Re thread top & bottom, then check your top tension. if not the problem try changing the bobbin tension.
What kind of thread are you using. change to see if that helps |

Make sure your needle is in the correct way.

Have you changed your needle? Mine was doing the same thing and I did everything that I knew to do and it still did it, so I got my manuel out and it was my needle, I had the wrong size needle in my machine, never knew that it took a special needle, so check your needle size, maybe thats it. Who would ever think about a special size needle. LOL Hope you get it fixed. Have a great day.

first and foremost--> CHANGE THE NEEDLE!! My machine man tells me this will solve 80% of the problems.

Sometimes I use a mesh thread holder over the spool and that really helps with curly thread. Also to use the thread on a stand I have been known to use a heavy metal washer on top of spool. those are two things I have had to do to use the thread when it was just to curly. I think it got wound so tight that it just couldn't relax, but with a little tension on the thread it comes off straight.
Good Luck Suzy |
Be sure your bobbin thread is threaded from the bobbin correctly. Some self winding bobbins thread right to left and some left to right. Most bobbin cases need to have the bobbin unwinding counterclock wise inside the case. I about went nuts trying to figure out why my bobbin thread was looking like a solid piece of thread after sewing. My bobbin was in the bobbin case unwinding in the wrong direction and kept slipping out of the thread slot in the case.
