Why Is The Bobbin Thread Only Showing On The Top Of My Project?
I have cleaned and rethreaded my machine several times. I have tightened the bobbin thread tension as far as it will go. It was working fine until I ran out of bobbin mid way thru my project. I have done this before and I just cut the thread, remove the hoop, replace the bobbin, reattach the hoop, reverse a few stitches and go on... this is the first time the bobbin thread hasa become a problem. No matter what I do now, the bobbin thread is all I see on the top of my project.
