My thread is looping on the top when my tension is on 4. If I put tension on 1 or almost 0, then it won't loop so bad. Any ideas?
Try changing the needle
thread the machine, use every thread guide
there could also be something wrong with the tension dial, it would
be a good idea to have the tension dial checked
Hi, i have tried all of the suggestions mentioned here, but it's still not helping. I had added my comments below the question. Thank you.
thread tension instructions is on page 15 in the instruction manual for both top & bobbin
OH my gosh!! That was it! The bobbin tension! I never even knew there was an adjustment for that!!! Thanks for helping this beginner!!!!! YEAH!!!

Proper set of bobbins and tension set up vs. fabrics will sew you satified.Also incude regular maintenance cleaning of the feeds dogs with a brus,also the shuttle assembly need sometime to clean.Some threads and fabrics chips accumulates in the feed dogs and shuttles assembly.In setting up thread bobbins the thread should be clockwise direction as you pull out on slot coming out to the bobbins (as you shown in my inserted image manual).The loop thread should be propely in the sequence position same like in the image refer to it.If you use cotton/ polyester fabric in the begining of trial set tension dial to No.3 and stich to No. 8 to 12 any convenient to you Use needle No. 14 .Posible make a record if you are sewing different types of fabric mostly silk fabric is hard to sew adjusting to lower stich can posible sew satisfactory.

hi! there,
on this condition,you can avoid wasting time and material try on this, the problem is your set up of tension thats why.,but you should follow upper theading. see figure,this just sample of exact threading,next bobbins set up see fig.the thread should be clockwise rotation on winderfollow this set up,and upon inserting be sure
you have clean feed dogs and shuttle race free from fabrics and threads chips.set dial tension to #3 to #4 and stitch dial to #12.then try this set.and you can watch on you tube sewing. try this stuff on internet address type www.youtube.com then on search box type sewing machine,have enjoy and have a nice day.don't forget to rate me,
SOURCE: Top thread stitches correctly but bottom thread loops.
FYI---- Loops on the bottom-- problem is in the threading..
Loops on the top--- problem is with the bobbin.
SOURCE: Difficulty adjusting tension to avoid bobbin looping
it sounds like your bobbin tension is too tight. to adjust bobbin tension, remove bobbin case (remove needle plate first) and adjust bobbin tension screw on side of case until bobbin thread has a slight resistance as you pull it through the bobbin case.
this will be trial and error until you get best result. you should always try and match top and bottom threads. if the top thread is quite thick you may have continue to increase needle thread tension until balanced.

Hello,
If you have Increased the upper thread tension on your machine, try these solutions.
* Decrease your bobbin tension if your sewing machine allows you to adjust it. Consult your manual.
* Re-thread your bobbin, It may be threaded incorrectly.
* Reinsert your bobbin, It may be inserted incorrectly.
* Change your thread. If your upper thread and bobbin threads are different types, try using the same thread for both.
I hope this helps.

Thank you all very much. I have double checked the upper thread, the bobbin is also set in the correct direction. cleaned feet and all over. Just sewing on regular cotton fabric, nothing special. Have tried everything. Don't know what else to do. Problem persists.....
oh and i had just changed the needle the other day to a new one. It is insert with flat side facing the back.
Hi thank you all, oops I added my answer to the comment section below the question. But I've thoroughly have checked everything you have suggestion but solution yet....
Still looking for a solution... thank you for your time!
