There are many may causes for this problem. The following is a list of possible causes and fixes:
- Upper thread tension is too loose.
Turn tensioner clockwise to tighten tension.
- Presser foot is too high.
Adjust to .5 mm.
- Presser foot scratched or scored on the bottom.
Polish with crocus cloth of #52c crocus cord if scratches are minor. Replace if scratches are severe or presser foot is scored.
- Needle not installed properly.
Ensure that the needle is inserted all the way until it meets the end of the needle bar. Set needle so that the notched part comes on the rotary hook side.
- Needle incorrect, dull, or bent.
Replace needle.
- Incorrect rotary hook timing.
Set hook timing.
- Needle depth set incorrectly.
Set to proper needle depth.
