TANGLING OF THE THREAD.

 Dear VIDA,

There are a number off things that might cause the threads to tangle.

1. Everything might be done correctly, but when you start sewing you need to hold the top thread that is hanging behind the presser foot tightly without pulling it. Hold it for at least two stitches.

2. Make sure you bring the bobbin thread to the top after inserting the bobbin case

3. Check to see that the bobbin thread tension is okay (not too loose not too tight)

4. Check the top thread tension as well again (not too loose not too tight)

5. It could also be that the needle is not inserted correctly (in the right direction or not inserted all the way up in it's place)

6. Also check to make sure that the bobbin is inserted in the bobbin case correctly

7. The bobbin case should also be inserted correctly

8. If the bobbin is wound loosely you might experience tangling as well

9. Also if the thread is too tick for the needle or too stiff the thread might tangle

10. Both the top and bobbin threads should be the same material and thickness

11. Make sure that the needle point is not blunt

I suggest you re-watch the sewing machine essentials video lessons again. Watch the lessons with the machine that is similar to yours and then the sewing section as well.

Hope this helps,

Nehzat

God bless you Nehzat for your counsel.

I will surely act on it and  give you a feed back.

Thanks.

 Dear Nehzat, I carried out your sugestions but the top thread still tangles on the area where the bobbin is inserted.I also observed from the little number of stitches achieved,that the down thread is not sewing,despite being picked up by the needle,via the foot press before the commencement of sewing. Of course the usual ceasure ,pulling and cutting off the thread continues to dampen my zeal for sewing.When I removed both the top and down thread,the machine runs pretty good without them.Just wish I can sew without threading.Please your advice will be apreciated.THANKS FOR YOUR BIG  HEART OF LOVE.GOD BLESS  AND STRENGHTEN YOU FOR THE GOOD WORK YOU ARE DOING.

Hi Vida,

If you are doing everthing correctly then perhaps there is some problems with the sewing machine. 

Did you get the Singer sales people to demo to you on the basics of the particular model that you bought?  Perhaps you could take the sewing machine back to the shop and request that they look into your problem.  Afterall it is still under warranty.

Just my 2 cents.

Barbara

Dear Vida,

I agree with Barbara, the best thing to do is to take in your machine to the store you got it from or somewhere where they sell or repair them and have someone look at it for you. There might be a mechanical problem with it.

Don't give up, it will be fixed or replaced soon.

Nehzat

Thanks Barbara & Nehzat.

I will take the machine back to the store from where I bought it, for them to look at it or replace it.

I still have the fire  for sewing.Be sure  to be briefed  later.

God bless you .

Vida.

Thanks to every one that counseled and suported me during my trials with my new singer hand -sewing machine.I returned it to the shop where I bought it and they carried out some adjustments and demontrations for me.Now my machine is working perfectly well. I apreciate your love, especially Nehzat and Barbara. God bless you all.

Vida.

Most welcome Vida.

So glad that your machine is working super well!  And thanks for letting us know.
