Bobbin is making a thumping sound and thread is clumping on bottom will not catch right
Remove bobbin.Take your small sewing machine lint brush and sweep around the bobbin case to remove debris (lint, loose threads).Make sure bobbin looks smooth with no visible bent areas or scratches.Sweep out feed dogs area. Gently get the brush bristles down in there but be very gentle, of course.Make sure when you rethread your machine (which I HIGHLY recommend) that your needle is all the way up as high as it will go in the needle shaft. Flat side of the needle goes to the back and the rounder side should face you. Tighten the screw on the needle clamp securely. How about the weight of the fabric? Maybe it's too heavy for the size needle you are using. Or vice versa. And thread should be of good quality and suitable for the weight/type of fabric you are using (i.e. can't use cotton thread to sew Spandex, etc.)Make sure your bobbin is going properly into the bobbin case. The thread goes under the piece where the tension screw is (right to left) and up through the delivery eye. You can tighten or loosen the bobbin case screw, but just a TAD and test results, being careful not to over-turn this! It doesn't take a huge turn to change results it makes.Hope this helps!Jimmy
Bobbin shuttle
1. Clean shuttle with your sewing machine brush to remove old broken threads, lint, and sweep out the feed dogs carefully.
2. Rethread making sure you have the handwheel turned toward you, all the way up.
3. Lift presser foot up BEFORE you put thread front to back in eye needle.
4. Set machine on straight stitch sewing. Attach straight stitch foot if necessary.
5. Make sure 5-6 inches of thread are pulled toward you from threaded needle.
6. Pull up bobbin thread.
7. Pull 5-6 inches of bobbin thread and put it, along with needle thread under presser foot.
8. Put fabric scrap under presser presser foot and LOWER it now. Make sure, too, that the needle is correct size for fabric you're sewing.
9. Do a test. You may need to set tension at 4, stitch length at about 4 and width at 6. Just test it and adjust tension in very, very short turns.
Another tip: Put one drop of good quality sewing machine oil on the hook, lower left-hand side. Make sure when you thread bobbin in the bobbin case to hold bobbin between thumb and forefinger and pull out about 4 inches of thread after you make sure thread unwinds top left (if you are right-handed!).
Guide the thread into the slot in edge of bobbin case (screw sits on top of this "edge".
Pull thread under tension spring and then into the delivery eye.
Never panic, my friend! Try this and see if this helps.
You should probably insert new needle too--just in case "old" one bent.
