Please provide the make and model of your machine. Generally, the thicker the material... the longer the stitch. Needle type is also important.

SOURCE: Wrong type of stitch/tension not working

Found a solution to my own problem.... hope this helps someone else. Make SURE the bobbin case is seated correctly! (follow the instructions carefully). Don't put the cover back on right away after you put the bobbin case in. First check and make sure it doesn't move when you turn the hand wheel.
Also, when threading the bobbin make sure the thread passes down through the tension adjusting spring of the bobbin case.

Try oiling the hook if you haven't recently.
Check you needle plate and hook for damage, they may need to be buffed or sanded smooth.
Check your upper tension discs for lint and double check your upper thread path (proper threading).
There are other things like hook timing, needle clearance or broken check spring that may be wrong but you need a technician for those things.
best of luck!

SOURCE: Singer Touch Tronic 2001 Sewing Machine Stuck on Sewing Straight Stitch Only

I had a similar problem a couple of years ago. I finally figured out that I had the straight stitch needle plate (the one with the single hole), rather than the zig zag needle plate (the one with the curved hole). When I changed plates, it worked fine.

SOURCE: bernina 1080 stitch length and needle jumping problem

you will most likely find that just adjusting the stitch length and width controls for a while will correct the problem (if the machine has been sitting idle for some time the stepper motor linkages seem to stiffen up a bit but i have good success with continual adjustment until they free-up.

also try switching machine off and on again to ensure it resets correctly.

the combination of both above fixes works 95% of the time - otherwise, as you mentioned circuit board and or stepper motor replacement may be necessary (however if both length and width are playing up it is unlikely to be an electrical fault).

I have a Brother XL 3500 what do I set the dials on for a basting stitch

What is the stitch length for a basting stitch?

Basting a Seam for Fitting:

At the sewing machine, set the stitch length to 5mm. This will make it easy to remove any unwanted stitches. Sew the seam at the desired seam allowance. After fitting and the adjustments have been made, sew the seam with a normal stitch length of 2.4mm.

My Necchi sewing machine. I can’t seem to adjust the stitch length

Doing a google search for the brand plus model number for a user guide or YouTube videos might find what you are looking for. That it is a Necchi doesn't supply the model number and of course models differ. On a 537L model, the large knob on the right side about halfway between the top and bottom of the machine adjusts stitch length. The numbers may range from 0 to 5 with 0 meaning no length and 5 being the largest length. Tension, stitch length and stitch width are all controlled by small dials on the front of the Necchi machine. If your stitch length is set to 0, the sewing machine will not feed the fabric. Incorrect tension will cause poor stitch quality. You must consult you machine's user manual to know how to adjust the tension as the procedure differs among machines. Here is a general guide, however:

How to zig zag on a janome sewing model 385.4052LX200 what numbers do I set the length dial and the stitch dial on

It really depends on what you want your stitch to look like. A longer stitch length will put more space between the stitches. Shorter stitch length will close the gap between stitches. Stitch width determines how wide the stitch will be.

New project call for stitch length of 12. Is that about a number 2 on my 153 machine

The 12 probably refers to the number of stitches to an inch, so probably a 2.2 to 2.4 may be sufficient. A setting of 2.5 is probably closer to 10 stitches per inch. Twelve stitches per inch is good for most garment stitching. The stitches are not too far apart to allow popped stitches under stress and gapping between stitches nor too close together that would make it difficult to remove stitching when correcting a mistake.

What do I set my machine for to make very close zig zag stitch. Husqvarna Viking platinum 755.

With most machines after you select the Zig Zag setting you then select the normal stitch knob that can be adjusted for long or short stitch lengths and that should also give you adjustment on your Zig Zag stitch length .

I want to baste and dont know how to set straight stitch and length.

To baste, set the stitch length as high as possible (zero is a non-stitch length, probably 4 or 5 on your machine is the largest stitch length). Set the stitch width to zero so there is no zig-zag.

How can I reset the stitch length?

Try resetting it according to the manual on page 56. First turn the machine off, unplug it and wait 2 - 3 minutes and re-plug it and turn it back on and reset the stitch length - the screen for the stitch setting will appear, the down arrow makes the stitch shorter, and up arrow makes the stitch longer. If that don't work you might have to contact sewing machine serviceman, or you might can call Brothers and they can help troubleshoot the problem.

Do not know how to set the machine for simple straight stitch.

I don't know your model but most machines have 2 common setting devices, namely a stitch width dial (how wide the needle swings) and a stitch length dial, how far apart the stitches are. So a normal straight stitch is "width" set to zero and "length" set to 2.5. If the machine has several different stitches then there may be a "stitch selector" too where you can choose the stitch style, ie zig-zag, 3 step zigzag, blind hem stitch etc.

You could try to locate a manual or threading diagram at various websites or visit sewing.about.com which gives good general information on threading and use.

I need to know how to make a button hole, can't find manual.

Hi there, don't know your machine but you can do a plaiin buttonhole manually.
Set machine up for zigzag stitch, needle to left side, mark out the size you need with pins or marker pen. Start at the top and set for widest zigzag with 0 length for the top bar, cannot give sizes as don't know the button you are using, about 6 stitches, set stitch width to just over half the width of top bar and length to approx 0.5. Stitch down to bottom marker and again set up ffor the wide bar, do the same amount of stitches as the top, finish with needle down at the outside edge, turn work so that you will now stitch down the other side to meet the top bar, not forgetting to adjust stitch length and width again.
Hope this helps

Lengthening stitches.

You can adjust the length of the Zigzag (Satin)
Stitch using the buttonhole fine-adjusting screw. You will find it right above your stitch selection dial.

> For a longer stitch length, turn the
buttonhole fine-adjusting screw with a large
screwdriver in the + direction.
> For a shorter stitch length, turn the
buttonhole fine-adjusting screw with a large
screwdriver in the - direction.

Hope this helps
