Question posted by plstalter on December 9th, 2013

The Machine Started Bird Nesting On The Underside.

Am in the middle of putting together a quilt with flannel fabric, and the machine started birdnesting on the underside of the stitching. Tried cleaning out the bobbin plate, turned up the top tension. Don't know what else to try. Got rid of my last Singer machine for the very same problem.
