Thread Underside Of Sewing Material Bunches Up When You Start To Sew On This Dressmaker Deluxe Sewing Machine Goes 1-1/2" Long Then Jams Machine, How Do I Fix This Problem? Model #swa2000

make sure that the bobbin carrier is fixed in properly
make the needle thread tension a lot tighter

try changing the needle-flat side goes to the back of the machine
check to see if the thread has come off the thread take up lever
try rethreading the machine top thread & bobbin
clean under the needle plate area & also in the bobbin area for lint or loose threads

to see if a needle & thread are compatable, take a strand of the thread your going to use & the needle your going to sew with & put the thread thru the eye of the needle & hold it at a 90 degree angle & see if the needle goes down the thread easily

check the needle plate to see if there's any burrs or sharp edges & the bobbin case also

make sure the top thread does not come off the thread take up lever,cause that can make it jam also

it also possible that the machine could be out of time & would need to be serviced at a repair shop

Hello,

Here are a couple of things to try.

- Re-thread your machine, it may be threaded incorrectly.

- Raise your feed dogs if your machine has this feature.


Note:
when you start to sew a seam, hold the upper and bobbin thread tails. Hold them back and out of the way as you sew your first couple of stitches. This will keep them from getting caught in your machine.

Hope this helps.

Hello,
Here are a couple of things to try.

* Un-thread your machine and remove your bobbin. Clean any loose thread or lint out of your
bobbin case. Re-thread your machine, reinsert and re-thread your bobbin.

* Change your bobbin
There could be a nick along the edge of your bobbin spool that’s catching your thread as you
sew.

* When you start to sew a seam, grasp the upper and bobbin thread tails. Hold them back
and out of the way as you sew your first couple of stitches. This will keep them from getting
caught in your machine.

Hope this helps.

when you say 'bobbin thread bunches' i take it that when you look at the underside of what you have sewn it looks messy. if this is the case and the machine is threaded correctly and the the needle thread is tight enough to bend the needle a little when pulled (with presser foot down) it will most likely be that you need to increase needle tension (maybe to max) when sewing thick fabrics with thicker than normal thread.

if the the needle does not bend a little you may not have the thread in between the tension discs, or there may be thread or lint caught in the tension discs preventing proper tension (try pulling a thin rag through the tension discs to dis-lodge any foreign matter).

need needle threading instructions singer 3116 simple. pictures would help. thank you

Be really sure that the thread is threaded properly. Correct size needle for the material, and no cheaper thread. It does make a difference.

You don't have the thread in the take up lever or it is not in the tension. Rethread it , Pull the thread through the tension assembly and test it to make sure the tension is working correctly.
(To do this test, adjust your tension setting to normal or medium or 5 or something in the middle. Raise the presser foot and pull the thread through the tension. It should pull easily!! Lower the presser foot and pull the thread. It should pull noticeably harder.) If it passes this test, continue up through the take up lever,then down through the thread guides to the needle. Make sure your needle is fully inserted and turned the correct way. set your tension to 5 and try it.
