Why is there no upper tension on my brother SE-270D. If I replace the thread cartrage will this fix the problem?

How to fix no upper tension? I took the machine to a local sewing machine shop and they can't frigure out why there is not any upper tension and would like to know if I replace the thread cartrage if that would fix the problem or if it is something else?

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

The safety device will activate if the machine has a bind or is unable to run at correct speed. If you turn the handwheel is it tight/hard to turn? if it is than thats it. Now what is binding the machine has to be diagnosed.

if thread is good quality you may have a sharp groove in your needle plate hole from needle breakage. if so, polish with emery tape.

A bent needle will cause this. Otherwise the shuttle is out of time, have it serviced..

Mine was doing the same thing, it wasn't threading right. The thing that pulls the thread down to the needle was out of place, and it wasn't wrapping the thread around the tension. Hope this helps!

THREAD POPS

Is it perhaps poor quality thread? Avoid old or bargain bin threads,. Also, might try a brand new needle of the type suitable for your thread and fabric. Have you verified the needle eye is the correct size for the thread?

Having issues with my Se-270D can you help

The brother machines are notorious for jamming if there is even a tiny bit of lint in the machine. Take out your bobbin, unscrew the plate, take out the bobbin holder. Use a pipe cleaner or paint brush to brush all around inside the machine and pull out any little threads/lint that has collected in there. Replace the bobbin holder by lining up the screw toward the front. Replace the plate and screws. Make sure your bobbin doesn't have any little nicks around the edges that could catch thread. Replace the bobbin and rethread. Replace your needle (this needs to be changed often) rethread your upper thread. Test stitch.

The thread is bunching underneath the material and the stitching is very loose

Usually that is due to insufficient upper tension OR a thread routing problem. Make sure when the presser is lowered that the upper tension activates. I think if one had really thick material the tension MIGHT not activate because the lever would not come down far enough.

Check that the needle is in right... usually the long groove is closest to the operator.

Bobbin thread pulls to the top with all but Brother brand

Your machine was designed to work with the Brother brand of bobbin thread. Any other thread will cause tension issues. If you want you machine to work with another brand of bobbin thread I suggest purchasing an additional bobbin case and have it calibrated for use with the other brand of thread.

Brother SE-270D - need timing instructions

If your machine bunch up the tread, it has nothing to do with timing. In 90% of the cases the problem lies with the top thread. Check your tension disks for any fluff or thread. Also check that you thread the machine correctly. The best way to check the tension is to thread the machine normally with the presser foot up. when you get to the stage of the threading the needle, first lower the presser the presser foot and check the tension by pulling the thread slowly with your right hand and adjust the tension with your left hand. On zero you should be able to pull freely and on 5 there should be enough resistance. If this is the case your machine should sew perfectly.
Hope this help
