TIPS - Why I Can't use the Thick thread ( T270) on My Sewing Machine

[@fordclevelanddaytonacoupe8881]

Thanks for the video on this! I had to machine down the height of the bearing on my Juki Lu 563 to be able to move the bobbin down. I was still having a tight thread issue after modifying this. So I used 210 thread on the bobbin to give the lower thread more tension, in addition to moving the bobbin down. Worked perfect!

[@ExposingFamilyCourt]

Excellent tutorial ! Excellent! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@KingLoopie1]

Nice tip for me as I take up a new hobby! I'm glad I stumbled on this video... You've earned my sub with this one!

Thanks

[@jimbob3708]

I feel like this was made just for me. Thank you so much!

[@fredpierce9363]

Thank you so much. This so good to know and little by little you are removing the magic and mystery of the sewing machine. Really Informative.

Thank you for sharing! Your videos are very good!

[@ChrisJones-kf1li]

Man!!! I think I've thrown away like 2 or 3 sewing machines. Thank you soooo much!

[@67comet]

Thank you for these videos, I've been watching them for a few days, and I really enjoy your work, how you explain it, and the points you emphasis .. good stuff, thank you ..

I had a consew 225 which is basically the 226 without reverse. I sold it and bought a consew 1255 so I could sew with thicker threads with no issue. I kinda wish I kept it, if I had kept experimenting with thread tension. But having a larger bobbin is nice not having to change as frequently

[@cherimitchell8977]

Awesome instruction!

[@leonardszymanski5341]

Thank you for the video

[@ramloganfracic5761]

The you for sharing your knowledge to the world. Very informative video. I can sense your experience and skills. I repair as well. Viewing from the French island St Martin in the Caribbean. May you continue to prosper in your projects. Blessings

[@josephjames4302]

Wow!!! Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge. This is a game changer for me. God bless you!

[@Doc_Fischer]

The biggest issue that you will run into (with machines NOT originally designed for thicker thread) is the clearance between the presser foot throat plate and the tang from the bobbin case that holds the case from spinning under the throat plate . If you gradually open up that area you will eventually come to a happy medium that will work flawlessly. I have a Consew 226 and a Singer 111w154 . 92 used to be max . After some clearances fixed I can run 270 with a 92 lower . The lower thread issue almost always requires a tension adjustment on the bobbin holder to be proper .

[@cackleberryfarm4598]

Thank you for this video. After watching your video of the fancy stitching and the piping in the seat I was curious if an ordinary house sewing machine could do this? I didn't really find an answer on the Internet. So I am very happy you show this!!!

[@tommygamba170]

Good advice for any machine!

[@melbay8727]

This was brilliant, it is exactly my problem. I will try to lower and fix it. Thank you so much 🎉

[@AlexKall]

Very good tip, thank you!

[@lesleyhiddins2067]

Yep so helpful, thank you

[@sunrisetacticalgear2676]

Thanks for sharing, I would have adjusted the tension on my bobbin case, and still not get it to run correctly. Keep up your hard work, I enjoy watching and learning from you as I spend my day sewing.

[@marcia12gamble]

I found out that a piece of lent will effect the bobbin tention. Thx for these videos. Learning is a life long journey.

[@Handles-R-Lame]

​@@marcia12gamble Every day we learn something new it seems lol

[@philipdevonald1273]

Thank you, I am having the same problem with a machine where the bobbin is mounted from the side, I will try the same idea.

[@dansanders4402]

Excellent explanation! Thanks!

[@aaronaffan5132]

You cleared up a mystery for me

[@mogasesegopotje8483]

You are a boss🤩

[@sochhay]

Thank you for sharing this :)

[@TenaciousCovers]

Great video. A real neat trick you have shared. Love the videos you make, I’ve learned a lot. Keep up the great work. South Coast UK

[@TheInkhousecustoms]

Thanks for the video I don't have a consew but it's can help with the info.

[@arhzee3310]

You can also shim up the throat plate with thin washers and not have to worry about throwing off the timing.

[@philiparcamone7089]

I tried that and it would not feed the fabric.

[@YvesFlawinne]

As a beginner i made te mistake thinking i always had to use the same thread in the bobbin as on top. Tried with thinner thread and it worked. I have a Eagle (Typical) GC20606-1 and it handles the thick thread good. did not have to do anything with the bobbin height but my machines allows up to 9 mm stitches so i think it is well adapted for thicker thread.

[@piecetoyou8285]

What cause the thread to twist fray and snag underneath the work piece also the twisting thread can be seen on top when needle leaves the leather, this s happening on my vintage singer class 7

[@farahhasan9911]

How to purchase the speacial top stich foot for juki please guide thanks

[@ShakilaMpuzen]

Thanks

[@johng1097]

Great tip - thanks !

[@geralddombrowski6911]

can you do a segmant on changing the length of stitch on my consew 226-r1

[@jalenjackson9884]

What size needle are you using

[@mikenelson1495]

Brilliant ! What so many have said it was too much thread for the mechanical parts to handle, turns out to be a bobbin spindle adjustment. Brilliant !

[@mogasesegopotje8483]

Do you have a video for side loading?

[@jasonjacks9002]

Excellent video on a much needed topic

[@Jeffrey-n8g]

Thank you so much you saved me from insanity

[@USMC-Sniper-0137]

Just put a feeler gauge in between the lock tab on the bobbin and the foot table and that way you get an exact adjustment. Maybe a gauge size a tad larger than the thread gauge.

[@dannybrown9253]

What do I do if mine is already down as far as it will go?

[@charlescampbell1319]

Fantastic👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mda420]

Be aware when you do this because your hoock maybe worn out and the bobbin case is going to pop out I had issues like that just be careful because when bobbin case pops out it's going to make big scratch to throat plate or needle plate

[@aaronanthony100]

Hello Mario. I have same sewing machine. Question, when you go back to a thinner thread, is there a need to reverse the process?

[@upholsterytips]

The B92 thread I use with needles 19 -24 if you are use I needdle 16 to 18 I use a different sewing machine

[@aaronaffan5132]

Thanks alot

[@francissalazar2957]

I’ve noticed that if you wax the thread and undo it from the spool and wind it again while waxing it and/or use use a thing called magnetic lubricator which is a thing you place on top of the sewing machine and as you see the thread goes through it and is lubricated a little bit ! those 2 simple things also help tremendously

[@johngalv9288]

I have T-135 and T90/Tex92 but stitching is not to my liking. I'll need to do more testing with different needles. Question: is T270 twice as thick as T135? Thanks

[@jaruan2010]

I have a Consew 206rb4. My bobbin faces to the side. Can I adjust mines to use this thread?

[@jimbob3708]

I have a 206RB5, effectively identical machine. They *should* accept the thread, but I'm going to adjust my bobbin holder on the shaft, and I'll get back with you

[@jimbob3708]

I'm back, ours should be able to use the 270 without that kind of adjustment. I also tried to adjust it.. it's a little different. Mario is exactly right in the video. Our machines just don't adjust that much in that way.

[@armysatyajit.....3415]

Niddle size 🙏plz

[@meanodustino9563]

[@colossus5752]

Goog job👍

[@markdaniel6086]

Thanks.. very helpful.. having this issue with my 112 w115 Singer. thread sounds like it is pinching there on boath bobbins . It was from a swap meet.. so many things were out of adjustment.. this is the last problem 👍👍

[@victorduranulloa6987]

Me gusta pero lo quiero escuchar en español

[@upholsterytips]

Tengo un canal de KZbin en español que cuenta con ese video en total tengo más de 1000 videos públicos

[@bigfranksworld]

Very good info. I have the same machine, but never though I could use that heavy of thread in my machine. Thank you.

[@donfranzini100]

Good idea …. Your upper tension is threaded incorrectly….. thread shouldn’t go over the post on your tension disks… the post is there only to keep the tension disks from spinning

[@derekc423]

I have seen multiple seasoned experts showing that you should go around the tensioner and go around that post then back, so that is how I have been doing it. But I just took a look at the original manual for my consew 227, and sure enough, you are right, it says the thread should just go between the tensioner disks over the top half and not wrap around at all. I'm thinking the around the post thing must just be some common technique that people use for thread that is too fine to get good tension or just an incorrect method that has spread for some reason.

[@blackwingvisuals5017]

Lol t270 is rope not thread ;)

I Luv u mehn

[@eddiefoy3701]

That ain't thread, its rope! :)

[@fakesox3550]

You don't have to make any adjustments...there are other ways to do this without changing anything.
