Tension is Poor
Corrective Measure
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 needle or
business card under the spring and clear out the lint. The bobbin
tension will return fairly close to its preset tension. Test the
tension before quilting.
Hand Wheel Won’t Rotate
Corrective Measure
Thread is entangled and caught in
the hook
•
Turn off the machine and unplug the machine from the electrical
outlet. Lubricate the hook, strongly turn the hand wheel
clockwise and, if necessary, counterclockwise several times.
Then remove the thread caught in the hook.
Thread Nests Under Quilt
Corrective Measure
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 machine is threaded correctly, tighten top tension by
rotating the tension knob clockwise.
Improper threading
•
Refer to threading diagram and threading instructions.
Thread Backlash
Corrective Measure
Bobbin thread tangles within
the bobbin case, tangles and
winds onto the hook spindle, or
occasionally forms loops on the
bottom of the quilt.
•
The bobbin should sit in the bobbin case such that one side is
very minimally above the edge of the bobbin case and if you
lightly press down on the bobbin, it descends slightly into the
case. To adjust the backlash spring, place the bobbin in the case
and hold it with the bobbin facing up. Then use a tiny screw
driver to adjust the screw on the outside front shiny surface of
the bobbin case (not the screw inside the bobbin case). Turn the
screw counterclockwise to raise the backlash spring (and raise
the bobbin) or turn it clockwise to lower the backlash spring
(and lower the bobbin). After making an adjustment, reinsert the
bobbin into the machine, bring up the bobbin thread, and test
stitching. Make additional adjustments if necessary.
Hard to Guide Machine
Corrective Measure
Carriage wheels not centered on
track
•
Center the carriage wheels on top of the continuous track. Check
that the machine carriage has not “jumped” the track.
Thread caught in wheels
•
Remove all thread or debris in wheels. Check that the tracks are
free of lint and threads.
