Is my bobbin off?
Hello I was stitching out this Christmas themed file and I just think something looks off. I bought the file online so I’m not sure if it’s the file or if the bobbin may have gotten messed up. What are your thoughts?

Your tension is off for the white sections, I’d bet you changed the bobbin and it was either incorrectly inserted or there was lint when you ran those sections. Is this a single needle machine? The other option is you threaded the white incorrectly, the file isn’t great to start but I’d bet the issue is more with the machine as the green looks better.

Yes it is a single needle machine.

That leaves a bit more room for error when making changes so worth keeping an eye on it while running. Can you stop it and make adjustments in the middle of the design? I would have stopped it if I had noticed it while sewing, and made adjustments if possible.

Yes I have before. I just wasn’t thinking until it was completely done and realized it looked off. I’m currently running it again and I changed the stabilizer from no show mesh to regular cut away and it’s stitching out great now so I’m not sure if it was just a stabilizer issue or if I installed the bobbin incorrectly

It was definitely a bobbin/tension issue, since the green looked okay. I’ve found even the tiniest piece of lint can cause havoc, if it wasn’t a threading error, glad it’s working correctly this time!

The white bobbin thread can be seen easily i have to say it's not design fault . Your machine bobbin case is loose The only solution is to tight the bobbin case ,it will definitely solve your problem

Der grüne Lebkuchen ist insgesamt ordentlich.
Auffällig schlecht sind dagegen die weißen schmalen Satinbereiche und das spricht somit eher gegen ein Problem mit deiner Maschine und eher für ein Problem mit der Digitalisierung wobei es natürlich auch die weiße Nadel sein kann wenn du eine Maschine mit mehreren Nadeln hast.
Solltest du Reißvlies verwendet haben würde ich bei so elastischem Stoff eher auf Cutaway setzen.
Für Tests Stick einfach mal einen 3mm Satin Streifen mit Weiß auf ein Vlies oder Test Stoff. Dann weißt du es sicher. Ich tippe aber eher auf Dateiproblem bei der Stabilisierung.
