very sight before. Too bad it isn't acceptable sewing. But then it really doesn't hold very tightly.
|
If you just remember thread knarls on top - bobbin problem
Thread knarls on bottom---top threading problem |
Looks like something you might have if you didn't put your pressure foot down
|
I've ripped a few of those out too ... still, I love FMQ!! It is so worth the patience & effort! I think I have actually learned to "listen" to my machine now & can pretty much know if something is not stitching right. Most of the time, complete re-threading and/or cleaning out lint solves the problem.
|
Yes, it is maddening. Been there, done that.
|
Glad I'm not the only one this happens to. Makes me so mad when I think everything is going well and then you find this. UGHHHHHHH!!!!!! Seeing this reminds me I need to get a new ripper. LOL!!
|
Oh yeah!

Bless you! That is the kind of thing that could turn one's hair white. Oh, wait! Mine is white!
|
Makes you wonder, who is in control at times.
But it is who is patient and has the desire to win or should I say overcome the the evil one! Star Wars backflash. |

OH Boy, You have a partner for growling. I did that on one of my quilt blocks. At least I was lucky to catch it before I went too far and was able to correct it. My thread wasn't around the place it belonged. GRrrrrr on me the operator. LOL
For some reason I haven't turned white but getting so thin pulling it out I'm gonna need a wig soon. LOL |

I hate it when that happens.
|
OMG - I am sitting here laughing out loud.....you are all so funny. Bobbin vomit......
|
Not a very good place to put a nest. Good luck on the next try!
|
Happened to me too. Mine was threaded wrong somehow, all by itself !! LOL however, I have a machine that I had to stop using cause of the bobbin wasn't working properly. I got a new machine after fixing it a couple times. Very frustrating.
|
Makes me want to put off trying FMQ a little longer. Bobbin vomit...too funny!!!

I can't stop laughing, because it looks so familiar. The only thing that truly helped for me was buying another sewing machine. No amount of time every helped the next to the last machine. I threatened it within an inch of it's life and came so close to drop kicking it into the back yard.
