    Oh my goodness!!! Today I had this problem of tension too high on the top, and I was convinced that the top threading was the problem not the bottom. I searched for HOURS. Now I was about to call tomorrow morning the shop where I bought my Brother machine, didn'know if they were going to accept to repair my machine. Then I stumbled on your video, this one is a life saver! I realised that I was not putting my lower bobbin right anymore I was doing it my own way. I had to go back to Brother tutorials to do it right! Problem fixed!!!!!!! 🎉🥳💃

    Thank you very much!! I got a used Brother at a thrift shop and guess I halfway expected it not to work. It was terrible! But after watching your video I decided to check yet again (with my glasses on this time) and sure enough it wasn't threaded properly. Thanks so much for giving that extra encouragement and advise that made me keep on trying. It sews perfectly now. I may even like it better than my current go-to machine.:)

    You’re a life saver !! In the middle of making Christmas gifts , and this loop happens on top stitching ! Thank goodness I found you several months ago and subscribed ! You’re so good at this ... please keep posting so I can watch your videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you 😊! Hope you are doing well. Stay safe please ....our town may have to go to lock down. Neighbouring towns where they are full lockdown are driving to our town to shop, etc and causing our covid numbers to go up. Totally irresponsible people who can’t control themselves. Very selfish people.

      Well, people on lockdown need to shop too, right? So instead of calling other people irresponsible how about you doing the responsible thing take all your precautions and hope for the best. Saying a prayer would also help; but complaining will not. Thanks!

    I have a kenmore sewing machine. Model 385.16242 (which I can not find a manual for online). The problem is that thread bunches on the bottom after about 3-4 inches of sewing. It only bunches for about 3/8 of an inch and then it's fine, and then it bunches on a consistent basis. I have changed the thread, changed the needle, vacuumed it out, and checked the bobbin case for damage. But, I can't see what's wrong. It is going to cost me over a hundred dollars and I will not get my machine back for months. Any idea at to how I could fix this this problem without bringing it in for repair?

    • @susanwages6190
      @susanwages6190 Год назад

      @@SewingMachineRepairGuy yes the spring is good. I just went back and watched the video again and I did notice about the bobbin keeps jumping as you explain that it can. After several times trying to redo the bobbin the correct way, it finally worked. With the bobbin thread jumping, will that cause the thread to break also sometimes? And I also just want to say thank you so much for answering me back. It has been very frustrating trying to figure it out and you have helped so much.

    I’m having the opposite problem. My topstitch looks great, but the bobbin thread is so loose I can pull it out with the slightest tug.
    I have a drop in bobbin. I tightened the tiny screw on the bobbin case, but no results. I’ve threaded and rethreaded over and over.
    What’s strange is that the machine was working great last week. The only thing I did was change to a zigzag, and then back to a straight stitch.

      Could possibly be the thread you are using, make sure it isn't the cheapest thread on amazon. Also, it could be the bobbin tension too loose.
