Thread "puke" on the bottom of your sewing, you have an upper threading issue.

Thread "puke on the top of your sewing, you have a bobbin threading issue.

 

Easy rule to remember!

 

Remember to always use the correct bobbin! Bobbins That Work

I would like to tell you the story behind me getting a sewing machine. In 2003 my mother had died from her triple by pass. I had kept most of her clothes  and thought To make a quilt, The only experience I had with a sewing machine was in high school and didn't like it only because of the teacher I had..lets say it wasn't a fun time for me. So, the machine sat waiting to be used. The first thing I made with it was a memory flag. Yes, you heard me. SO new at it, Yet , it turned out so well, I was proud of myself. The first year after her death, I placed it out on my porch. It started to tether, learning I need to use bias tape .. it went back into storage until I moved. when I brought it out again It wouldn't sew or make a stitch, I didn't know what I did. I gave up and placed it on a site called free cycle to see if anyone wanted it , since it wasn't working for me. I did get help from that site and a dear friend who is a master at sewing. That I needed to turn up the tension. NOW>... that is telling you something about me. I KNEW NOTHING... and was willing to give away a good new machine , all because I had no idea how to use it. I am grateful to those who jumped in to help . because of their help I was able to make my first pillow with pieces of clothing and buttons from my mothers things. Because of this site I learn more each and every day I am deeply grateful faith jumped and placed it in my way. I learn so much . THANK YOU ALL

if you have one of these Sailrites just go on their website and they have lots of videos on you tube as well

I would love to see more videos like this concerning easy to do mistakes on the machine itself.  So many things can be fixed by yourself if you only know what the issue is.  This instructor was very straight forward and easy to understand.

I just bought this machine last week.  Have not had alot of time on it but it goes through a pile of denim nicely with perfect tension. 

Let you know more when I have played around.
