Are you seeing loops of the upper thread on the bottom side? If so, then the bobbin tension is too tight, or the upper tension is too loose. The threaded shaft on the upper tension might have stripped, leaving you with no adjustability.

"Birdnesting" occurs when there is no tension on the needle thread to pull the bobbin thread. This is easily corrected by rethreading the machine, following the threading path carefully and making sure the thread is fully engaged in the tension mechanism.



Good luck ..

It's a loud machine.
If you have kids or you simply don't want anything that's noisy, then you better look for another one. This equipment produces noise than may annoy you.

Get the bobbin case fixed, and find a sewing machine store that takes trade ins.

Here ya go!

Hi, check that the thread tension knob makes only one rotation from 0 to 9 and stops at each ends, see that it moves in and out as you increase or decrease the tention, see that the small tension wire to the left of the knob is still in place, in any of these fail you need to replace/repair that assembly.

Here is a link that will take you to the site where you can download the manual that you need, right to your computer. I hope that this helps!

I think it's your needle it's to long. find the right . size Try taking your needle out and see what happens . If your machine moves it's the needle.

Hi, I suspect you wrote the serial number wrong. Here is where to look at the serial numbers and machines years.

The number you wrote is too high for the machines that start with a V. Check again.

F4 means that the machine is losing a disconnect from the foot control which could mean a main pc or new foot control

problem can't be diagnosed with just this info. could be motor, cord, plug, where the cord attaches to the machine, need more info.

When a machine does an "automatic buttonhole the feed does not move for a few stitches and maay jam if there are too many stitches made in this position. Is it an automatic buttonhole or can you choose how many stitches for your bartack? You ask about 0.5 well that is halfway between 0 and 1 on the stitchlength and this is indeed the recommended setting for buttonholes. If you are doing a manual buttonhole set your machine to this for the sides and zero for the bartacks but you only need about 6-10 stitches on the bartack. Fininsh it off securely by setting to straight stitch and stitch length zero for about 4 stitches to lock the thread in.

Sounds like you may have a blockage somewhere in the bobbin area that needs cleaning as this is normally what happens when it gets jammed. Reverse sewing can sometimes cause jams. Remove bobbin area and reassemble.

get in touch with your salesperson or exchange it. it's in the display lighting probably...
