Adjusting the stitches on White sewing machine 425
Adjusting stitches how? Are the stitches too short, too long, is the tension off, are there loops of thread accumulating (bird nests), thread pulls out of the fabric, is the top thread not picking up the bobbin thread????
Model510 White don't pickup treat from bobean
Make sure you are using a brand new needle, as an old/damaged needle will frequently not pick up the bobbin thread.
If a new needle does not solve the problem, then the machine is most likely out of time. You can search for sewing machine timing or take the machine for service.

Model 4075 white sewing machine problem with thread from bobbin
1. Replace thread with good thread. (Check by holding to light to see if there is fuzz).
2. Adjust the bobbin tension. The tension on top is set to three and the bobbin tension should be equal to this amount.
3. Replace needle.
4. Check the top tension with tension foot down to see if the thread can move or does it get stuck? If it gets stuck the tension control may need adjusted or cleaned.
5. Pull the bobbin thread above the throat plate and pull on the thread. It must have some tension but not get stuck.
TENSION TENSION TENSION IS THE PROBLEM!
Model 4075 white sewing machine thread from bobbin builds up and stops sewing.
Check the stitching and confirm that it is in fact bobbin thread and not the top thread that is creating knots & loops under the fabric. This is usually the case and is called thread nests or bird nests. (You can search the internet for more information about this symptom.)
Install a brand new needle.
Remove the thread from the machine.
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot while rethreading the upper thread.
Confirm the thread path is correct.
Verify the bobbin is installed facing the correct direction in the bobbin case and the bobbin case is threaded properly.
Set the upper tension to the midway point (factory standard) although it may need to be tweaked as machines change with use and time.
Pull up the bobbin thread. This method works with general sewing projects, not just quilting.
How and Why to Bring up the Bobbin Thread
Begin to test sew slowly.
If the thread is still making a mess, then the machine most likely has a timing issue. There are multiple web sites and videos that discuss sewing machine timing. Or take it for service.
