The post whore thread.

Hi this is Mrs. Mazin. So when I have had that happen on my sewing machine it is a tension issue if it is on the bottom of the project there should be a tension dial close to the needle. You will probably need to look up in the manual or online for that machine as to what the tension needs to be set to for the type of needle and what you are sewing on. I believe it usually needs to be a little higher for heavy thread. Hope that helps.

I ran the tension both directions and it didn't make a difference. I sewed like this for hours and hours, then all of the sudden this happens over and over.

Sounds similar to a mig welder, or turning on a lathe. Speeds & feeds.

I got a hot tip to look up "birds nest" issues and go from there. Sounds like it could be a number issues like broken needle tips, dirty, etc. So likely what Mazin was talking about with blowing it out. I'll check it out again after work today.

Blew out the machine, rethreaded the bobbin, and got to work finishing up version 2.0.

Glad you got it working. Maybe it was because yours didn't have a kevlar layer in it.

This version does have a layer of water proofing. Well, kind of.

Water resistance? That's a big (relatively vague and undefined) selling point these days. I bet it's also shatterproof and organic.

It is both of those things! You're good.

Cardboard's maintenance free. Till it rains out.

Saw a Winchester 1912 shotty the other day on consignment. Something about that gun is magical.

I feel that way about shottys in general, love me some 12ga!!!
