Check with your manual and rethread according to the instructions including the bobbin. Use a good quality of thread and change the needle as well in case it's bent or worn.

Testimonial: "I have done everything except adjust timing. I have already... 1) Re-threaded machine and verified that it is threaded correctly by pulling on the thread that comes out of the needle while raising the presser foot and pulling thead. And then pulli ng thread with presser foot down. 2) Re-threaded bobbin and made sure it was going counter clockwise. 3) Cleaned machine. 4) Checked tension. 5) Replaced the needle. 6) The needle is Not striking anything. I WILL continue trying different things."

IT PROBABLY IS THREADED INCORRECTLY. GO SLOWLY BY THE DIAPHRAGM AND MAKE SURE IT IS THREADED CORRECTLY. ALSO MAKE SURE SPOOL PIN HOLDERS ARE IN PLACE THAT HELPS TO GUIDE THE THREAD CORRECTLY.

SOURCE: thread knotting around bobbin case

hello, I had the exact same problem and could not find the solution until i took my machine to my sewing sensei and i solved my tedious problem. It was actually not a tension problem at all but a threading problem. Make sure you have threaded your bobbin correctly and that when you pull on the bobbin thread that the bobbin turns the right way. (mine must spin anti clockwise to work) Make sure that when you pull up the bobbin thread using the needle that it is not over the feed dogs connective bar but under it. A big problem when the thread gets caught around the bobbin case wheel is that the thread is looped around the feed dogs once and that causes the thread to get caught around the bobbin wheel. In conclusion, thread the bobbin correctly and read over your instruction book before spending the money to get it fixe in s shop.

SINGER TOUCHTRONIC 2001 How do I remove the bobbin case to try to clean out any threads or fuzz? See previous question regarding ratty loopy knotted bobbin threads on the underside of my seams.

Actually, the touch 'n sew machines, don't HAVE a bobbin case. What you see when you remove the bobbin is the bobbin basket. On other machines, the case goes in the basket, but on those there is none.

However, generally you can remove the bottom of the case relatively easily without having to remove anything else, and it will allow you to see and remove any debris that has fallen below the basket.

What you're experiencing may be because you didn't raise the presser foot when you are threading. That is the only time the upper tension disks that apply tension to the thread are spread, so that you can thread in between them. If you don't do that, either the thread isn't getting any tension at all when you're sewing, or the thread is only in the outer part of the disk, so not enough tension is being applied.

Although I have known that for many years, occasionally I forget myself--it's easy to forget.

How to replace bobbin assembly correctly on my singer merritt 4530 ? the threads been getting caught all around the bobbin assembly.

Yes, it should, and you might want to download your user's manual free at the Singer website, because replacing the bobbin case is pictured there.on page 41, along with instructions.

However, I can tell you that the feed dog plate with the two screws in is DESIGNED to be removed, and must be removed to get the bobbin case back in. It's important that you follow the instructions; the case must be inserted correctly so that it does NOT move, and make sure that it sits evenly in the bobbin basket (the thing that holds the bobbin case. While you are at it, you might want to also clean the basket, using q-tips with a drop of ONLY sewing machine oil on the cotton, making sure you also get under the lip before you put the bobbin case back in.

The bottom thread gets all knotted up when I sew... everything locks up and there is a mess of thread on the underside of what I'm trying to sew. help?

The tension in the top thread is controlled by a dial, and the tension in the bottom thread is controlled by a small screw on a spring on the bobbin. The tensions are supposed to be exactly equal in order to make the stitch perfectly in the middle of the cloth. Uneven tension will pull the stitch up or down from there. You can tug on each thread to feel how much tension there is. Often the bottom will get too much tension by just inserting the bobbin upside down. Leave the bobbin door open, and watch the operation. The top thread is pulled down around the bobbin. See if it is getting caught on anything?
