I ...Thank you all for your comments on my problem. I asked the Art Digest members the same question and am posted on the results. For the time being my problem is solved, can't really say what the different is because I tried a lot of suggestions at once. The thing that really puzzles me is that my machine will sew for a lot time without a problem and then all of a sudden a loop will occur.<br /><br />Margie I love your idea.Marilyn Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06010144685249848468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419947969361612077.post-39573088188840094612011-01-18T17:37:14.765-05:002011-01-18T17:37:14.765-05:00Marilyn - try the following:

Clean any loose thread from your bobbin case and lower machine area.<br />3. Rethread both the top and bobbin area. Check your take-up arm and upper tension area for loose thread particles.<br /><br />Anytime I've had problems like this with my domestic machine these are the steps that I take first. If the problems do not resolve after that then try using a different thread combination. After that if I can't fix it I give up and hit the chocolate!<br />Hope this helps.Margie Krafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09136498779046249543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419947969361612077.post-85906713665035378552011-01-18T10:39:32.922-05:002011-01-18T10:39:32.922-05:00I had a similar problem once and after trying all ...I had a similar problem once and after trying all the needle changes etc. and nothing helped, I took it to my LQS (that is also a Pfaff dealer and service place), and it turned out to be a small machine timing problem - something I couldn't remedy in any way. Just an idea if nothing else helps, but I hope you solve it fast - nothing more frustrating than this!Marijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581196809366841407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419947969361612077.post-6742592297991318302011-01-18T10:33:05.609-05:002011-01-18T10:33:05.609-05:00I use a 90 embroidery needle.

The 90 makes a little larger hole in the fabric but disappears when the fabric is pressed. I hope one of these answers smooths the way!Roberta Ranneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856425999385317976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419947969361612077.post-20977365558967760352011-01-17T22:13:06.816-05:002011-01-17T22:13:06.816-05:00I would also recommend switching needles - try a #...I would also recommend switching needles - try a #80, which is also recommended by Superior for BL.Ebony Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921326129078398023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419947969361612077.post-88199739715111078042011-01-17T22:02:48.472-05:002011-01-17T22:02:48.472-05:00Hi Marilyn--Just listened to a program from Bob of...Hi Marilyn--Just listened to a program from Bob of Superior Threads and he said he always recommends a top stitch needle (the titaniuim-coated one from Superior, of course).Judy Heywardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17531311461335421502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419947969361612077.post-20185379585897439732011-01-17T18:15:23.161-05:002011-01-17T18:15:23.161-05:00If the needle is the only difference in all the th...If the needle is the only difference in all the things you are doing, my idea would be to try using your old favorite needle size for a while. Perhaps the thread is being grabbed by the fabric because the hole is too small.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00939002844851651470noreply@blogger.com
