Question posted by nafangr on November 27th, 2013

Something Is Wrong With The Straight Stitch.

My straight stitch seems to have problems even though I did everything I know to fix it. The upper thread appears totally tight and the down thread does big loops... Every stitch and a loop for the down thread, while the upper thread continues to be almost a perfect line, as if it was never stiched, as if we just put the thread in a very straight line ontop of the fabric. I did move the numbers to bigger ones, even to number 7, nothing changed. I did change the needle, still nothing. I id clean very thoroughly the whole machine, still... nothing... What might be wrong? Is it the time for Lady M (my sewing machine) to be taken for service? I have her since February 2012 and she never had a service, but there was no need. I take a very good care of her. Please, any ideas?
