So there i was piecing my quilt top together and then THIS happens
[ATTACH=CONFIG]467720[/ATTACH] it looks perfectly fine from the top but underneath is a HUGE mess! I TOUCHED nothing on my machine! I pulled the plate off and looked all under there to see what was up but it was normal conditions. I tried fooling around with my stitch settings and nothing helps. I checked the tension and nothing going on there. I have a Brother SE400. Can anybody help me? I know somebody around here has the answer! You all are so great! Thanks! |
I have had this happen. And I rip it all out because its a mess and I don't know if it will hold up. I don't know what causes this, but my solution has been to just start over. My experience is that it takes less time to start over than to fight with it. I unthread the machine and wind a new bobbin and then rethread and then it works fine. I will be interested to see what others say

Re thread your machine, or the bobbin wasn't set in properly.
peace |
That happens to me when there is lint built-up. Suggest cleaning your machine.
|
I have had this happen too. I shut off the machine, rethread the top and also take out the bobbin and replace. It just occurs now and then....but doing this always fixes it.
|
I get that when I forget to thread my bobbin in the machine properly. Re-thread your machine and check if your bobbin and top tensions are roughly equal and with no catches.
|
It's the top tension. Re thread, making sure that your thread is going thru the tension disks. Take out your manual for a refresher to make sure your thread path is correct.
The other thing that will cause this is not putting your presser foot down. Ask me how I know this...:) |
Gremlins.. who knows why but your bobbin had a wild day.. Rethread your bobbin in the machine..
|
Rethreading should help--I've seen this myself! :)
|
Same thing happened to mine. The bobbin thread slipped out and was all over the place. I pulled the bobbin casing out and got a magnifying glass. Tiniest piece of lint caught. Cleaned it up and the tension was off. Went to my sisters house and her DGD (quilter in training) same thing with theirs. 4 machines with same problem. Also FW same problem. Needed cleaning and bobbin casing had teeny little pieces of lint missed. I had fun on that FW. Also presser foot needed to be all the way down.
