Do you have some pictures of the area involved. I know how to put these things back but I can't think how to explain it to you.. pics might help me show you.
Brother has an outstanding service department, and if you don't have a manual, they should have one. Should have a pic of how it goes together.
try changing the needle try a different bobbin make sure the bobbin is wound correctly and not over wound make sure the bobbin is turned the right way in the bobbin case clean under the needle plate and in the bobbin area for lint make sure the top thread has not come off the thread take up lever
try changing the needle --make sure the needle is the right one for the fabric being sewed try a different thread make sure the bobbin is not over filled make sure the bobbin is turned the right way in the bobbin case make sure the thread has not come off the thread take up lever
This is easily solved. Before you start sewing make sure your upper and lower threads are long enough for you to hold before lowering the presser foot. If these threads are too short they both get carried down into the bobbin along with the fabric and cause a big tangled mess. Always hold your threads at the back of your work with your left hand then lower your pressure foot and don't release the threads untill you have taken several stitches. Keep holding these threads during backstitching at the beggining of a seam too. Works like magic.
Incorrect threading of the top thread can also cause lower loop tension problems. As can the wrong size or blunt needle. Try re-threading top thread first.
Does this only happen when you begin sewing????? Make sure your upper and lower threads are long enough for you to hold them.......lower your pressure foot and don't release the threads until you have sewn several stitches into the seam. If you don't hold the threads when starting a seam...both threads often get pulled down into the bobbin area and cause a big tangled mess. Hope this helps.
change the needle
rethread the machine-make sure to get every thread guide
make sure the thread does not come off the thread take up lever
clean under the needle plate where the feed dogs for lint
also clean the bobbin area for lint & loose threads
First, open the needle plate and make sure the bobbin area is clean and free of lint and thread.
Check the needle to make sure it is not bent and is properly inserted into the holder - usually with the flat side facing to the back of the machine.
Refer to your manual for bobbin insertion to be sure the thread is feeding from the bobbin in the correct direction and through the proper guides.
Always thread a sewing machine with the presser foot up. This opens the tension control and allows the thread to properly enter.
When the foot is down, the tension control closes to the sewing setting and if the thread is not in place, there is no tension on the thread and it gets loopy.
After threading, lower and raise the needle while holding onto the thread tail. This will pull the bobbin thread up through the needle plate. Take hold of both threads and take them under the presser foot and to the back of the machine.
Hand walk the first stitch when sewing and this should keep the top and bottom thread from tangling.
When stopping to change the position of the fabric (turning a corner, sewing a curved seam for example), do so with the needle down into the fabric. This not only anchors the fabric so it does not slip, but prevents mis-stitching.
If you are doing everything according to the manual and are still having a problem, the machine may need to be professionally serviced.
Check to see if the lower thread be tangled. Also, the bobbin could be threaded improperly in the shuttle hook. Rethread the bobbin in the shuttle hook.
How to detangle a thread---
When a machine stops operation due to tangled thread, do not turn the pulley by force. If the pulley is turned by force then, lower thread might not be picked up correctly and stitches might not be formed correctly.
If threads get tangled, remove a needle plate and cut the tangled threads by scissors or cutter.
