I found out that by spraying silicone on each side of joins that it made the fabric glide through the feed dog real easy, this really works well, make sure that the silicone is suitable for sewing machines.

Testimonial: "thanks this was great really works well"

Can someone help me with this problem, all stitches have this problem. The machine is a Brother FS70WT. thank you

Looping on wrong (bottom) side of fabric is almost always insufficient tension of top thread.

The fabric appears to be multiple layers high density so it will take a higher than typical tension setting.

You can easily verify it is top thread looping on bottom by using a different color top thread. Using a different color top thread will also aid in setting the proper tension as you'll be able to see bottom thread eventually come to top side as you increase tension. Then reduce tension until stitch returns to center of fabric layer.

My Brother 8500 brakes the needle when embroidering...what it could be?

Suspect uneven feed of top thread.

Manual for reference if needed.

Please check the following;
  • This machine has a horizontal spool. Try using a spool cap that is slightly larger than the spool. Verify spool is in proper orientation, and threaded per instruction. See page 19.
  • Embroider foot "Q" is installed per manual instructions. See page 32-33.
  • Feed dogs are down (supposed to happen when automatically table is installed but check and make sure).


There should be no looping of thread on bottom side. This would indicate top thread tension is too loose or uneven feed (spool cap and/or orientation). Suggest you preset tension prior to installing table using normal presser foot and single layer of same fabric and same thread. Select a straight short stitch (machine default) and tension 4. With a single layer of fabric, tension at 4 is likely high and you will see bottom thread loop on top side so slowly reduce tension until bottom thread no longer shows on top, Then switch to embroider setup and test run.

Comment below with results and I'll assist further if need be.

What are the most effective UV-blocking curtains to use for preserving antique fabrics and books?

Curtain is essential in our day to day life. Its like a fence that our home is protect from various things like harmful UV sun rays, external noise and keep privacy from others. So, its a big matter to choose a right one to decor or keep the home as a nice pattern or shape. I recommended that Blackout curtain are easily block out maximum sunlight and lower external noise is really adorable for any home. I think blackout curtain is the best for light sleeper and who's have insomnia. Because of blackout curtain make the room environment as a dark cave that easily brings sleep. https://depthreviews.com/best-blackout-curtains

My Brother LS 2160 is threaded but not stitching

Hi there Kathryn... when you load/thread the top cotton through the machine.... and then through the eye of the needle.... do you also load the bobbin case... or is it already in there and loaded as per instructions... ? What I normally do... is load up the bottom and top threads first.. making sure to put the top thread through the needle and make the thread end go through and behind the 'foot'... when placing on fabric to try... I make sure to load the fabric... with the top thread's tail going out through the presser foot and behind your foot.. sometimes.. if its the thread (some machines don't like certain threads)... I will manually (wind the right hand wheel) so that the machine does a few stitches.. before I use my foot pedal!.. I have both a serger/overlocker... and a Brother 8500 (sewing/embroidery machine).. I have been sewing for over years now...
You will need to change your needle... when you've used it for more than 6-7 hours continuously.. OR you notice that the stitches are not as they should be... in your fabric...

I just got a Brother CS600i as a gift. The decorative stitches are appearing on the bottom side of the fabric NOT the top. Flip the fabric over and the decorative stitch is perfect and beautiful. To me,...

Usually it is the opposite problem of what you think, try rethreading your machine , because the bobbin thread has to lock on to the top thread. Try this test, with presser foot up, pull top & bottom threads, they should pull smoothly, now lower presser foot and pull again, they should barely move. Try your tension at 3 and your length longer. If that doesn't seat your thread in the tension discs, I don't know what will. You can always call Brother at 1-877-276-8437 and ask if you got a dud and what you can do about it.
