Hi,

bobbin thread issue

I have a small technical problem and I am looking for advices to solve it :

When I embroide a design, each time the embroidery start just after the thread as been trimmed, the bobbin thread is not taken by the upper thread.

I need to stop the machine,
1.remove the bobbin from the bobbin case,
2.pull some thread from the bobbin,
3.put the bobbin back in the case,
and only after I have done this the machine works great.

Did you you had this problem already ?

Thks for your help

I've had this problem before. In my case (on my SWF 1501C), the picker needed to be ajusted.

Don't know the correct terminology but...it was not moving back away from the bobbin case after the trim. It was a matter of loosening it a little bit.

You might also adjust your thread trim length on the machine to make it trim the tread to a longer length.

Also, make sure your bobbin tension isn't too tight.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, it is a start. I will try and continue to investigate.

Yes, sounds like either your bobbin tension (adjustment of the small spring on your bobbin casing) is too tight, and/or your thread trim length is too short, not allowing the thread to wrap around the bobbin thread. Also, your top thread tension could be set too tight, not allowing your thread to pull thru the tension knob and make the loop around the bobbin thread.
