SOURCE: problem adjusting tension when sewing. Could be
the bobbin tension should never need to be adjusted! however, it MIGHT need it, but highly unlikely. check which of them needs changing by sewing a dark thread onto a light piece of material (or vice versa). this makes it easier to see what's happening. any thread which is looped through to the other side is too loose. if a thread is stretched very tightly it needs to be slackened. try to adjust the reel tension first as this is usually the problem.

"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.

Before changing the tension settings, be sure to thead the machine with the presser foot up as this also has a tremendous effect on the tension and formation of the stitch.

With the embroidering, some of the bobbin thread is SUPPOSED to show on the top of your embroidery-the machine isn't doing anything incorrectly. You'll need to thread your bobbin with the same thread as you are using with the top. I had the same "problem" when I first got the machine and took it to a wonderful local technician whose helped me with a lot of things who informed me that this is perfectly normal on embroidery machines.

try adjusting the top thread tension to one number higher at a time until the stitches start looking right
