What causes a sewing machine to stop working?
If your upper thread or your bobbin thread gets a knot or snags on something, this can make your sewing machine stop and jam up. Check your bobbin case to make sure no thread or lint is blocking your hook. Clean your sewing machine frequently to get rid of any lint and thread.
Why does my Bernina sewing machine keep jamming?
The reason for the problem could be lint, dust and other debris getting stuck in their mechanism. The solution: Stop work, lift the presser foot and thoroughly clean the fee dogs from any debris. Also, make sure that they are lifted up in a raised position allowing for a proper grip of the fabric.
Why is my sewing machine not sewing tight enough?
If the bobbin case falls several inches, the bobbin tension is too loose. If the bobbin doesn’t fall at all, the bobbin tension is too tight. There is a small screw on the side of the bobbin. Using the screwdriver in your machine tool kit, turn the screw a quarter-turn right to tighten, left to loosen.
