The phenomenon of the lower thread tangled in the family sewing machine

When the thread below the sewing machine is tangled, making it impossible to pull the upper thread up, and even with force it cannot be lifted up, then the machine has tangled the lower thread. At this point, you almost have to remove the machine, cut the thread and slowly untangle it so that the thread can return to its original state.

The lower thread is still tangled when the upper thread still runs normally but the lower thread cannot be hooked up, causing the sewing machine to skip stitches and the fabric cannot take the thread.

Bottom thread tangles look complicated but are actually very easy to fix if you know the cause and deal with it immediately.

Causes of sewing machine lower thread tangle

There are many reasons why the sewing machine’s lower thread is loose, causing the thread to tangle:

• She was confused when the bobbin was installed in the wrong direction.
• The bobbin is scratched so the thread cannot pass smoothly.
• The bobbin used is not compatible with the sewing machine you own.
• Because the sewing process of the lower and upper threads has not been brought to the back of the presser foot.
• The sewing thread is adjusted too loosely or too tightly.
• You have threaded the thread incorrectly, causing the thread to not run properly. When you hook the bottom thread up, the thread gets tangled.
• Poor quality sewing needles – warped needles
• Adjust the height difference of the family sewing machine feed table.

How to fix the problem of the sewing machine having tangled lower thread

Once the thread is tangled you need to stop sewing and turn off the sewing machine then clean the hook before starting the untangling process.

If the thread is tangled due to the wrong direction of the bobbin, replace it. If the bobbin is scratched or not compatible with the machine, replace it immediately. Do not reuse it as it will cause the machine to continue to tangle the thread. Check if the thread has been brought behind the presser foot. If not, proceed to adjust it.

If the lower thread is tangled due to a substandard sewing needle, replace the needle immediately. In addition, you should choose a needle suitable for the fabric so that your sewing process does not have any problems!

Each type of machine will have different ways of threading, you need to carefully learn how to thread to do it correctly, then adjust the appropriate thread tension depending on the type of fabric. The feed table needs to be placed and adjusted equal to or higher than the throat plate to avoid errors.
