my machine has thread in the bobbin and from the top and the needle moves however the thread is not stitching in the fabric it is just making holes.

Reinsert your bobbin and make sure you have it caught in the slot on bobbin case.After that hand turn your machine over.Rotate the wheel forward to go down into the bobbin case area.Thread should rotate around and be caught up by the sewing machine hook.Than the bobbin thread should come to the top.If this doesn't happen your timing on your machine might have been push off. Did you try to sew a really heavy fabric or thickness.This can move the timing out of placement.It will require having it checked by a sewing machine repairman.But first recheck that both top and bottom thread are threaded correctly.Also check your needle to see if it is bent or worn.Replacement is the easiest test. Also check to see if there is a lot of lint build up in the bobbin area.It can be cleaned out with canned air. How long have you had your machine and how much have you used it? Without seeing the machine I'm guessing at possible causes of problems with the machine.Did you have any problem with the tension before this problem came up?

Either you are not threading your machine correctly , your bobbin is not threaded correctly or you may need to adjust the tension on the machine. Don't adjust it a lot at one time. Just a little at a time. You may need to play around with it. Have patience.

I have purchased 2 sets of these threads from Kolors. I especially like the variety of colors. I use a Brother PE- 770. I hope you have as much fun as I have had doing embroidery. In case you haven't been told, you should clean your machine atleast once a week in the bobbin area, that way any thread you use won't get tangled and you won't get as frustrated.

No, mine worked fine. But I found out after that my machine has this built in. I thought it was more like what a serger would look like.

Yes this thread has a beautiful end result in most all embroidery machines.....Keep in mind to purchase a needle for your machine that has a larger Needle eye then most ...the reason for this is to keep the thread from fraying as you are using it.....some decorative threads tend to be softer and more fragile so as they pull with the tension of the machine they can break off eaisier....ask your favorite Fabric shop for the larger eyed needles....they are actually just as sharp they just have a more elongated eye for the thread......Best of luck with your sewing adventures.

Hi, Does your new machine have a metal throat plate? ( that is the plate that goes under the sewing foot which the needle passes through as it goes down and catches the bobbin thread) If you have the metal plate the Dritz Magnetic Seam Guide should work with not problem. The great thing about the magnetic guide for me is when I sew a hem in place or have a seam that is deeper than one inch I measure out from the needle to the depth of the seam or hem and attach the guide to the metal throat plate and as I sew the edge of the fabric is sliding through against the guide and I have a perfect seam. Good luck with your new sewing "toy" and have fun sewing ! I hope this answered your question. Happy Sewing Ells3

For most embroidery work the bobbin thread is not seen. Bobbin thread usually only has to match the top thread when doing free standing lace or edging on in the hoop projects. Sometimes when embroidering on black fabric I will use a black bobbin.

I've never had a problem with the bobbin area. I've been using the machine a great deal in the past 6 months having made 3 full quilts and working on a 4th-and all the piecework and machine quilting that goes with that-so mine is getting a lot of usage. I had one issue with thread but I was using really cheap thread-when I changed it out to the better thread my problem went away (this was on the top end of the machine not the bobbin area). So I would suggest changing the thread, to see if the problem stops.

This thread is for sewing machine or hand sewing. It is not for embroidery. I have this and it works good for me.

The bobbin is filled in the "traditional" way -- not in the bobbin case. You put the bobbin on the little post on the right on the top of the machine, push it to the right to disengage the needle from going up and down, thread the thread through the hole in the top of the bobbin, and start the machine. When the bobbin is full, you remove it and put it in the bobbin case, beneath the plate by the presser foot, and return the bobbin-winding post to the left position, which re-engages the sewing action.

Yes. Your machine should have an accessory pack that includes a plastic attachment that keeps the spool of thread on. If you don't have one, you can take a piece of styrofoam and push it through the thread post to hold the spool on.

It could be clogged. Maybe try taking a pin/needle and poking inside the end of the wand before using it (machine off).

Yes, it will drive you crazy! It is very difficult to thread!!! I am a professional seamstress and have had many sergers before this one! I sold it to a friend who has worked with these machines before. Go with the one that air threads itself, and you should be fine!

No, I had no problem with the foot press or the bobbin. Try redoing the bobbin it may be in wrong since that happens at times.

I wouldn't know as mine isn't a Brither, but most machines should have a rewinder built into them. On the top of the machine you can load a bobbin and then rewind onto it.

Hi, push the stitch length all the way to the left until you hear a beeping, then immediately move it all the way to the right. I usually adjust the tension on top a little looser also so the basting thread is looser which makes it easier to gather fabric. Remember, every time you turn your machine off, it defaults to the tiny stitch, so you must repeat this step whenever you want to baste.

I got this answer through google. Maybe it will work for you: Best Answer - Chosen by Voters Unthread the machine, top and bottom. Place a sheet of paper under the presser foot, lower the foot, and "sew". Does the needle move? If not, check that the bobbin winder is off. Does the paper move? If not, check the stitch length is set to something reasonable (like 3 mm instead of 0 or 0.5mm), and that the feed dogs are raised (check the manual for the section on raising or lowering the feed dogs or free motion embroidery or free motion quilting) Still no luck? Pull the needleplate and do a good cleaning (vacuum and brush only, please -- compressed air just forces the lint in further) especially around the feed dogs and in the bobbin case area. Lubricate if the manual directs. Works on paper, doesn't work when you thread up? Are you starting the seam correctly, and making sure you hang on to the thread ends for the first couple of stitches? Here are some stitching issues caused by not threading correctly and/or not starting the seam correctly: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/vi... Notice that the last pair of photos illustrates a jam that was so bad it brought my machine to a halt -- caused by incorrect seam starting and poor threading. (pictures are in pairs... blue thread on top, red thread in the bobbin.) If you still can't get it to work, it's probably repair shop time... it's probably going to need parts or more adjustment than you can do, or you've missed a spot in extracting jammed thread bits. Over the years I've seen two machines that were really unable to transport fabrics... one had a broken linkage to the feed dogs, and the other had fractured a feed dog (and I'm still not sure how that happened!)
