Correcting Common Issues

 

 

Stitch Quality is Poor 

            Corrective Measure

 

 

Tension is Poor 

            Corrective Measure

• Tension is not balanced

• Bobbin case is damaged, corroded, dirty, 

etcetera

• Moving the fabric or depressing the foot 

pedal inconsistently

• Lint caught under the tension spring in the 

bobbin case

• Poorly wound bobbin

• Adjust the tension of the needle thread 

after ensuring the bobbin tension is adjusted 

correctly 

• Since thread slides over the surface of the 

bobbin case at a high speed, make sure the 

case is free of any lint or foreign matter that 

could impede thread passage through the 

machine.

• The speed setting should be adjusted to a 

value that will allow you to sew comfortably 

and confidently with the foot pedal fully  

depressed. Discover a method of holding  

the fabric that is most comfortable

• With some threads, lint and other material 

can build up under the tension leaf spring 

and begin to lift the spring. This reduces 

the spring’s ability to compress against the 

thread. By inserting a needle under the 

spring and clearing out the lint, the bobbing 

tension will return to the previously set  

tension.

• If the bobbin is wound too tight or too 

loose it can lead to poor and inconsistent 

tension. Make sure when the bobbin is 

wound that the thread tension is not so tight 

that the wound bobbin thread feels hard and 

causes the bobbin sides to bulge. It should 

also not be so loose that the thread is spongy, 

which can cause the thread to tangle as it is 

wound.
