Tension Is Poor
Corrective Measure(s)
Lint caught under the
tension spring in the
bobbin
• If using short staple threads, inexpensive, or industrial
threads, or coated threads, lint and other material will
build up under the tension spring and begin to lift
the spring, reducing the spring’s ability to compress
against the thread. Insert a pin or the corner of a
business card under the spring and clear out the
lint. The bobbin tension will return close to its preset
tension. Test the tension before quilting.
Hand Wheel Won’t Rotate Corrective Measure(s)
Thread is entangled and
caught in the hook
• There may be a thread lock. With the machine on,
use the onscreen handwheel to break the thread lock.
Quickly move your finger down and up several times.
If this doesn’t solve the problem, turn the machine off
and use the handwheel at the back of the machine to
resolve the thread lock.
There is a thread lock.
• Carefully rock or turn the handwheel in direction of
motion and then the other direction until the thread
lock breaks free. Once the handwheel can be turned
freely, remove the thread from the hook and basket.
Now re-oil the hook and make sure the handwheel
turns freely without the hook hitting the needle. It is
possible for a thread lock to cause a timing problem.
Thread Nests Under Quilt Corrective Measure(s)
Not enough tension on top
thread
• Check that the machine is threaded correctly. Make
certain that the thread is flossed snugly in place
between the two tension discs. If the machine is
threaded correctly, tighten top tension by rotating the
tension knob clockwise. (For more information about
adjusting tension, see
Bobbin and Bobbin Tension
and
Quick-Set Tension
in the
Using Your Machine
section
of this manual.)
Improper threading
• Refer to threading diagram and threading instructions.
