Christina, I got out the book, and followed the directions. I would turn off the machine so it re-sets...then make sure that the tension knob on top has not been moved. There is a question and answer section in the product book that came with the machine.

I'm assuming you are talking about the lower loopers as they are not needles but are below. It is necessary to become acquainted with threading these as it can be very frustrating to have to in the middle of a project when you run out of thread or a thread breaks. It is also imperative to follow precisely or you will have messed up stitches. That said it is possible to thread and becomes second nature when you learn. There are color coded thread guides to follow and you will find it easier by taking off the free arm apparatus to get to the loopers more easily. Use the long tweezers as that is easier than using fingers . Once threaded it is easy to 'pull' new colors through instead of trying to run the machine to change as they can easily break at the knot. Tie the new color to the old and loosen the tension and just pull gently through. You will have to thread the needles and use the long tweezers makes that a breeze. Hope this helps; but practise practise practise and you will be an expert in no time and using a serger will be as effortless as your sewing machine~!

There is stitching, but it does not follow the pattern. We are pleased with it.

I agree with the other answer, check for lint under the black bobin casing. You will need to unscrew your throat plate. Also, if it is too tight on the bottom try loosening the top. If it is too loose on the bottom try tightening the top. Most tension problems can be fixed on top. Most of the time the bobbin tension is the last place to adjust. My students sometimes will have tension problems if they have the thread caught incorrectly in the first catch of the threading before step 1 of the threading process. Try that first. 90 percent of tension problems are fixed by changing the upper thread tension and by re threading.

You may be able to get an upholstery needle and heavy duty thread like buttonhole thread and sew it back together if it hasn't gotten to far. If not that, try a tailor shop or alteration shop to see if they will mend it for you.

I washed in warm water (not hot) and tumbled dry. It's coming apart at the seam so I think it's a sewing issue.

This looks like the bobbin in my machine. I do not have any trouble with uneven stitching or loops in the bobbin thread after it gets started. However I have had to order several new bobbin cases as the needle does puncture the plastic if it gets out of sinc.

I just got mine and have the same problem. Was thinking I could put the s-ring in the pre-made fabric loop.. but that doesn't seem safe.

My daughter got hers yesterday and was do excited... the first couple pre-cut patterns she did just fine, but when she tried to make her own with the included rectangular fabrics it jammed up a lot... it took a lot of patience to get a finished product... im thinking this is one gift that will find its way to the back of the closet quickly

I am a new serger user, so all I can do is guess based on problems that I solved on other sewing machines. Check you needles and make sure they are not bent or rubbing. Clean all lint and dust. Rethread using manual as guide. I usually find my problem when I do those three things. Please let us know how the problem is solved when it is. :) Good luck!

I just noticed mine doing the same thing last night. Perhaps if we can find a friend who sews!! It'd be cute to make a cover for it somehow!

I had to take the gauge out of the rubber casing, pop off the over and adjust the paper beneath the needle. Guess it's a common issue but a quick fix.

Mine's stitching came unraveled while still on my bed. Never washed it. And it unraveled at the foot, where it isn't even stressed. Dissatisfied!!!

I had the same problem when I first got mine. You just have to pull pretty hard on the loop (purse handle), and then unwind it. It loosens up after a few uses. Hope that helps.

So sorry, wish I could help, but I have not had this problem. That said, I haven't done much in the one of "decorative stitches," yet either.

They are sewn together, but we are having a lot of problems with the seams coming apart.
