Loop fabric or yarn is when there are too many loops in your piece and it can be difficult to use all of them. If you pull one out, more will come, creating a tangled mess.
This happens most commonly with fuzzy or baby fabrics like wool blankets or shams, cotton clothing or bedding, or flannel for pants or shirts. When stitching these pieces together, try to have short intervals between each stitch so that the loop has time to relax and flatten out.
Remedy: Use shorter stitches to create larger openings
When stitching large areas such as seams or fastening buttons, use smaller needles and/or fewer stitches per row to reduce the size of the opening. This way, the thread does not need to stretch as much, which helps prevent bunching.
Alternatively, add some bulk to the seam by backstitching ( stitching twice) before moving onto the next part of the project.
Bobbin thread looping
If your bobbin becomes clogged, your whole sewing process will come to a halt as the bobbin takes up space in the machine where the threads are stored.
You may also find that the needle drops down due to lack of tension caused by the stuck stitch. This could cause your seam to break or pull apart!
There are several ways to test if your bobbin is obturate. You can either take it out completely, cut off some bits of stitching and see whether the thread comes out or not, compare the size with a new one, or try using a different type of thread to determine if there is something chemical attached to the old one.
Bobbin thread tangling
When bobbin threads get tangled up, you have to start pulling them out one by one or use different sewing machines to sew with separate bobbin threads. Either way, this can take a lot of time!
Sewers should be careful about what types of fabrics they use for projects because some colors may cause bobbin thread tangles. Due to the length of many seams in clothing, there are lots of opportunities to tangle up the bobbin threads.
Removing all colored fabric from the seam area will help prevent this problem. If possible, use darker shades of fabric to make it easier to see when stitching ends.
Reasons for bobbin thread bunching
This takes longer than if the needle only needs to penetrate one layer of fabric at each pass. Because these changes occur quickly, there isn’t enough time to allow the bobbin case to fill up properly with new coils of thread that have been unwound from the spool.
If this happens, some parts of the seam may come together without being sewn completely, causing weak points in the finished product. You might also notice raw edges around the garment which didn’t seal correctly because the threads were not lined up properly.
Reasons for bobbin thread looping
As you work with heavier fabrics or thicker materials, this can be an issue. If you have to cut off a length of fabric, it could also contribute to your project being finished too late.
Another cause of bobbin thread bunching is having a low level of bobbin thread in your machine. As the needle moves down through the material, it can catch onto some left over bobbin thread that has already been used. When this happens, the hook does not pull back up through the fabric very well, creating a tangled mess.
If you notice any of these issues happening, try changing out your bobbins or adding more bobbins.
Reasons for bobbin thread tangling
This happens when two ends get stuck together because they are attached to different parts of the same loop.
When this occurs at the beginning of sewing, the whole project will need to be started over again as the fabric cannot be sewn into place. It also makes changing colors very difficult since you have to start with a new spool!
Another reason bobbins can get tangled is if one end gets pulled too tight while running through the machine. This could break off completely causing an expensive waste material chunk that needs to be removed and re-sorted.
There are some things you can do to prevent this, so here are some tips.
Remedies for bobbin thread bunching
Never run out of any type of thread completely! This will cause your projects to be stop-start in production, and is not good for sewing.
If a lot of tangles occur at one time, chances are there are some leftover bits of old stitches that were cut off. These pieces get stuck onto the next stitch, causing a tangled mess.
General tips: remember, if you put more thread through the machine then it should pull through easily, without too much effort! If even half a spool does not work, start looking for middle ground between low volume and no volume stitching.
Remedies for bobbin thread looping
When bobbing is happening due to thread tangling or bunching up, you can try rolling the threads back through each other to see if that helps.
Simply pull one length of thread through itself to create an action-reaction effect. If this fixes your problem, then your machine needs some maintenance, so do it properly!
You can also separate out different colors of thread and roll them through each other, but be careful not to push too many rolls at once in case they get tangled together.
Remedies for bobbin thread tangling
The first step in fixing your sewing machines is to determine if your machine is using old-fashioned straight needles or newer spring loaded automatic needle positions. If you have automatic needle positioners, then changing the position of those needles can help prevent tangles by giving your machine time to work through more fabric before getting stuck.
If needed, you can also replace your used up bobbins with new ones! There are many types of bobbins that sewters use at different levels of skill. Different styles require separate bobbins that are specific length sizes. You do not need to buy the most expensive brand name bobbins, but it is helpful to know which ones are better than others.
Some known brands make very long bobbins that often break as they are pulled out of the machine.
