SOURCE: bobbon thread is too losse /thread breaks no

Clean out the bobbin area.

Thread the machine with the presser foot up. This opens the tension so the thread can enter. Threading with the foot down closes the tension and the thread cannot enter as it should. When you sew, the top thread is loose and cannot properly connect with the bobbin thread to form a tight stitch. The stitching does not hold and pulls right out.

Thread breakage - top thread? Check the thread spool to be sure there aren't any nicks to catch the thread.

When the thread breaks, check the spool pin to see if the thread is unwinding too fast and wrapping around the pin. Thread nets can help stop this. You can find them at sewing machine dealers.

My machine is jamming, the bottom threading gets way too loose. and jams the machine up. I dont have an manuel or any instructions.

Ironically, often times when the bobbin thread is knotting up, it's the top thread that needs the adjustment. Loos top thread thesion will tangle up in the bobbin cassing...Think about it for a minuted. Try a quarter turn to the right on your top tension and then go fro there. There could be a problem with the bobbon casing tension adjust screw and plate. but I doubt it...Nine times out of ten when the bobbon thread is tangles the top thread is too loose.

My sewing machine is properly threaded up etc but will not catch the thread from the bobbin please help..

Your timing is off, remove the floor plate on the table and run the flywheel over by hand, the needle should bottom out and start its up stroke. At this  time the hook on the bobbon carrior should pick up the loop in the thread. If not loosen the set screws on the back of the bobbon  carrior and adjust.  What type machine is it ? and model number ,, let me know. [email protected]

How do you thread the bottom bobbin?

Depends, it is a top load bobbon or does the bobbon go below the needle shaft. ???
Just remember that when you place the bobbon into the shuttle the tread always has to pull clockwise. So if you are holding the bobbon facing you the thread comes from the top to the right.
Lay the bobben into the shuttle making sure you pull the threads in a clock wise motion until you pull it under a metal point that looks like a flattened needle. This is also your bobben tension and then take your hand and turn the clutch wheel slowly. You will see the thread loop around the bobben thread and pull it up.

Neddle hitting the bobbon

does the hook assembly move when you turn the handwheel? If no, then your hook drive gears are shot.
