Difficulty which stitching can be caused be incorrect thread tension. To correct a thread tension problem first identify how the thread is breaking. If the thread is breaking, it may because the top tension is to tight and needs to be loosened. Alternatively if the thread is looping in the back, the problems is most likely top thread tension which is to loose and needs to be tightened.

If you are having difficulty with stitching decorative stitches and have already adjusted top thread tension in everyway imaginable, the problem may lie in the tension of the bobbin tension setting. The tension of the bobbin must be loosened to get the desired stitch tension. In the past it was adviced that the bobbin tension setting was not to be touched, but that is archaic advice as it was given before the machines stitch types and amounts were as vast as they are today.

Today a women came into our store, she was complaining that her brand new sewing machine was not sewing correctly. Upon further investigation we found that she was using poor quality sewing thread. There is no way the sewing machine could have performed correctly because the sewing thread was breaking and shredding. Please remember good in good out. If you are going to take your time to create something make sure you use good quality thread. If you have very old thread please replace the thread with new thread. That bargain bin thread is really not a bargain after all it sloughs off and all of that gets into your machine. Be kind to your machine buy some good quality thread so your machine can perform likes it wants for you.
