My Thread Is Bunching Up Under My Fabric
                                                                                                                                      






Try these fixes:


Rethread your machine

    It may be threaded incorrectly.


Raise your feed dogs*

    If your machine has this feature.

    Also, before you start to sew a seam, grasp the thread tails from the upper and bobbin
    threads. Hold them back and out of the way as you sew your first couple of stitches. This will
    keep them from getting caught in your machine.


*Your feed dogs are the little teeth that stick up beyond your needle plate.
