I have a Necchi 535 sewing machine and the thread tangles
I have a Necchi 535 sewing machine. It sews forwards fine but when I back stitch at the ends of seams the thread gets tangled underneath where the bobbin. Help!
Re: I have a Necchi 535 sewing machine and the thread...
If the thread under the fabric is a matted mess
1.the needle thread tension is to loose
2.needle is either to heavy or to fine for the thread
3.check to make sure the thread isn't off the thread take-up lever

Use a brand new needle that is a suitable type for the fabric and thread you are sewing. If sewing knit, use a ball-point needle. If sewing woven fabrics, use a sharp needle (ie universal,
Use good quality sewing thread--no old or bargain bin variety.
Be sure to install the needle facing the correct direction. On most machines, the flat side of the needle faces the back of the machine, however, if the bobbin loads on the left side (not from the front), the flat side should face the throat of the machine.
There could also be a burr somewhere that is catching the thread and causing the skipped stitch.
Hm, I'm not able to locate a manual but may be able to offer some suggestions.
Remove the top thread from the machine.
AVOID OLD OR BARGAIN BIN THREAD!
Use the same thread in top and bobbin.
Be sure to use a brand new needle--needs to be compatible with the thread and fabric of the project..
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning.
Set the top tension to the midway point.
Verify the bobbin is loaded and threaded correctly and it turns the correct direction.
Pull the bobbin thread up through the fabric before taking the first stitch. It also helps to hold both thread tails in your left hand when taking the first stitches.
Test your machine and tweak the top tension until the top and bobbin threads meet in the middle of the fabric. (Increased top tension will pull the bobbin thread up. Decreased top tension will allow the bobbin thread to pull the top thread down.)

Does this happen with every spool of thread? If so, you either aren't starting the seam correctly or have slightly misthreaded, or the machine is in need of adjustment. See: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/22521551 Thread the machine with the presser foot up. Put it down to sew. Hold both the bobbin and top thread ends together behind the presser foot for the first few stitches of each seam -- then you can drop and sew normally. Not all machines need to have the thread ends held, but enough do that you might as well get in the habit.
If you can't adjust the bobbin tension, adjust the top tension. Also the lower thread needs to be pulled to your left (away from presser foot) before you start sewing, this avoids tangles.
Try moving the stitch length dial to 4 or 5 - check the manual. You may have it in the position for very close together sewing. I had to do a lot of trying with my 4795 to get it to work right. I found that very thin thread, polyester kind, broke at the needle after a couple of stitches. I switched to coats & clarks thread and a Singer ball point needle and it works fine. Be sure your needle is inserted with the flat top toward the back of the machine. Good luck!
