‘Rethread your machine’ is the sewing version of ‘have you tried turning it off and on again?’

I really need to thank you. I've been trying to get rid of this bird nesting for 4 hours. I rethreaded, I threaded a new bobbin etc. It was so simple what was happening. I did not thread the up correctly. I followed your guide and it was magic. Thank you so much.

Hi, thanks for the info. I thought this problem was caused by the bobbin tension so I slightly tightened it and it seemed to make a difference but didn't get perfect. Then I loosened the tension on the top and it started getting better then I loosened in a little more and it works great now. Thank you very much for the video

Thank you, this guide was VERY helpful 😊 I finally broke out the book (the thread kept breaking at the needle). I found I had it threaded all wrong 😂 Singer 1408, I threaded it correctly, then was able to fix my wife's dress. She was so happy! I took sewing in school, but that was SO many years ago. I did a zigzag to fix the shredded material, then folded the seam and ran a straight stitch over that. It's hardly detectable now 😊 Thanks again for going over the basics!

Ever since I broke a needle and replaced it, my machine wouldn't sew. I thought the timing was off, but I don't know how to fix that. When I saw the tip about putting the flat of the needle to the back, I checked my machine. Yes! I switched the flat to the back and now it's making stitches again. Thank you!

Rather than storing my thread in the open, such as hung on a wall organiser, I now store all my thread in an enclosed box/storage container. This helps it from drying out or deteriorating over time.

You said to rethread my machine, which I had done many times, but my thread spool holder was not keeping my spool of thread tight. A tiny piece of masking tape solved the problem until I can get a replacement.

Good info Jan. I keep my needles in one of those plastic divider cases with a closing lid that has multiple sections (1x1 or 2x2) & I put the different needle cases (jersey, universal, denim or serger, embroidery etc) in it’s own section so that they are all located in one place & that I can tell when my supply is running low. But the best part is that when I go to change the needle, that needle case is left at the front/center of the divider in it’s own section so that I always know (later when I’m distracted or haven’t sewn for awhile-lol) what kind of needle is in the machine. It works great & hope someone can find this tip useful.

I got rid of a machine about 10yrs ago because it was doing the “nests” and I really couldn’t think of this in a “mechanical manner” so I became frustrated…my sister who is mechanically inclined told me it was a tension problem. I needed some lessons to understand the solution to these problems, but there was nothing like we have now….so thanks! I am a visual learner.

For me it was the rethread (2:37) that fixed the problem. At that fourth step shown labeled on the machine I didn't have it hooked to that little metal thingy, and it caused the whole bottom thread to be shred into pieces and some ended up entangled at the bottom and if not that it caused the whole machine to buzz loudly and stop. I'd taken some sewing classes but admittedly it's been 10 years since then !

We had an old Singer Machine (vintage style). It was causing the same issues and the issue was that the teeth that were supposed to forward the cloth were not engaging properly. That is they were not coming up properly. Being an old singer machine, it had screws and adjuster for everything. Fixed the teeth issue and now its sewing new.

@JanHowell 20 күн бұрын
It's hard to say, not knowing your machine. But it sound like to me that the bobbin isn't being put in place correctly. Does it snap in place when you insert it. The needle of your machine needs to be in the most upright position for the bobbin to go in place correctly. You may need to turn the handwheel on the side of your machine to move the needle up.

i have a brother NQ575 that is 2 wks old. It was doing well until a couple days ago. I got top stitch a design on my table top and we're going along and then it just got into a spot and bunched on the bottom and made a nest. I have gray on top and brown in the bobbin and it is also pulling the top thread and mixing with the brown. I've rethreaded everything a number of times and it still does the same thing. I've tried dif tensions and nothing is working. The store i got it from keeps telling me user error. Well Im not that unfamiliar with what I'm doing. I've read thru the book, troubleshooted and nothing is working. Is this an out of whack issue with the machine. I am so frustrated already. can you give me a few more things to try that i havent tried. Thanks

I love your easy tips. I have a problem that I haven't seen. I'm missing a bottom Stitch occasionally, not at regular intervals. On top it looks fine but underneath there are places where it didn't catch the top. I can pull it loose on the top in those places, but it looks like it went fine. That's actually what happened. I finished sewing, turned out over & wanted to cry. Any thoughts are welcome.

You may want to check to make sure the needle is put in all the way. If its been a while since you changed your needle, you may want to do that and sometimes the timing can be off on your machine, which a mechanic can do really easy.

Yes bird nesting but worse the spool will not allow the thread into the little notch and under the metal slice which normally allows the thread through a little space at its end. I have put the spool in every which way and it just wont go in that notch. Had spool facing backwRds forwardsm upside n et

My Singer sewing machine once had a tension stitch problem..nesting..loose back stitch..breaking of the needles..then after a lot of trouble shooting it was actually the thread..it only wants Globe threads..I mean the brand of the thread should be just Globe..it doesn't go well with Moon or Trident

Hey Jan! Thank you for all the effort you put in these videos, I learned some much! My issue looks similar to what you have on your fabric with the blue thread. There’s no bird nesting or puckering when I sew, but whenever I do a backstitch it starts getting tangled and loopy 😔 any advice?
@JanHowell
@JanHowell Жыл бұрын
Yes, in most of my tutorials I show how to not get the nesting at the first of your stitching. CLICK ON THIS LINK AND IT WILL TAKE YOU TO THAT TIP kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gLOAm7Vqmqm4e5s.html

Thank you for the imformational video! If I may ask a question, what does it mean when your thread nots up on the string attached to the bobin?
@JanHowell
@JanHowell 3 ай бұрын
Sounds like an issue with the bobbin. I would make sure the bobbin has been threaded correctly and even the top of the machine threaded correctly. It may also be due to the quality of thread you are using.
