Hahahaha! You literally solved all of my issues. Thank you, I'll be watching more of your videos.

Thank you so much for explaining the possible problems so well!! I have been sewing for over 50 years and finally learned how to adjust the tension!! I have a 14?year old Bernina that just gave me a motor failed msg. So I took out my mom’s old Singer, set it up only to find that the tension was awful and the stitch didn’t look right. Got online and discovered that it needed a different size needle and bobbins. After replacing those and watching your videos my stitch is great and I can finish up my holiday sewing!! Always something else to sew!! Thanks a bunch again!!

Thank god I found this vid! Dude I took my sewing machine apart to see how it works on the inside… I knew the problem was something with tension… the presser foot has to be up when you thread the needle! 🤦🏼‍♀️🎉🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thank you for the help and yes something simple was wrong.

Hello! Another fun chat to listen to while I hand quilt! I just want you to know how much I enjoy your channel's content. I hope you have a cheerful week ahead! Thank you for sharing this video and your time.

All excellent tips. I especially like the way you explain how to be sure we are putting our bobbins into our machines correctly. The number six illustrations is a great one and easy to remember.

[janicedeschenes]

Thank you. It worked. My bobbin thread wasn't being picked up. I was going to buy a new machine. Thank you again very much. You are greatly appreciated. 😊

Thank you for the common sense reminders. I just went through cleaning out my machine and was ready to throw it out the window, because it wouldn’t sew right. I finally rethreaded it, and now it works fine. Sewing 101. Duh.

[terrihasstedt]

Thanks, it helps to remember the basics, like go to sleep and try again tomorrow...

I just experienced trouble #1. Thanks for letting me know! ✌️😉😃

[ceasharpful]

Thank you so much for your troubleshooting video. After showing your video to my wife she had a light bulb moment when you mentioned the “bird nest” issue and how to resolve that, and sure enough that was the issue. You are awesome, thank you and best to you always. 😎

[Cleo]

Wow, thanks for all the tips. I am sure they wil help keep me sewing.

[sophiastamatis]

I just love your training videos. Very well explained. Thank you ❤️

[michellewohlgemuth]

Thanks for the info! I knew about the bird's-nest fix, but the dull-needle-knock I need to go fix now. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[deniseoffenbacher]

Great info love when you do these tutorials on machines

[lindabrown]

Just subscribed. Great video. I have a friend who had the tension on her machine set incorrectly. Having sewn for a long time, I can tell when the tension is wrong by pulling the thread. I was able to fix that for her. Another friend never cleaned her machine and was having trouble. I explained to her over the phone what to do and her machine works fine now!

[jrecipes]

Thank you so much for your tutorial and very useful information! This saved me tremendous amount of time and money!

[solalehemadi]

Thank you for the info. I had made so many birds nest unnecessarily!😄 Now I know what to do. 👍🏼🙏🏼

[Mikeandjudysherman]

#1 and #4 and rethread a couple times. That did it! Thanks for saving me $$$

[michaelwierenga]

Thank you! Was super frustrated with the problems and could not sort it out! Hopefully the quilt will now get done..
