How to fix your thread looping under the fabric

[@andytubesewing1953]

You have a great technique for getting your point across. I can tell you enjoy helping others and that is the best way for any business to operate. Congratulations and take care.

Thank you so much for your clear demonstration & advice how to fix our sewing machines.I loved the mention you gave to the Lord re Genesis.

[@sewwhatseamstress9076]

Since discovering your videos I have tackled 6 different sewing machines with thread "issues". The BEST one was a woman who was going to THROW OUT her machine because she said it was MAJORLY JAMMED and the hand wheel would NOT BUDGE.So, I went there, she only wanted $15 to avoid THROWING it OUT, took it home and in 25 minutes I had a Brother VX-1120 that WORKS LIKE NEW! Some kind of gooey substance was ALL around the bobbin case and had to be PRIED off GENTLY in order to get all the goo off! But now it went from being a $15 possible piece of trash to an Over $100 Value Piece of TREASURE! Your videos gave me that "little push" I needed to get over my fear I would "break it", AGAIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Thank you man of God from the Bahamas 🇧🇸 just started sewing and trying to teach myself my stitch in back keeps looping

[@LaOwlett]

1) Make sure your top thread is threaded with the pressure foot in the UP position. I was never taught this, and I know a lot of people weren't. Realizing this has prevented 90% of my intermittent "birds nest" problems. I didn't know the pressure foot and tension discs work on the same mechanism. Lifting the foot opens up the tension discs so the thread can fit between, putting the foot back down closes the discs. Learning this one simple silly thing has saved so many projects.

[@kazboo542]

I didn't,t know that, great tip 😀going though this nesting problem now, never had this fault in 30, years with my machine a singer, had a clean on it, and in the last 2 years, al, it does is bird nesting,

[@cheryl8280]

I've been sewing for 60 years (since I was 10) and am very impressed with the way you handled these issues. You wouldn't happen to be a travelling repairman, would you? There are only two in my city of almost 1 million and neither of them, unfortunately, are very good at what they do. Sign of the times, I suppose. What you did in your video would have cost $150.00 for each issue. Judging from the comments, you've help an awful lot of people with their machines!! Thank you and Take care!!

[@joevans27]

25 years ago I cpukd buy a cheap machine for a £100. And it would suffer none of these issues & go through thick fabrics with ease. That was the last of good machinery. Kids broke that. Ever since all machines & overlockers that would come out after. Woukd all have constant issues. Knotting up. Eating fabrics. Not hemming. Just awful. More money for nightmares. It literally took all the Joy out of sewing. I noticed I enjoyed sewing 25 years ago. Years later & the thought of it was just dread. A fail everytime for no reason.

[@adriannemariehall]

First.... let me tell you how incredibly happy I am to have found this video. I have taken my machine apart... cleaned the bobbin housing..which wasn't really that dirty... checked the timing... replaced the needle... and bobbin.. Then I saw this video. OMG the only thing that was wrong was that my thread was not hooked over the thread arm... Wow..

[@C_U_R_I_E_L]

Three years of suffering through video after video, all the hardware maintenance videos, and this video is what solved my problem. I've made ten sets of doll clothes. A few pairs of pants. Shorts, and even a blanket in the past week. I'm totally stoked. Thanks Sewing Machine Repair Guy!!! I owe you one (^_^)

[@ashjackson7473]

This video saved me a break down. I was working on a project and mid way I ran out of my bobbin. I refilled it and then this happened. I looked it up found this video fixed it and finished the project. Thank you so much!

You nailed the problem I’m having right on the head. You’re a good teacher! You let an audience hear how you troubleshoot, brainstorm, think the problem through. Trial and error to the problem being solved, and shining a light on the mechanics of machine. Cheers.

You good sir are amazing, i cleaned bobbin casing, re threaded the bobbin about 5 times, never, never thought to check the top thread! Solved within 3.58 of watching your video. Thank you very kindly!

I can’t thank you enough. I got a new machine a few weeks ago, and your instructions saved my life. I did all the steps you showed and it is fixed. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@user-is7xs1mr9y]

God bless you, sir. I started having this problem with my sewing machine for months. It was pretty discouraging whenever I wanted to start on a new project and remembered my sewing machine didn't work. I can´t afford service right now, I'm just working with materials I already own. I share this machine with my mom, too, so you saved us so much money and time and headaches lol. Thank you so much!

[@ronalddevine9587]

Now I know why so many people love vintage sewing machines. Metal vs plastic. True, you can have the same thread bunching, but the worst that happens is a broken needle, and fun time digging out the thread. Great 👍 tutorial

[@rhondah1587]

I learned to sew on a machine my grandmother had that was powered solely by foot power. I never had a problem like was described in this video while sewing on that machine. However, I did once sew through my left index finger when I was 13. My mom said she was glad I wasn't using an electric machine.

[@joevans27]

Facts this is what I keep saying. Vintage everything is better!!. Last of the good machines were luke 24 years ago.. After that they've all been a nightmare including the hemmers. It's same with hoovers , washers, dryers, last century things were built to last forever. Now we get things that are faulty from the get go.. I bought a kirby hoover that's like from 70s/80s & it's suction is amazing!!! It's that strong u need 2 hands lol

[@halcyon119]

You are lifesaver! I’m living abroad and there aren’t any sewing machine repair shop in my town. I tried everything adjusting the top thread tension and bobbin thread tension. Nothing worked. Until I found your video. After watching your video I looked at my machine again “carefully “ and there it was a needle mark. After filing it smooth. Voila it’s works. I’m still staggered how a needle mark can cause this problem. Note to self don’t try to force your machine do what they don’t want to do. Thank you so much. Se safe and healthy 😉

[@julieanneherrick7919]

God bless you! Thanks to you, I found five needle strikes in my bobbin case and fixed the problem. Bless you, now I can resume making masks and sewing quilts.

[@pa4tim]

I inherited my mothers Singer 1918. I have done a lot of sewing in the past but that was on a very old industrial machine (I made things like motorbike saddles, car upholstery (Not commercial) It was not used in a long time but still as new. I fixed some trousers and after a while the looping started. After watching some of your video I cleaned the machine, opened everything and greased / oiled everything. Now it is much more silent, smoother and not a single loop anymore. Thanks for your videos. It works fine but it is all a bit flimsy and not much room under the pressure foot. That industrial machine was build like a tank, you could feed it everything you want. But the 9018 is a lot more handy to mend clothes.

[@Trueliving8]

Wow! Thank you for this video. I couldn’t find a video for this issue, so I stopped seeing for a bit, I prayed.. and then I ran into this video! The video that showed me exactly what I needed to learn. God always provides. Glory to God! 😃

[@marinazagrai1623]

Damsel..even if you went as I did, they do not fix the problem. I had the first issue and after teo trips and soending $70 for each tune up (I only spent about $200 for my machine - and this was 15yrs ago) I tossed because I couldn't make it work.

[@juliettesthoughts1031]

That helped me so much! I have been sewing for years. However, I stopped after my (Marine)fiancée passed away from drugs 10 years ago. Our son was devastated. I got very sick TWICE from Covid and lost 90 pounds. I don't have the money to buy new clothes, so I am making my jeans and shorts much thinner with a simple straight hem. Sadly, I have to cut off the pockets. I will save a lot of money I don't have . I feel privileged to have my Singer and am always able to fix anything I am taught. DIY is very satisfying. Thank you for this video. ❤

[@nitanice]

I've been trying to learn to sew in the pandemic. Done very little, but this has happened twice on my brand new Singer. I walked away from it yesterday. Watched the beginning of this, looked at my machine and voila, it wasn't looped through that upper arm. I did it, but it came undone. THANK YOU!

And I never thought of using my phone to get a closer look. Be doing that as well. God bless and have a great day

Your filing of the bobbin case is what fixed my machine! THANK YOU!! My husband said "yeah, it's due for a tune up at the shop" but I watched 6 videos, yours was the 6th one and it worked like a charm!

[@carmenrobles1187]

Finally...an up close look at the realities of sewing, understanding tread tension. THANK YOU!!

[@martinhitch9116]

Dear Sir, I cannot thank you enough. I have been sewing for a few years, and 'normally' I have solved 'birds nests' by retreading the machine. Occasionally, the thread had come out of the tension slot. This time, I was beginning to go insane, and was prepared to throw the machine out (not really!) You are the first person to mention the bobbin case. I took it out. Yes, it was scratched, a little, but more troublesome were the three needle holes. I ordered a new bobbin case, and so far, it's like I have a brand new machine. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@evelynr7069]

Another top threading issue, is when you try to thread the machine with the presser foot down. This closes the tension disks making the machine ready to sew, but if the tension disks are closed when you do your threading, the thread misses the tension assembly even though you may have passed it down past there correctly.

[@SewingMachineRepairGuy]

Great point!

Thank you for your video. I just got my machine out again for some living history clothes. Started out fine all of a sudden everything jammed. Cleared out bobbin, then oiled and dusted down around, changed the needle, then I took everything apart to tighten the bobbin cash-out all back together, but still had an issue- but the case didn't rattle around- I pulled the threading out for rereading- which for finally solved the problem, I just couldn't see that the threading jumped out of place.

[@margareth1504]

Thats a good tip to teach us. Been sewing a while probably never threaded while foot down but it could happen. I will teach that one to my newest sewing learner who is doing very well I must say.

My sewing machine cant run fast..very slow..how to fix it.any help?.thank you

[@sewwhatseamstress9076]

​@@kathyechano9109Could be a couple of issues. First check your bobbin casing area for any dust or fluff particles as anything that finds it sway to wrap around that area will slow it down. Is it slow ALL the time or sometimes? If your motor sounds like it is struggling I would first suggest give the insides of it a thorough vacuum and if you have NOT given it any maintenance for a while a good cleaning and fresh sewing machine oil on all the elbow joints is warranted. Also, if you have NEVER had the gears checked that is a MUST because those gears MUST have a goo fresh coat of synthetic gear grease to allow it to move smoothly. I cant remember if I have a video on machine maintenance and what to look for when your machine starts slowing down. If I do I will send you that link, if I "don't" I am DEFINITELY making one! I always have a new foot pedal (minus the wiring) that I can attach to a machine like that to see if it is just the foot pedal getting old} a lot of times the contacts inside foot pedals loosen over time and all is needed is to open it up and tighten them back down. I will check on that video of mine and get back with you! Thank you for reaching out!

I believe our Singer 530a is locked up. Cleaned 🪥 out, oiled in place of joints... lifted the bobbin and the wheel on the side to help get it started and press on the foot pedal needle will not drop (like it's stuck) at all, it is electric when apply pressure on the foot pedal or leg lever up by the knee for not having to use the foot pedal it still will not budge. Listening for motor sound that you can hear there's energy. Can't figure it out please help- Thank you!

[@sewwhatseamstress9076]

@@Tashvaldez If when pressing the foot or knee pedal lever, needle not moving, the problem could be a couple of things. Make sure that the bobbin winder is NOT ENGAGED. I am assuming that the hand wheel does not move when you are applying pressure to the foot pedal, so it could be that the lug motor belt needs to be replaced. Another problem could be that the "brushes" inside the motor have worn down and you would need to replace them to ensure a complete circuit of electrical contact.

[@lenawahlberg6109]

This video has been an eye opener for me. Didn't think about how to find out if the problem was the upper or lower thread until now. Thank you! It is most frustrating with intermittent occuring errors. My maschine can work one minute as it should and after just turning the fabric, everything goes just wrong and I have a birds nest behind the bobbin. Now I have tested to make button holes, but neither of the programs work. I will try again now, but use different colours on the upper and lower thread, because it's not only that the button hole programs doesn't make button holes, I get a birds nest also. But now I know the importance of using different colours while trouble shooting! Thank you!!!

Oh wowwwww. Congratulations 🏆🏆🏆 Very helpful and I truly APPRECIATE your kindness. That was my case. The worst part of it was that the little knob on the bobine holder of my BROTHER COMPAL SOVEREIGN, B R.O K E and I got pretty scared. The thread wasn't going fluidly but got tangled over the bobine and I heard a big jam. Too late. The damage was DONE. I compared my bobines and found my error. In my opinion I think it was because I accidentally put in an ordinary cheap bobine which wasn't meant for my Brother Machine. I've been using my machine since 1990 with the authentic bobine provided. One mistake and distraction and the machine is damaged. Thanks a million for your help.

I have the singer 9960 and had problems w the bobbin case when it was new. There was a slight wobble in it. Turned out the bobbin case had pokes in it wh was catching the thread. The best price I could get on a replacement case for that machine was $99 USD. The machine from Amazon was only $329+tax brand new! The new case was rubber whereas the original was plastic. After I replaced it, no problem and the machine was well used for 8+ yrs now. I guess manufacturers use cheaper parts to keep the cost down but nobody sold the cheap bobbin case as a replacement.🙋

Great video. I didn't know about the needle strikes. I'm not sure I have any plastic on my bobbin case, but if I ever have that rat' s nest problem, I'll be sure to look!I've found that sometimes I need to change the brand, type and/ or needle size, or even the weight or thread content. Also using Bottom Line brand thread for the bobbin is a life changer if you can find it. I liked the comment about getting any lint out of the bobbin case. Can also be a tension setting problem, of course. I have a Janome 6500 and it's like any thoroughbred. Everything has to be just right before the race. I've had it for years and love it.

Hooray!!!! This showed up on my feed and I had exactly this scenario with the fabric being pulled down and jamming. FIXED!! Thank you! My Pfaff thanks you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😷👍

Hi great to meet you...after years of having real problem with my Sewing machine..I was about to get rid of it and....I accidentally came across one of your videos + I immediatetly had a change of heart...I'm sewing night + day...thanks to you Sir...blessings

[@keishadavidson7870]

Thank you! Your advice helped me find the cause of my thread bunching. It's the top and not the bottom thread. There was thread stuck in the thread line area at the top. I was so frustrated. I'm very good now. Thanks again.

[@angiegracie6954]

You are a Genius! I fixed it thanks to you it didn’t cost me a repair charge! 👍 liked 👍

[@stephaniemack5929]

Your advise fixed my problem with thread getting bunched up in my machine. I was able to easily follow your tutorial. Enjoyed bible trivia as well. Thank you

[@christinamejer1892]

So glad I found you today sir!! I too had a needle strike on my bobbin case ( in the bad spot too !) I never knew it was there, thanks to you I fixed it and it is now smooth as silk ! My Janome is purring once again :)

[@pouf-wanjau9361]

Thanks so much, your video helps this is my 3rd sewing machine, 2 were end up in trash because of lack of knowledge, hope this one will last for years.

[@kateclauson]

Thank you so much for this video! I wasted half a day looking at my lower thread; not realizing that my upper thread jumped out of the hoop up top. 😂 This totally save me from going to the sewing repair shop.

[@mano1188]

😅 it was same my problem

[@cindyhappel7376]

Okay, so my machine (Brother PQsl1500) was doing this yesterday. I rethreaded, and rethreaded. I’m going to go upstairs and try some of these suggestions because I’m right in the middle of a wedding quilt! Thanks for this video! I’m subscribed!

[@genicegorman3406]

Bless you for mentioning the mask sewers! I have a friend who sewed over 2K masks for donation. I can't even imagine sewing that many. Love your channel and all the great info. I will be heading over to the hardware store for off set screwdrivers - never knew such a thing existed. Thanks for all you do!

[@trishamorrisluke9404]

WOW! I am very new to sewing and I was thinking that I needed to get rid of my sewing machine, but now I think that maybe I just to need to look and see if what you have shown me will work on my sewing machne. Thank you. God Bless.

[@1OneLoveSong1]

Thank you for your help. Love the explanation. I spent almost 2 hours trying to fix my machine but thanks to you it was easier than I thought.

[@devonkittel6787]

Thank you for this video. I thought my sewing machine was broken. I started looking for a new one but I decided to see if there were a fix. I had to do the steps twice, but…..it is doing just fine now. Many thank you’s!!!

[@BirdBestFriends]

Hi! Super Thanks for this video! And that trivia 😇 God has used you to create this video and helped us to solve the problem. I tried everything to fix it, and only your advice works perfectly. thank you once again

[@countryfireball1104]

Thank you for your instruction! You showed me exactly what was the problem in my machine, I fixed it, and now I'm going to finish my sewing project. Thank you! Thank you!

[@Armaduras.Para.Adorar]

Thank you God bless you, I was so sad because my machine didn’t work and now I fixed it.

[@christinewheeler6443]

Thank you so much....I was having trouble with underneath thread looking like bird's nest... I already knew it was an upper tension issue, but could not seem to fix it....I discovered it was a silly fix, I did not have it threaded completely correct...made a huge difference when you showed it...thank you...also learned a lot when your fabric got jammed....thank you....you saved me....

[@natarem]

Thanks, my problem was the needle strike, fixed me right up. Thanks!

[@memorybeka2812]

Thank you soo much I have just fixed my machine. My thread was going around the bobbin case and I smoothed it up with a screw driver. And now I can continue with my order 😁👏

[@sally8708]

Thank you so so so much!! I was extremely frustrated, and sewing should only be a fun creative endeavor. Thanks again!

[@sally8708]

Btw, it was my late granny’s machine. I cried when I thought I broke it. I’m almost in tears again now that we can sew together once more 🥰

[@rebeccaartybeccawatkins6931]

Thank you for this! I think my bobbin case was just slightly off. I didn't even realize I could take it all the way out until I saw you do it. I think it has solved my problem.

[@maureenbrook7173]

Thank you,your tutorial was clear, concise and easy to comprehend. I always thought it was a bobbin thread tension problem with the loopy stitches underneath the fabric. I am returning to sewing after a long break and loving it.

[@Knittyneeds]

Hi Maureen Brook. In other videos they say exactly this CHECK YOUR TENSION PROBLEM 🥺.

[@tanyapalmer8130]

I'm new at sewing, and you are the first one to give insight on where the tension on the sewing machine is . Thank you

[@joannasmall5595]

I love this video. Having the same problem and I learned so much! Getting ready to try and fix my machine now!

[@dawndaly409]

Thank you for your videos, I just started sewing about 6 months ago. I am having a very hard time getting the bobbin thread to come up, like 7 x. I make sure it's all clean, filled bobbin well. Put bobbin in as shown on videos. And I also get the mess under my fabric and caught in the plate. I just bought my singer when I started trying to sew,

[@fannie.9503]

You just saved my weekend sewing with this video ☺️💜 thank you

[@lakshmifjord]

You are a stellar teacher -- it fixed my problem with a Pfaff too: the upper misthreading and the bobbin case out of alignment. thank you!!
