[@ohjordan11]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS. I have watched over 10 hours videos and spent even more time than that troubleshooting. This fixed it! Thank you!!!

[@archanakeerthi8672]

I am beginner who was in the verge of giving up sewing as i was going crazy not knowing how to fix the stitch. Thank you very much for your video that aspired me to move ahead.

[@punchy13]

Omg!! Thank you so much. I have been trying all night to figure out why my topstitch is so ugly. Yours is the only video that I found that shows and explains this so well, or in fact at all.

[@noranimohammedfathi7668]

You are a life saver!!!! My loose stitches problem has been solved after watching your video!!❤

[@louannnadalini4089]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! My stitches weren’t coming out correctly, and I searched the Internet for about two full hours until I found this video ! Fixed my problem instantly. I’m so grateful.

[@taniarodriguez5668]

Oh my goodness! I'm so glad I came across and found your video! It was the only one that actually helped the exact issue I was having and answered without adding extra fluff or commentary. Thank you!

[@ryoendrewello]

Same here! Thank you!

[@zydrunemac]

Wow, thank you so much! I thought I was going crazy testing all the thread tension levels and thinking they all looked the same. The genius 'finger on the bobbin' trick saved me a lot of frustration.

[@kingyosenpai7647]

THANK YOU!! Fixed my issue in 5 minutes flat! I really appreciate the quick demo and explanation of what's happening and why.

[@Blackspire_Cosplay]

such great information thank you.

[@jillgladd9622]

OMG THANK YOU! I was going crazy adjusting my top tension! The bobbin rethreading fixed it!

[@gromessewing]

I'm so glad our video helped you! Most of the time, you shouldn't have to adjust your machines tensions, so if something goes funky, just start from scratch & rethread everything. ☺

[@marvelousnkut7823]

OMG! Thank you. This was so helpful

[@jenniferschannel4823]

Such a helpful video! Finally after watching about 10 others this one actually solved my problem! Thank you!

[@Labiadore]

Thank you soooo much! This has been driving me absolutely crazy and of all the videos on KZbin about tension yours was the only that helped me know what I was doing wrong ❤

[@berthamalleus5920]

Cindy!!! You angel, this was such a simple and clear explanation to such an odd problem, I can't believe I haven't been threading the bobbin correctly and you have single-handedly saved my next project!

[@sharayalee3376]

Bless you! You’ve saved my sanity!

[@rosegore1270]

Thank you for sharing ❤🌹

[@jesspeak7543]

Thank you for your great demonstration. Thankfully you didn't merely sew one (a) stitch, as there wouldn't have been much to compare. The Row of stitches displays the improvement immensely.

THANK YOU

[@Elena-sm2hv]

Thank you so much for this video! I just bought a new machine three days ago lol . The stitching was driving me crazy 😅.

[@purple_oak]

At first I thought this wouldn't fix my problem because the adjustment I made was so minuscule but it did! My machine also doesn't have the guide like the one in the video. So grateful for your help, thanks so much!

[@helenweatherby1694]

Thank you! xxx

[@eldajackson1]

I have to agree with all the other folks here. I haven't tried this yet, but im betting this is the solution. Please next time do a contrasting thread to your fabric. Excellent info, thank you.

[@Lizspears79]

Thanks!!!

[@ovettaj]

Yesssssss thank you I fixed it

[@yvetteanderson4065]

[@psychologicalfacts9785]

thanks alot

[@lindaricher5359]

Thank you couldn’t figure out why my stitches started puckering and were pulling apart. All fixed now

[@RetiredAdventurers]

I get the same issue when I sew with a 500 yd gen purpose thread on my brother 1500 sl, but when I switch to a 300 yd gen purpose thread my stitch looks like a regular stitch, and both threads are from the same MFG, coats and clark from walmart. Do you know why that happens?

[@kit6864]

How does this work for older machines with the bobbin on the side of the machine not the top?

[@ritarogers900]

Hi how do I fix a slanting stitch

[@gromessewing]

Sometimes it could be the quality of thread, or the weave of your fabric. Depending on how often a slanted stitch pops up in your straight stitches, you may want to take your machine to your closest sewing machine dealer or service department and you may just need a tune up. We recommend either a Mettler or Gutermann All Purpose thread for your everyday sewing.

[@valeriehofmann2615]

How do I know if my machine has this? The manual is no help. There is something there but I've never been able to get it under there. Not sure if it is supposed to

[@Finn-lp5uf]

How can I increase my bobbin tension if my machine doesn't have any tension disks? My bobbin just slots straight in

[@angeljoy66]

Thank you! My bobbin wasn’t properly threaded!

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

Yes thank you, thats where Im at. My top stitches are looking jumpy and uhg

[@anabelmanacio2787]

Hello maam can i apply you as your sewer .. im from philippines

[@DollFairyCrafter]

I was sewing just fine the other day. Then it started messing up, Its like a few stitches are good and then it does a giant long stitch, on top and bottom

[@Katherine_02]

My problem is that my stitches are fine until I reverse stitching and then I get loops on top. Having a heck of a time finding a video trouble shooting this. Anybody have a suggestion?

[@CelticHallows]

I have the opposite problem - what if the top stitch looks beautiful but the bottom stitch just looks like a strait piece of thread that can be pulled right out.
