Machine quilting question
What is wrong with my stupid sewing machine?!?!I am trying to machine quilt
my quilt, and everything was going fine until one of the threads started
looping on top of the quilt.....l checked the manual and it said l needed
to adjust the tension.l adjusted it, and it worked fine for maybe 2
squares, and now the thread coming down to the needle keeps
breaking!ARGH!!!!l am ready to throw the thing!What am l doing wrong???l

Take ur bobbin out & check it & reinstall the bobbin. also
clip ur top thread near the spool & pull it through from the needle.
clean the bobbin area & check for packed lint. oil as instructed in the
manual before putting the bobbin back in the machine. be sure to clean
under the feed dogs. i put a drop of oil on a q-tip & use it to clean
lint out - it acts as a magnet for the lint. & try again other than that
you need a Bernina - love mine & wouldn't own anything else!
Definitely replace the needle, & make sure you are using the
right size needle & the right size thread. Are you trying to machine quilt
with hand-quilting thread, or are you using a needle that is meant for
skinnier thread? After you replace the needle & check to make sure it is
not hand-quilting thread, put the tension back where it is supposed to be.
I sew professionally & I never have to adjust my tension.
I just thought of something else, has the machine gone more than a year since its last cleaning & tuneup? If so, it will never work properly. .
How long has it been since you replaced the needle? A dull
needle can give problems.
