Why won’t my needle pick up my bobbin thread?
If it is not in the correct position, the needle will not go down and pick-up your bobbin thread. … Also, make sure your bobbin is in correctly (not backwards) and that the upper tension disks of your machine are threaded correctly. Make sure the presser foot is up when seating the thread through the upper tension.
What causes a sewing machine to not pick up the bobbin thread?
– Your thread could be caught on something between the needle and your spool of thread if so, your thread will be too tight for the needle to pick up the bobbin thread. – Make sure that the upper thread is threaded properly. – Re-thread your machine, if necessary.
Why is my thread bunching underneath?
A: Looping on the underside, or back of the fabric, means the top tension is too loose compared to the bobbin tension, so the bobbin thread is pulling too much top thread underneath. By tightening the top tension, the loops will stop, but the added tension may cause breakage, especially with sensitive threads.
Why does my sewing machine keep getting jammed?
If your bobbin is threaded wrongly, it could cause jamming issues to your sewing machine. Your bobbin thread won’t move properly if there are knots or if the bobbin isn’t properly wound. Check to see if the threading on your bobbin is all tangled, and fix it if you can.
