Sharon Gorski Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 The thread is jumping out of the little metal hook while I am quilting. I squeezed it a little tighter ... That didn't help .... And I added batting in the first thread hook above the cone to take off any slack. Any suggestions would be great. Causing me quite the headache and tones of picking out bad stitches Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaahma Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Try putting a thread net over the cone. Worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Sharon: What "little metal hook"? Is it one of the thread guides, or the take up spring? If it's the take up spring, check the position of your three hole thread guide. If it points too much down toward the tension assembly the angle of the thread path won't allow the take up spring to keep the thread taught while the machine is making the stitch, and it might loose "hold" of the take up spring. Also check the finish position of the take up spring. It should be at about 11 "o'clock". If you mean the "shepherd's crook", which I don't think you mean, because bending it would be quite a job, then there's not enough tension on the take up spring. It can be adjusted by removing the tension assembly and rotating the inner part to tighten up the spring. Good luck. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
