I suspect the bobbin thread has escaped its tension spring. If you give the bobbin thread a quick short tug and the bobbin spool spins then likely the thread is not behind the tension spring. This usually causes hook jam but not always.



First be sure you have threaded per machine instructions... see below.



Next turn handwheel and position needle at the high point of stroke (always when loading bobbin). Remove and re-insert bobbin. Now, to be sure the bobbin thread is fully positioned behind the tension spring, before you move the bobbin thread into the notch, place your right index finger on top of the bobbin spool to prevent the bobbin spool from turning. Hold thread snugly (in slight tension) as you move it towards the back of the notch. You should feel the thread slide in place behind the spring. Let loose the spool and lightly pull thread. Note the resulting change in tension. (don't forget to set top thread tension back to a more normal setting)



Comment here if you require further assistance.

Hi,

There is an adjustment on the side of the black bobbin case.

Remove the needle plate, to gain access to the case. Lift it out, noting how it is positioned! On the side of it , there are two screws, one is the adjustment screw - its the one that sits out more. To increase tension, turn it clockwise 1/8th of a turn, reassemble and test sew. (make sure the top thread tension is back to where it should be). Repeat if required. DO NOT adjust too much at a time!

Good luck

SOURCE: loose stitches every 1

test it out on 2 pieces of material by rotating the wheele by hand. pay close attention to the 1" area. when you turn it by hand you can feel the area of question. is your bobbin spooled correctly. if all fails read the directions.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/james_1cb31da1bc8c6102

its the sensor on the bobinwinder who are loose. If you are handy. you can remove the top cover of the machine.
And on the left side of the bobinwinder you will find a micro switch. Probably you have to tighten the screw on it..

SOURCE: Hi I have a janome

Yes you can adjust the bobbin thread. Take your bobbin case out, look for the little red dot on top of case--under that is a small screw--get a very small screwdriver and adjust----CAREFUL-IT JUST TAKES A VERY, VERY SMALL TURN--JUST REMEMBER---"righty- tighty--leftty -loosey". Just remember how you turn it--if the tension need tightened, turn it slightly to the right and if you need to loosen the tension--turn it slightly to the left. I hope this works for you.

Janome 6500 Sewing Machine. CORRECT TENSION ON 6500 JANOME SEW MACHINE please.

Question edited for clarity.
Please don't type in all CAPS, it is considered SHOUTING and is harder to read.

Sewing machine tension is a delicate tug of war between the bottom Bobbin tension and the Upper tension to put the loop between the 2 layers of fabric. You set the Bobbin tension first and the the top tension depends on the fabric and the thread used.

Your Bobbin tension is very very loose to be not tensioning at all or the top tension is too loose.

Bobbin thread shows on embroidery pattern

The bobbin thread is being pulled too hard by the top thread. The idea is to get an even pull similar to a tug of war. When it is even the thread will form a knot in the middle of the fabric.
To fix this so the top thread isn't pulling too hard lower the tension of the top thread. This should fix it.

The top thread on my Janome 300E is getting caught in the bobbin. It starts bunching up on the back of the fabric that I am trying to embroider and it gets stuck. When I pull it off all the top thread is...

If your thread is getting caught underneath it's usually the UPPER thread is threaded wrong or not correctly through the tension discs. This can also happen if you're using Sticky Back stabilizer. Make sure you have a new needle in case there's a burr on the old one which can also cause this problem.

Bobbin tension

The bobbin case has an adjustment screw for the tension at about the 6 oclock position as you look at it in the machine. Turn it clockwise to tighten.

The bobbin thread is sewing loose - after sewing you can just pull the thread out. Stitches are uneven in length some short some long.

Tighten the bobbin thread a little and loosen the top thread tension a little. A correctly tensioned embroidery machine will show a little less than 1/3 of the top thread color and 2/3 of the bobbin thread on the bottom side of the embroidered piece. You may have to play with it some so use scrap material and dark top thread until you get your adjustment made.

Tension problem

For Staight Stitch.
Ideal

When adjusting top thread the Higher the number (on the little wheel) the tighter the top thread.

Results depend on
Stiffness and thickness of the fabric, number of fabric layers and type of stitch.

Are you using paper or a plastic bag or pellon under the fabric? This gives a smoother surface for embroidery (on the reverse) and you can cut it away after the design is complete.

Mc 5700 problem

Hi,

You don't have much info here to go on. I take it that it embroiders fine otherwise, ie on the built in designs. Is it a Janome card? Does it do it on a particular card / design? Have you changed the bobbin thread that you use? Check the top tension - even though it is 'automatic', it does require adjustment at times. Have you changed / using stabiliser that you use? Is the bobbin correctly threaded?

Check these things

Embroidery-thread covered by bobbin-thread

Sounds like a bobbin tension problem.  Check to see if a small thread is caught in the bobbin case or try a new bobbine
