With mine, I can't seem (seam? lol) to get the thread tension to adjust, and I'm pretty sure I have it threaded right.
The stitch is too loose and pulls the bobbin thread up to the surface of the fabric and isn't locking right. It's probably something simple.
That sounds like the bobbin tension is too loose. If you can find the manual see what it says about adjusting that. My old Viking had a screw on the bobbin case for adjusting that. Or perhaps the upper tension is too tight. Does it help to loosen that?
Leda, interesting pictures! I never realized that the bobbin went all the way around to get the threads to interlock, but it makes this sense. It works, so I never worried about how.
Jayden: if the machine doesn't sew at all, it sounds like the bobbin isn't in the right way. Is it winding around the right way when it's in the machine? Is it locked in? There are two choices and the wrong one won't sew.
