Gosh, I wish I had known about smoothing that plastic case off that holds the bobbin. I got my little fingernail diamond file and smoothed it off and No More Breaks or Shredding of the thread (and it always said rethread the upper thread .....and it was the bobbin case. UGH!. I have been losing my mind over the shredding. This surely worked. Saved me dollars seeing this and not having to send my machine in.
"The right needle for the right job"; no truer words have been said. I have a Janome 4 needle embroidery machine and started having a "thread shredding and breaking issue". I tried everything, spent hours messing with the bobbin area and looking for nicks, cleaning, oiling. I finally figured it out and solved my problem. Wrong needle. I was embroidering on hats and when I switched from 75/11 needle to 80/12 needle, my problem was solved! Right needle for right job can solve thread shredding and breaking issues. Hope this helps someone else....
You solved it! I was sewing through very thin stretchy fabric plus a sticky/rubbery flat elastic, which was causing skipped stitches and thread shredding. Changed to a stretch needle instead of a universal, and all the problems vanished! Thanks!
Thank you for this video! I got my grandma's old sewing machine and I had this problem since I got it about a year ago. I stuck with the machine because it had the stretch stitches I wanted but this kept messing up my stitches. Opened it up and the was a little bump on the bobbincase, now it finally runs smoothly 🤩
I need help can you please contact me please. I need help my string keeps coming out of the thread guide and only the top string is sewing on the fabric
