Why Your Sewing Machine Thread is Bunching 😅TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST

[@LTRLTrendFashnGuru]

What are your most common problems? Let me know if I can help!

[@MISSTIERYDES]

You helped me NOT pull my hair out

[@evelynburriss9746]

What should I do when everything is good and the tension is good and it's threaded the right way, but my fabric is journey knit, and it's bunching up

[@blinkblink8748]

3yrs later hope you are still answering questions lol ...singer machine it's threaded correctly. Played with tension a million times ..bobbin is in correctly.. I'll start to sew all is good for 3 seconds then bunches up top thread gets stuck under the bottom

[@kallikalpakoff4391]

Faren I trust you with my life. Thank you for helping me not throw my machine out the window.

[@johnywalter9788]

1:16 solved my problem completely. I didn’t think that the thread came out of there but I’m glad I watched your video. After looking for about half an hour you finally helped me. Thank you so much

[@mythoughts9519]

I was happily sewing away when the bobbin ran out of thread, rethreaded it and had the thread bunching problem. The needle is almost new, bobbin cleanly threaded and everything seemed as it was so I followed your ten-point checklist and now it is working as it should. I did, however, come across a lot of fluff which needed removing. I really don't know if that was the issue but I am so glad I watched your video👍

[@jarapovic]

After calling my machine every name in the book I figured out what was wrong thanks to your video 😂

[@katiecooks13]

Thank you so much! I took on the project of sewing a historically accurate 1890s wedding dress for Halloween (fully knowing that I can only handsew) and couldn't figure out why the string was bunching. You've gained a new subscriber for sure!

[@brincolquon2664]

i can’t believe i didn’t realize that my thread wasn’t through the uptake lever 😭 thank you so much

[@ChefJB-ps8yn]

God bless you !!!!!! I just bought a new machine and I didn’t know how to thread the machine. Two days after struggling I found your video and my machine is finally stitching !!!❤❤❤

[@jennafaye8337]

Starting to sew again, after 3yrs of not & the manual just wasn't covering it! Got my answer right at the beginning, lol. And now subscribed, for future reference

[@vibhahegde2002]

I just kept eyeballing my thread to see that it was threaded correctly and troubleshooted everything else and it didn’t work. So I took your advice and rethreaded my machine and voila 🎉 thank you for all your help.

[@monamansour8580]

Oh my gosh! My thread length was indeed set at 1 and that's why it kept bunching up!!! I can't believe the solution was this easy! Thank you so much ❤

[@ml3470]

Thank You! That was exactly the problem! I don't know how it got misthreaded but I have rethreaded the Bobbin a dozen times thinking that was the problem. You nailed it!

[@genesisfinley8511]

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I inherited a sewing machine from my grandmother. It's a beautiful old singer, but it has horizontal spindle for the thread on top and I didn't know it made a difference. If you laid the thread down on its side or had it vertically. It's missing whatever used to hold it. So now a chopstick saves the day!!!!

[@rasacornillie9322]

You are my best new friend, lady!I love your videos so much and it's only 5ish am😂I used to sew back in the day when I was a teen and in my 20 a little, and now I'm trying to pick it back, but I'm encountering some bumps(tention) on my way so let's hope that your fixing tips will get me out of the mess because I want to have fun and do some projects .I used to sew and I'm stuck😢with the bunching .grrrr! God bless you and you look like you enjoy what you are doing and helping the rest🙏💖So love and peace ✌️, sunshine! Keep shining🌻🌞☀️

[@elementgypsy]

Oh, I forgot that a smooth wound thread spool should go vertical. Thanks. Subscribed. Like your videos

[@the_angry_empath]

Immediate like with that opening 😂❤

[@theonlyrick]

You sorted my problem 1 minute 27 seconds into the video. I'm impressed! 😄 Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@SerenityNowww]

THANK YOU!! was about to have to spend hundreds on a sewing repair but it was the tension! ❤❤❤

[@smiddybee19]

Omg ur an absolute life saver I changed my tension and bobbin and was about to give up u where right my thread had slipped from the feeder ❤❤❤❤ I love u and thank you for this video

[@ariannabalestri5743]

Thank you Faren! Your pdf is soooo cuuute! And useful!

[@masssika]

Thanks, your video calmed me down... Gonna try again.

[@nytaylor1745]

Thank you 🙈 not sure why I didn't try re threading the machine sooner

[@sharonhochberg3671]

This was so helpful to help understand the intricacies of a sewing machine. In the cartoons are so nostalgic for old fogies like me. So fun to watch. I will subscribe. Thanks!

[@hoopsypoof]

Awesome video and love your vibe! N00b sewer here and just experienced mu Bobbin thread bunching up with no clue why. Tried retreading as you suggested and the problem is gone! Thanks 🎉

[@kathygrant7691]

"Holy crap!" This was very helpful -- and entertaining too!

[@yay-cat]

Thanks!

[@joycinchez6973]

First tip got me fixed right away thanks!!

[@AprilMulvey]

I have done everything in your tutorial video to fixing my sewing machine on the snagging into the bobbin area I completely re-ran bobbins and did that I checked my tension on my bobbin I placed in a needle I even went through and completely broke my machine down to bare Bones blew it out with my can of air I even checked components that require oil and everything looks good there my sewing machine is a brand new singer 3230 no offense singer sucks but this machine hadn't even been out of the box 30 days and was already in the repair shop as it was I have done everything in your tutorial on the bobbin catching I've got it operating just a snag better but not much it'll get about 3 inches and then tangle up

[@kathymcleod6838]

I hope you are still checking your comments because I need help. My problem is that every 1"-2" (sometimes 3" or 4")of sewing the top thread makes a tiny loop underneath. I need help! I have done everything you mentioned. I am not new to sewing but this has never happened to me before

[@LisaSchnettler]

OMG. completely diagnosed and solved my problem! thank you!

[@JaymiReimann-tt2tp]

Thank you! That was very helpful!

[@paigeturner165]

I did not know about the threads and the v or h reel hinders!?!? 😮

[@CaroVMusic]

Thank you! The thread on my machine had fallen out of the thread arm. Now my shorts are fixed because of you! 💕🪡🧵

[@katieshea6980]

Thank you!!! Saved my sanity!

[@jeanclemons8073]

Wow ty I was sewing all of a sudden it started going wonky. Lol it was because when I retreated I noticed I missed the up take lever.😂

[@bethechange1297]

So helpful! Thank you for your expertise 💗

[@wrcarroll67]

I had it threaded wrong, thanks

[@14lisawho]

Will you explain the direction the thread should come off the spool and the bobbin? Back or front of the spool? Right or left of the bobbin? I’m sure it matters but the visual guides on my Brother machine are difficult to read…

[@heatherr2141]

You're a God damn genius. Thank you

[@sharonhochberg3671]

Where do we learn about what combination of factors to use for any given job. E.g., sewing denim... Proper thread, needle, tension. ? Any videos to explain this? Thanks.

[@shadowkitsu]

I need this as well

[@paigeturner165]

Hey Faren this is great thank you. When I try to get your troubleshoot list it says …server not found. Any advice? 🙏

[@walkerorr341]

Jess from New Girl vibes!

[@nicolewilliamson840]

How do I get it to stop balling up from the bobbin? The needle doesn’t turn very well and only goes about one turn. We are using a bernette machine

[@belleg1980]

Thank you thank you thank you

[@desertpunk1299]

Common, top thread starts to shread to the point the more u sew the material, the thread starts to shreas then break from Bing over striped how to fix?

[@JDG.RealEstate]

At #9 I was about to stop this video and just throw away my new sewing machine because I had already tried everything, and then it came #10 😮‍💨😌

[@quademasters249]

I was stuck and your advice unstuck me. Thanks.

[@linzl3615]

Hi wow amazing video you deserve way more likes!

[@rasacornillie9322]

I agree🎉She is the best!

[@zoyzwane1158]

Greetings! I'm using sewtech ST 8700 industrial machine and cannot sort out the bottom stitch. I've tried everything and only the top stitch got sorted. Kindly help 🙏🏾

[@KarlaJorge]

My problem is the machine pulls all the thread under the fabric in Bunches. It seems to be the top thread.

[@gametime3514]

So helpful and entertaining. You look great too, I like your sense of style. Subbed

[@LTRLTrendFashnGuru]

Thank you so much for the sub love! Glad you found this helpful and entertaining - that was the goal!

[@cam94keith96]

Thank you!!! You're the best!!!

[@judymatta1736]

I checked everything, and my stitches are still not right. They are bunching up.

[@ravepirates]

thank u so much. thank you thank you thank you. u saved me

[@janegoodman4913]

I love you.

[@erinmurphy6741]

Hey! Thank you for the video. Could these solutions alsp apply to serger threads bunching up?

[@AhmedBadat-rk7et]

I Stil have A problem with my bottom stitches are bunching.... I tried everything, you said but nothing is working it Stil bunching majing it look untidy

[@RiimuCraft]

Help me out. The yarn coming from top keeps piling or punching up at the needle. Unsure if it happens at the eye of the needle or higher up. It peels the yarn to one layer and then just gets stuck somewhere above needle. My needle plate has a small notch on it and I have wondered if the yarn gets stuck on that and therefore peels? This mostly happens when doing zigzag or lightning stitch

[@lukerichardson1638]

Some useful info in there thanks! However wonder if you could help, I'm sewing velcro onto a door netting, and it's sometimes pulling 3 threads up from the bobbin and knotting, I have moved my needle over to the right and tightened the stiches a little and it seams better, but every 12 inches or so its still pulling the 3 threads up snapping but retreading itself so I can carry on?

[@lukerichardson1638]

Or sometimes It will do a normal still 10 times then miss 10 stitches and miss again. Sorry I don't know much about sewing but love to take it up

[@kennkirkland828]

my thread is bundling up on the bottom side of my machine what could cause that it's ajuki model 8700

[@kelli-annwoulfe2741]

Why is my Bobbin in thread bunching after every 10 or so stitches?

[@AllysonReeves]

My thread is not progressing in the needle therefore note sewing

[@JosefinaQB]

Crying throwing up I can’t figure out what’s wrong even with a list of possibilities like the top thread is pulls too hard to pull it down but I don’t know how to make it loose like it feels like all these damn metals hooks it needs to go through is why it pulls so tight and the spool itself was just already like this when I bought this like it’s a brand new just bought tiny sewing machine and this is the same problem I had with a brand new sewing machine I bought years ago so what the fuck am I doing wrong and what the fuck do I do to fix it I’m freaking out

[@tegay6623]

Hey there new subscriber. My sewing machine is skipping stitching and getting bunched up and sometimes it doesn't sew at all.. help please

[@LTRLTrendFashnGuru]

Hey Tega, Thanks for your question - sorry to hear your sewing machine is having problems. It could be anything, as I mentioned in the video... it could be the dull needle, thread gauge, bunched thread that you cannot see but is tucked around something underneath your machine. It could be your the presser foot, it could be that your machine is not threaded properly (or have fallen out from the uptake lever. If you go through the 10 checklist, I have provided a free downloadable checklist (link found in the description of this video) you may find the problem? Best of luck
