My embroidery machine is sick.
I think I am going to have to put her in the shop. It is time anyway but the bobbin thread keeps coming through my designs. I find that the thread is getting caught on the way down to the needle. Don't know how to explain. It is getting caught in the path that you thread it. I have tried loosing the tension, don't know how much to loose it. It only happens when embroidering. Can I continue to sew on it or shall I put it aside til I get it serviced?Thank God for having more than one sewing machine.

couple of suggestions maybe you have already these. Change needle and maybe try a different stabilizer. this was a problem I had this solved it for me. Just a suggestion.

674Taking the top cover off should not be difficult. Also running dental floss through the path may also help getting any lint out. Good Luck Live Laugh Download Stitch!

I will try the floss. I would be running through the thread guides, right? That's where the problem is.

Thanks, tried re-threading bobbins, changing bobbin, changing threads, all that.
7314It does sound like you have some tiny thread caught up in the upper tension - best to get it service unless you are game for taking your machine about and using a fine tooth comb to get it out - those service people have much better eyes and use of their hands than I do. Good luck.
You can always try to use your machine - but you might have alot of broken threads and stop and starts - just to warn you before you start.

that was my thought too. Broken threads. I looked at it, as far as I could see. I was afraid to take anything apart because it is a computer. Thank you for your input.
