Tension

Here’s some tips

#1 stop sewing 

#2 if you have been sewing forever don’t assume you won’t thread your machine incorrectly one day.  

#3 walk away, come back unthread entirely. Rethread 

#4 take bobbin out rethread. Test sew

#5 if that didn’t fix it think 🤔 what happened before all this happened? Did you have a needle break? Did it jam? Did you change needle and put back in incorrectly? 

#6 do you have a burr around the needle plate hole? 

These are all basics to check before being frustrated for hours.  The LAST step I ever take is adjusting my tension dial.
