There are loops in
the upper thread.
The thread tension does not
correspond to the amount that
the thread tension knob was
tightened.
If the thread tension cannot be
adjusted, thread wax and dust
may have collected in the upper
or middle thread guide plates,
causing the thread tension guide
plates to rise. Clean the thread
tension guide plates.

Try sewing with different thread.
If the problem no longer occurs
after the thread is changed, the
thread quality is the problem.
Replace the thread with one of
good quality.

thread to “LONG TAIL” on the
second page of the settings
screen.
p.150
The upper thread
does not reach the
bobbin thread
when

short.
Correctly thread the lower
thread.
