The bobbin thread will not come up

I have tried the following to resolve the problem: rethreaded the machine upper thread and the bobbin case, removed the bobbin and case, as well as the shuttle race which I cleaned, oiled and replaced. I changed the needle and the bobbin and still the bobbin thread is not being "pushed up" where the upper thread can bring it up. I'm out of ideas and would appreciate your assistance. Tkyou, Karen.

SOURCE: I have a Brother SE-270D

its the problem of the timing belt in your machine its extra loosen or extra tightned or is slightly came out of its position or finally broken.
as the machine is proper just missing the proper speed as it should be .
it is running continuosly as you stated.
check the timing belt and make it proper if its worn out and needs replacement this is how its done

There is an adjusting screw on the right side of the machine head. Follow the motor bracket to the machine head and loosen that big old screw or bolt which will raise or lower the motor giving you slack to remove or replace the belt.

feel free for further queries
thanks

SOURCE: bottom thread too loose; tried

Check for correct bottom thread tension.
It's provided by a flat spring on the bobbin holder.
When the bobbin is correctly installed, pulling on the thread
should meet with slight resistance, and the bobbin should spin without
trying to jump out of the bobbin holder.

SOURCE: Needle won't pick up bobbin thread. Has been

Most of the time it is because the needle was inserted with the flat side facing you instead of away from you. And for the heck of it, put in a different needle, there may have been a burr or some defect on your new needle. Other than that, it could be your timing.

I have a Beldray 12 Stitch sewing machine my upper thread keeps bunching and catching in my bobbin case. I have rethreaded both my upper and bobbin thread countless times, following the Hobbycraft tutorial...

My first thought from the image is no tension top thread but thread itself looks odd. You have different thread in bobbin... thats ok just noting. As a test, try a different thread and spool on top with tension at 4 and see what it does. Comment below and I or someone will assist further.

Check and rethread upper thread Brother innov is v7 error message

If the display reads "Check and rethread upper thread", follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
1. Upper thread may be broken.
2. Upper thread may be caught on the spool on top of the machine.
3. Upper thread spool may have run out of thread.
4. Replace the needle in the machine with a new needle.
5. Your needle could be bent or burred causing the thread to break.
6. Check that you are using the correct size thread.
- If embroidering, use 40/50 machine embroidery thread on top and 60 weight in bobbin only.
Turn your machine off and rethread the machine from the start.

I have a brother sewing machine cs6000i problem. I receive an E-6 error code, even if I remove the top and bottom threads. The motor makes a terrible noise with or without thread. Help! Monica

Hi there
Q: What does E6 error message mean? A: The motor locked up because thread is tangled Q: How to fix E6 error message? A: Do the following:
  • The upper thread could be tangled. Remove the upper thread and any loose threads. Raise the pressure foot, raise the needle to its highest position and rethread the machine.
  • Remove the bobbin and bobbin case to clean any lint or loose threads. Install the bobbin case so that the projection on it aligns with the spring. Then install the bobbin into the bobbin case.
  • The needle could be bent. Replace the needle making sure the flat side is facing the back.

All best take care Clive

The lower thread on the machine is jumpy, creates a loose (loopy) stitch every 1.5 cms or so. The upper thread is taut, but makes no difference if I put tension dial on lowest setting.

Hm, if the bobbin thread stitch is inconsistent, I would guess it is a problem with the bobbin tension. You might try picking up a new bobbin case for our machine. Bobbin cases do wear out or get damaged or there may even be a burr somewhere that is catching the bobbin thread.

Something else to try, before buying a new bobbin case, is:

Avoid old or bargain bin threads!
Install a brand new needle (compatible with the fabric & thread).
Remove the top thread from the machine.
Try a different brand of thread.
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning.
Set the upper tension to the midway point and test your machine.
Adjust the upper tension until the bobbin and top threads meet in the middle of the fabric.

Bernina activa 130 tension loose after needle breaking into bobbin area

Is it the bobbin tension that is very loose? Try tightening it. Also check that the bobbin has been installed in the bobbin case, turning the correct direction and that the bobbin tension is threaded properly.

Bobbin Tension How and Why Tension is Adjusted

Understanding Bobbin Tension

Understanding Thread Tension Threads

If it is the upper tension that is loose and creating "thread nests" under the fabric, the machine is either misthreaded or possibly the thread is not seated completely in the tension disk.

Remove the upper thread from the machine.
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread the upper thread from the beginning--verify the thread path is correct.
Set the upper tension to the midway point between high & low number (the factory standard--although it may need tweaking later for your particular machine).

Retest your machine. Hopefully, the issue has been resolved. If not, it may need service.

The needle with top thread couldn't draw the bottom thread from the bobbin to ready the machine for sewing

Are you saying that the upper thread is not pulling the bobbin thread up to the top?

Install a brand new needle.

Remove the thread. RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning--allows the thread to seat completely in the upper tension disk.

Check that the bobbin thread is inserted in the bobbin case facing the correct direction and that the bobbin case is threaded correctly through the bobbin case tension. Be sure to leave at least a 6" tail of thread on both the upper and lower threads.

Retest.

If it is still not picking up the bobbin thread, the bobbin case may be defective/malfunctioning or your machine probably needs professional service.

The bobbin thread is not catching. I have rethreaded the entire machine multiple times, tried different bobbins, etc. However, the needle and thread are not catching the bobbin thread. The bobbin thread is...

try a new needle
make sure the bobbin is not warped
make sure the bobbin case area is free of lint or loose thread
make sure you hold the upper thread tail while it's going down to pick up the bobbin thread
make sure there is a 2 to 4 in tail for the upper thread to grab
