Question
When sewing my top stitch looks terrible, but when I look at the other side it is perfect. I have re threaded, new needle, new bobbin. What else do you suggest?  Thank you

Answer
HI Keli,
THis sounds like a tension problem.  Could be the bobbin is not threaded in the case right.

First, check the threading of the bobbin.  CHeck the stitch.

Next, adjust the tension on the bobbin case.  There is usually a small screw on the case that can be tightened or loosened.  I think you may need to adjust it a bit.

OR

adjust the top tension knob, just a small bit at a time.  It the top does not change the stitch, then go to the bobbin case and adjust the screw to tighten the stitch.  A little at a time.
