It is usually your top threading, do this test. Insert a new needle, (flat side facing rear of machine) then totally rethread. Now with the presser foot up, pull on the top thread, it should feed smoothly. Put the presser down and pull thread again, now it should barely move. This usually seats the thread in the tension discs. I am hoping that it is not your timing because that is not a do it yourself job. You need tools and expertise.

How to fix the tension on the bottom part of the fabric with Jean material

With threading tension issues, first you start by checking the bobbin tension and once that is set correctly, everything is done using the top tension dial. This is explains in text article

What is Perfect Sewing Machine Tension? Perfect sewing machine tension occurs when the top and bottom threads are perfectly balanced. That means you shouldn't see any little loops on either the top or bottom of your fabric and the stitching should look even on both sides.

When I finish to sew the end of string does not lacks it self and when you pull the bottom of the string everything opens

If the upper thread is looping on the bottom of the fabric as you sew, the upper tension is too loose. It could be threaded incorrectly, the upper thread may not be seated in the tension disk properly (be sure to RAISE the presser foot BEFORE threading the upper thread), or the upper thread tension is set too loose.

If you have checked everything and it is still looping underneath, the bobbin tension may be too loose or the bobbincase needs replacement.

The bottom thread in my sewing is looping and baggy.

Hello, If the thread is loose on the bottom then it is the tension on the top. If the thread is loose on top then it is underneath.

Loose bobbin tension

the bobbin tension is set by that small spring plate that you pull the thread under after you put the bobbin back in the carrier / holder
a very small turn of that screw makes a big difference ob the tension unlike the needle thread tension
mostly the problem ( you never bothered to mention the symptom ) is bird nesting under the fabric which is the needle thread tension not tight enough

My Bernina Bernette 65 has a problem with the thread bunching up every 10-15 stiches on the bottom. Some of the thread stitches on the bottom of the fabric are in a straight line, and then the thread will...

try a new needle--one that is for the fabric being sewed
then try to adjust the top thread tension again, if the stitches remain loose and the tension won't adjust then the tension knob needs to be checked to see if there is something wrong with it.
also check to make sure the bobbin is inserted correctly into the bobbin case, if the bobbin is not turned the right way in the bobbin case the sewing machine will not stitch correctly.

Fixing the bottom thread when it sews loose

It could be that you threaded the machine with presser foot down.

When the foot is down, then tension control is closed and the thread cannot seat for proper control to the needle.

What appears to be a bobbin problem is actually the top thread not having the tension needed (thead is not where it should be within the tension control) to form a stitch.

Tension issues with the bobbn area

No, I have not had a consistent problem with this.

What looks like a bobbin issue could be a threading issue.

If a sewing machine is threaded with the presser foot down, the tension control does not capture the thread as it should. The top thread then cannot form a proper stitch with the bobbin thread.

If I forget to have the presser foot up when I thread, then I get loose stitching on top and loopy stitches on the bottom.

Thread bunches from the bottom while sewing.

Hello, sewing is a part of my income and I've encountered this problem before and managed to fix it on my own, by trying out these different things. I re-threaded the machine and checked to make sure that the tension is not too loose. Check the bobin and the sack the bobin fits into, sometimes it comes loose too, click it back into place and re-do the bobin. adjust the tightness of the stiitches, I usually put it on 2 .5 - 3. Hope this helps. Good luck to all. [email protected]
