Remove 2 long screw on motor side that holds everything together. Take out small screw holding belt pulley on shaft. Remove motor from machine and take off motor bracket that attaches to motor. It happens when I turn corners.Įdit: Someone mentioned that the machine will struggle when there's a lot of layers of fabric to get through, but it happens on corners regardless of the number of layers of fabric, even if I'm only sewing through four layers.Įdit again: It turns out it's not changing directions that's the problem, it's when I go over elastic and dense bits of fabric with many layers.Įdit again again: SOLVED IT! I had the foot pressure knob tightened way too tight, so I loosened it almost all the way and now pleats all make sense again, I'm so relieved. Screw top back onto pedal, place in base and replace all screws. It doesn't happen at the start so it's not about holding the threads taut at the start of the work. On the back of the work, the thread gets all long and loopy and bunches up.

Sometimes when I'm sewing over more layers, it gets kind of hard to sew and the stitches get a lot shorter. Hello! It's me, the one who had a mysterious tension issue because they had threaded their machine wrong and took 10 years to ask for help with that.
