redhotmama Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 After winding new bobbin I began having trouble. Needle breaks, needle thread fraying, bobbin thread breaks; threads are so fine 50 in needle and bottom line in bobbin. After tweaking tension it is sewing better but is making a popping or hitting sound when I pull the machine towards me. I've quit for the night and am worried it's going to break another needle. It is better if I slow down, but is dense quilting I'm doing. Also, I am in manual mode. I have an appointment for maintenance next week but hate to not work for six days.... Any ideas? I know I should do my own maintenance but who has time to learn another thing? I be too busy learning creative stuff! TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingpup Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Have you tried changing your needle? Is it the right size? bobbin in the right way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 It sounds like the needle might be hitting the hook. Is the needle installed properly? Remove the needle,and then re-install it, making sure it's both facing the hook properly, and fully inserted into the needle bar. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
