Rethread your machine

    It may be threaded incorrectly. And when
    you rethread it, make sure your thread
    goes in between your tension disks. (If
    you don’t know where your tension disks
    are, consult your machine’s manual.)


Check your tension disks for dirt or lint

    Lint or dirt between your tension disks
    may be keeping your tension from
    working properly. Clean out any you find.
