Troubleshooting
Bobbin not feeding thread evenly
Ensure the bobbin is inserted correctly and the thread is running freely. Check that you are using the correct type of bobbin for your machine. Clean any lint from the bobbin case.
Stitches are uneven or skipping
Verify that the bobbin is the correct size and color for your machine. Ensure the thread is not snagged on the bobbin or in the tension discs. Check the upper thread tension.
Bobbin winding unevenly
Make sure the thread is guiding correctly onto the bobbin during winding. Ensure the bobbin is seated properly on the bobbin winder spindle and that the winder tension is set correctly.
Bobbin case is damaged
Inspect the bobbin case for any nicks, cracks, or debris. If damaged, it may need to be replaced. Ensure the bobbin itself is not cracked or warped.
