Specialty threads will take more experience to work with. Take the upper thread all the way off the machine.You will get better with practice but for now, let’s rethread your machine. I did this as a beginner, and every single one of my students have made this mistake.
Usually the problem is that… Your machine is not threaded properly. Let’s do some sleuthing to figure this out. So, set that tension dial back to the center (4), and your stitch length to between 2 and 3. You don’t need to muck around with the tension for standard projects sewn with all-purpose thread unless your machine is in need of a servicing, WHICH IS NOT LIKELY. The only times your (upper or bobbin) thread tension needs adjusting is if you are using some sort of speciality thread, or you are doing Free Motion Quilting or something of the sort. woohoo!).įirst off, in all likelihood, there is nothing that needs to be adjusted about your thread tension. But that is a good thing! It means we can get you sewing again in no time flat (and for FREE. It’s not the machine, it’s probably user error.
“My machine must be broken!!! The tension is all off.” No matter the settings, you can’t figure out and you give up. You try spinning the tension dials because you heard that there is something called “thread tension” and this must be that problem. There were loops or snarls of threads on the back side, or the stitches were skipping. So you have a sewing machine, you took a class or had a friend show you how to use it, but the first time you try to use it on your own, the stitches came out all wonky.
