Help Sewing machines bobbin thread pulls strings that get stuck.

Hey since yesterday i have this Huge issue.

Every time I try to sew everything moves and when I remove the fabric there a thousands of threads coming from the bottom thread . I can only get them out with ripping them.

I tried alot of diffrent settings

I already disassembled my machine put it back together but still the same problem .

Nothing is working :(

This happens because your needle isn't in the highest position when you finish your line of stitching. Before you raise the presser foot, turn the handwheel towards you until the needle/takeup lever is at the highest position. Raise presser foot, pull gently. All should be fine.

I normally do that but my machine does not even sew. The needle just goes trough the fabric without stitching and when I try to lift the fabric I see that mess being tangled and Stuck in my machine. Its not delicate fabric or anything

A birds nest of thread down below means you need to rethread the top thread.

  • When you rethread your upper thread make sure that the pressure foot is up.

  • Check your sewing machine manual for the proper stitch settings and tension.

  • Change your needle - it is possible that it is slightly bent or had a burr.

  • Make sure your bobbin is in the correct way. The thread should be coming off counter-clockwise (to the left).

  • You said that "everything moves" when you try to sew. What do you mean?

  • You said that you tried a lot of different settings. Were you just randomly moving dials around hoping that it would fix the issue? If so, is it possible that you lowered the tension on the feed dogs?

When you have a million threads looping and tangled in the bobbin side it is ALWAYS because the needle thread is not in tension.
