Bobbin falls out of its place

My bobbin falls out when I begin to sew. I've checked the tension rings- ok, the bobbin is threaded correctly. It started doing this after I changed a broken needle.

The tip of the needle may be loged in the inside of the hook so the bobbin does not fit flush. do u hear a click when inserting the bobbin case?

SOURCE: Bobbin thread breaks

Make sure your bobbin thread is turning clockwise as it sits in the bobbin case. There is a screw on the outside of the bobbin case you can turn with your thumb slightly to adjust tension. If you dangle the case from the thread and give it a light ****, it should move down slightly when doing so-an indicator of good bobbin tension.

SOURCE: Top thread won't pick up the bobbin thread

re insert the needle, maybe you did not put the needle up as far as it is to go. Make sure the flat side of the needle is to the back of the machine. Without any thread in the machine hand turn the wheel and look to see if the hook of your bobbin would/could catch the thread (to see if timing is right)
then thread the machine and hand turn the wheel and see what it is doing.
Your timing might be off, but I do not think that is likely. Though it is possible that when the needle fell out, it hit something hard, broke, and pushed the machine out of timing. then you need to bring it in.

SOURCE: needle will not pick up bobbin thread when sewing

double check the upper and lower tensions they often need to be changed to suit types of fabric and threads

My new Juki tl2000qi is sewing the begining of the top thread into the beginning bottom tlstitches. Does anyone know how to stop this from happenong or why it is?

  1. Needle: The needle may not be installed correctly, or it may be damaged. A bent or dull needle can cause thread tangling and result in the beginning of the top thread getting sewn into the bottom stitches.
  2. Threading: The threading could be incorrect, or the thread tension may be too tight or too loose. Check the threading and make sure it's correct, and adjust the tension as needed.
  3. Bobbin: The bobbin may not be inserted correctly, or the bobbin case may not be installed properly. Make sure the bobbin is inserted correctly and the bobbin case is properly installed.
  4. Needle Plate: The needle plate may be damaged or not properly aligned. Check the needle plate and make sure it's not damaged and that it's properly aligned.
  5. Upper threading tension: The tension in the upper threading may be too tight or too loose. Adjust the upper threading tension as needed.

Problem with singer 590c. Thread bunches up & breaks or the bobbin thread wont sew. 1 time happened to get everything right & it sewed beautifully.Today I cant get it to pick up the bobbin thread.

Make sure to use a brand new needle.
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot when threading.
Unthread and re-thread from the beginning.
Verify the thread path is correct.
Set the upper tension to midway between High & Low numbers.
Verify the bobbin is loaded and threaded correctly in the bobbin case.
Begin sewing slowly and check the result. The upper tension can be tweaked so the upper & bobbin threads meet in the middle of the fabric.

If it is still not working properly, the machine may be out of time and require service.

The top of the stitching is so loose, it can be pulled out with no effort. Have retreaded several times, used manual as guide. Tension is on 4, stitch length on 2.5 and stitch width on A.

Remove the upper thread. Install a brand new needle

RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning--make sure the thread path is correct.

Set the upper tension at the midway point which is usually the factory standard. This is a beginning point. Every machine is different and may require some tweaking to get the stitch tension where you want it.

Make sure the bobbin is inserted in the bobbin case and turning the correct direction and the bobbin tension is threaded correctly.

Retest your machine.

If the bobbin thread is tight and still pulling the upper thread down, either tighten the upper tension slightly and retest. If it is still the case, then the bobbin tension probably needs to lightened up slightly.

The tension is correct when both threads meet in the middle of the fabric.

I have a janome 8200, when sewing the top stitch is perfect but top thread bunch under neath and no bobbin thread appears to be used, I have changed threads, bobbins and needle,

Be sure to use a brand new needle.

Remove the thread from the machine. ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread the upper thread. This allows the tension disk to release so the thread will seat properly. Verify that the thread path is correct.

Check that the bobbin is installed correctly (turning the proper direction in the bobbin case) and the bobbin case tension is threaded correctly.

Set the upper tension to the midway point. (This is the beginning point and may need tweaking later.)

Pull the bobbin thread to the top of the sewing project.
How and Why to Bring up the Bobbin Thread P.S.--this works with regular sewing, not just for quilting.

Lower the presser foot and test your machine. Begin sewing slowly.

If there are still issues--upper thread looping, try tightening but if it doesn't improve, the tension mechanism may not be working properly. Check and remove any thread pieces or gunk stuck in the tension mechanism. If still not working, it probably needs service.

If the bobbin thread is still not connecting with the upper thread, the sewing machine's timing is most likely off. (Search the internet for "sewing machine timing." There are multiple web sites and videos available that discuss this OR take it for service.)

Upside down stitching

Am having a difficult time picturing this. Sounds like the upper thread is creating loops under the fabric and the bobbin thread is showing on the top of the fabric.

Make sure to use a brand new needle.

Remove the thread from the machine
ALWAYS raise the presser foot and rethread the upper thread.
Make sure the thread path is correct.

Check that the bobbin is turning the correct direction in the bobbin case and the bobbin thread is threaded through the bobbin tension correctly.

Set the upper tension to the midway point (factory standard), however, this setting may need to be tweaked for your particular machine.

Bring the bobbin to the top of the project Before beginning to stitch.
How and Why to Bring up the Bobbin Thread

Retest--begin sewing slowly.

If the upper thread is still showing on the other side of the fabric, the tension is too loose. If it is pulling the bobbin thread up to the top of the fabric, the upper tension is too tight

OR the bobbin thread tension is too loose. (CAUTION: make only small adjustments to bobbin tension--1/8 of a turn at a time!!! It also helps to mark the screw groove location with magic marker on the bobbin case BEFORE making any changes so you can back it out and return to the original setting.)

Top thread is hanging up somewhere under feed dogs. With and without bobbin in place. Any suggestions.

1. Make sure to adjust the bobbin tension. Also, make sure the bobbin is correct for the machine. If it is too tall it will surely have problems. (see attachment for bobbin tension adjustment)
2 Always thread your machine with the pressure foot up. As you thread give gentle tugs to check for hang ups. This has to be corrected.
3. Adjust the top tension to four to begin with. Final tension adjustment can be made when you give a trial sew.
*Always oil race w/one drop of oil before the bobbin case is placed back. This is done only about every 10000 stitches.

Brother QS9050

Ok, by funky bobbin thread, do you mean the thread problem is on the underside of the fabric? That generally indicates a top thread issue.

I suspect this may be bird nesting or thread nesting, most often caused when the thread is not fully seated in the tension disk. This is probably the #1 reason I see with sewing machine issues.

Remove the top thread completely from the machine.
Install a brand new needle.
IMPORTANT! ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning. Verify the thread path is correct.
Retest the machine and tweak the tension, if needed.

Brother cs-6000 will not sew, the top thread go through and tangles on back, and the bobbin thread is a straight line and can be easily pulled out, please help, trying to make kids school clothes

Hi:

Ok... so try to remember that loopy stuff on top means the bobbin tension is too loose (or the top tension is too tight...)

Loopy stuff on bottom, means the top tension is too loose. (or it's not threaded right)

Now. Get some scrap of the same material. Loosen that bobbin back to where it was. RETHREAD the top, with the foot in the UP position.

Place your scrap under the foot, and sew. still have problem? clip your threads and try again only this time hold the top and bottom threads off to the side as you begin to sew. How did that do?

Adjust the top tension to the point where you start seeing the bobbin thread come up in loops to the top... then back off until the disappear.

Now... be sure you have the correct thread and needle for your fabric. A lot of problem are caused by not having the proper needle and thread.

After I sew I can pull the bottom stitching right out. What causes this? Help

The problem is most likely thread tension. First try loosening the upper thread tension (numbered wheel on left side of most machines), if this doesn't rectify the problem then check the bobbin case tension. Correct bobbin case tension can be verified by holding the bobbin case with bobbin inserted and thread extended several inches. If you grasp the thread the bobbin case should not descend rapidly (fall) but should unspool slightly when thread is quickly tugged upward. Please refer to attached picture or your owner's manual.azcouture_1.jpg

Underneath stitch bad

Sometimes even though the tension is at recommeded placement, you may find with various fabrics or threads, you have to adjust it. I would try to raise the tension just a bit. Try it a little at a time until you achieve a stitch you are happy with. If adjusting the tension does not correct the problem, double check your threading. If sure it is threaded properly, especially going through the tension assembly...check your thread. I have found that the thread you use can and often does create tension problems. Try changing the thread and see if the stitch quality improves.
