Bobbin Thread Keeps Bringing

bobbin thread fall from bobbin when I hold it. But when I put in in my bobbin case and insert it in the machine the thread is do tight you can't pull. When I turned the bobbin case it  kind of catches. I was sewing and I heard a thumb I thought I broke my needle but I didn't now it won't sew. Any suggestion. I would appreciate any ideas.

You must set the  bobbin tension :
  • Make sure that bobbin case and spring are clean before beginning this procedure.  This is to ensure consistency once proper tension is set.
  • Install a new bobbin of correct size into bobbin case.
  • Slide the thread under the tension spring.
  • Pull bobbin from under hole of tension spring.  If bobbin case has a middle thread guide or pigtail, do not thread through at this time.
  • Pull approx. 50mm of bobbin.
  • Hold the bobbin by the thread hanging out of the case to check the tension.  The ideal tension should be when the bobbin does not move, or is very slow releasing thread.  If the bobbin falls to the ground, it is too loose and you will need to tighten the screw (on the tension spring).  If the bobbin does not fall, loosen the screw until the bobbin is just barely holding its own weight.  Note: If a tension gauge is used, the correct bobbin tension is 20-25g.
  • Adjust the tension of the upper thread & bobbin thread for better balance when sewing.  The industry standard assumes 1/3 of the bobbin thread is visible in the back of a sewout.

Hope this helps…
