Sewing straight lines...

My machine is only a couple years old, but recently it began bunching up thread on one side when I sew straight, simple lines. It seems like something between the spool of thread and the needle is loose and not keeping the thread taught, but I don't know much about how sewing machines work, so I don't know where to start to fix it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hello MakikiChris. Thanks for the link. I read through it and the problem I was having seemed a bit different. I recently took a few panels off my machine though to try to see what was occuring, and it has worked fine since then, so if it starts up again I'll re-check the points mentioned in the post you sent me.

Thanks for the reply!

I have a Singer 2263 which is old but not used often. I am making aprons for Christmas, I made 3 and all the sudden the bobbin started bunching together. What can I do?

hi Sue.
Why does my bobbin thread keep bunching up? Check Your Tension Settings. Looping underneath the fabric usually occurs when there is not enough tension in the needle thread to pull the bobbin thread. Sometimes thread bunching can be caused by something as simple as the tension dial being inadvertently turned.

4423 HD Singer wont pick up the bobbin thread.- Brand new out of the box I wound and threaded the bobbin, threaded the top thread, sewed 2 12' lines perfectly. Began to sew another line and thread

Put it back in the box and take it back.... sadly modern Singers, even the expensive ones are not well made. Trade up to a Janome.

When I use my Singer model 1120 for sewing straight lines, the thread bunches up underneath. What is the problem?

Be sure that the machine has been cleaned and oiled. Check to be sure the machine is threaded correctly. Check to make sure the bobbin was wound properly.

Stitches are gathering on backside when sewing on patches

This is caused by a bent needle. Try a different needle that is straight. When they get the slightest bed in them the stitching will end on the back side only

My new sewing machine, just opened to use, is bunching thread on the underneath or bobbin side when I attempt to straight stitch. What is causing this to happen. Thanks.

re thread the top and bobbin threads

after pulling up the bobbin thread pull both threads to the back and hol them when stitching the first few stitches

with out holing the threads the machine will pull the thread into the machine and bunch the thread
