You breezed so fast through those tension issues at the beginning - you didn't show if the stitches were different at the different tensions
I agree Patricia; I wanted her to explain about the tension spring in bobbin area; my bobbin is jumping and clunking; and the bottom stitching is really tight! So can anyone help with this plz?
Would’ve been SOOOOO helpful
Agreed. I need to see a slow close up of what those look like!!!
I need to see exactly how Angrla’s three dials are set..I am going crazy!
@@jillsmith5687 how do I fix the tension in my bobbin thread
For me, it was a loosely threaded bobbin. I just put a new bobbin on the winder, and re-wound to the new bobbin. Fixed my tenstion problem. I do appreciate how the tension adjustment was shown - I had no clue! This is a good troubleshooting video, thanks!
Thank you for watching Charlie and we are glad that you found the video helpful!
I watched this video because I am brand new to sewing and right out of the gate I am having tension issues. I even had trouble following the manufacturers issues on how to thread it. You covered both issues, but the filming of your bottom hand when all the action was going on at the top of the machine with your upper hand was absolutely crazy.
This 1000% did not touch on ANY of the issues I'm experiencing! 🤦🏻♀️
Same😢

Me either. The part on top looks like the wire might be in wrong pasotion. I do not know where it goes?
I've had to unscrew the plate and fix the bobbin holder countless times, AFTER exchanging the machine four times already..I finally gave up working on my project until I can exchange the machine AGAIN!
You might want to show the tension samples for more than a split second.
The tension knob!!!!!! Thank you for your help!
I was getting so frustrated. Thank you so much, it totally fixed my problem with the nest!
What fixture problem? I couldn't follow the video.
Girl I could hug you!!!!!!!! You're a total life savor! I was sooooo sick of this sewing s--t! I came close to throwing it in the dumpster along with my expensive fabric. Couldn't figure anything out. It wouldn't feed through, and I had to pull it! You're knowledge has me on the road to a gorgeous little quilt, and I thank you so much! My husband thanks you even more 'cause now he doesn't have to hear me whining about it!
thanks Karen :) Happy sewing!
me too!

Had an issue with my FS101, was getting bird nests underneath each sewing start, for about 1 to 2cm birdnesting. Studied UA-cam videos for hours and tried everything, nothing solved the nesting. New needles, new and different thread, new threading, cleaning, nothing solved the birdnesting at the beginning of each sewing. Saw nothing wrong on the bobbins or the bobbin casing. Ordered by coincidence recently 2 spare bobbin cases. Gave it a try and changed the bobbin case and voila, no more bird nests at all. Even so I could not tell what was wrong on the "old" bobbin case, the replacement of the bobbin case was the solution to the problem. Just in case, as this is not mentioned as possible troubleshoot solution ;)
god bless you and your crops
Thank you woman! You deserve a reward.
Thank you so much! My dog ran through the cord that was stretched over to the outlet and my sewing machine flew through the air and broke apart on the floor. I got error code e6 so found your video. My sewing machine is working again! Thank you! My son just got interested in sewing and I was so upset that my machine got broken.
Thank you for watching and we are glad to know that your machine is working!
This video helped to solve my GS3700 mechine problem.. Thank you
I followed the troubleshooting FAQ on Brother and watched this vid - which basically summarizes those FAQs. I am a good engineer and this Brother CS7000i has NEVER stitched anything without leaving a nasty bunched up mess on the underside. The top looks fine. However, even when I have a long stitch. It will start with a little bunch or hang. Then, I can continue for a couple of inches where it looks great and then randomly the last two inches are a rats nest. Fortunately, it is mostly when I am repairing my old work jeans. That material is 9 ounce twill and I am backing up the rips and holes with one of those (pathetic) iron patches that never iron on. So, I am doing only straight stiches with the correct default foot. Medium duty pure cotton twill thread on the needle and bobbin sides. Not one thing other than all default settings. Tension set between 1 and 2. Hand start and hand tack beginning and end (using the wheel, not the foot pedal). You can conact me here with any bright ideas!
We are sorry to hear that your CS7000i is not sewing correctly. Please see the links below for more informaton:

Hi @allanbruce9473 - did your machine continue bothering you or was there any "cure"?
Thank you so much for this video! It came in handy! Thank you brother! 😁
Good rips. Thanks.
1:26 solved the issue with clicking noise for me, thanks a lot
I needed to see the bottom stitches each time you changed the tension. You just showed the top stitch
Agree

How do you fix the internal threading spring in position #3 on the Brother inovis 1750 d sewing machine? I can stitch about 15 stitches, then the spring sticks and I get an error message to check and rethread upper thread. Upper thread is fine, it's a problem with this spring that is supposed to go up and down with EVERY stitch, but doesn't. Thanks!
Thanks so much! I have a question and hopefully anyone can answer. When I back stitch, the thread from the bobbin get undone and I see loops through the top.
Thank you so much for sharing
@@BrotherSews I’m new to sewing. I’m going to try changing the needle. Wish me luck hehe. Another question, do you suggest to only use Brother bobbins? My husband bought me some bobbins to surprise me but they are Walmart brand, haven’t sued them just to be safe. Thanks in advance
@@legacycosmo I’m sure you’ve had a reply but if the bobbin fits into the bobbin spot, they’ll be fine. I have some that won’t fit on the spindle….? Whats that about?

Hi,
I have brother sewing machine Ls-2125. Once I was sewing my dress. On my dress has a thicker embroidery when I started sewing the thread was broken. I also changed needles & different types of foot and stitches number. Can you tell me please problem.
do you know how to fix the error f05 speed sensor on a se400 machine?
i have a SE 400 brother sewing and embroidery machine but the needle locked up is that a safety thing or what caused that i can’t get it to work
Confusing. It seemed like you were trying to get through the video as fast as you could. It's not a useful video for beginners.
If you please please tell me how I solve mypronlem it is my lower part of the cloth are coming out with huge tangle thread,how to solve?
The knob for stitch selection has broken off is there any repairs available or is if some thing that cannot befixed
Great tips but I have an issue that I can't figure out. I set the machine for a simple zigzag stitch and after I sew about an inch the length dial automatically rotates backwards to "0". What am I doing wrong?
my gx37 arrived a couple of hours ago. i watched 2 videos about the exact machine and did everything according to the videos. i am a master threader now both lower bobbin and the main thread. buuut my machine just wont sew. i hear the motor whirring but nothing moves. i checked the manual, the troubleshooting section. made sure the bobbin winder shaft is on the left. tried 3 different power outlets. nothing. i rethreaded the machine 3-4 times. it worked like 1 second when i first tried it. then nothing will make it work again. also again after that first time, the needle threader wont reach the needle anymore. when i pull it down and push it forward, the walls of the needle threader is short a couple of millimeters behind the needle.
I’m brand new to sewing. What my wheel thing on the right doesn’t turn enough to have the notches line up? I keep getting a majorly grinding noise, have been checking for lose threads in the bobbin area, etc, but no luck. I’m borrowing the machine from our local library and it’s a Brother CS-6000i. I’m afraid that I am somehow damaging the machine.
What if the bobbin case spins with the shuttle?
It was definitely the tension that was messing me up 😩 my first time quilting and I’m using the walking foot. The bottom thread would just be a mess in the back and I was getting so frustrated why it wasn’t working. I checked everything from bobbin to replacing the needles. You said it might be tension and I put it up a bit higher and it came out perfect on the back!! If you’re using a walking door defiantly put it up around 4-5
Thank you for watching! We are glad that you were able to resolve the issue so that your stitches look great on the front and back of your quilt.
My machine is 6 wks old and now wont zig zag or other stitches. It will do straight but makes a loud knocking noise. I cant return it. Whats up? I've rethreaded it, replaced the needle and cleaned it.
Omg I just realized that my issue was right by the needle itself.....I kept threading it through the machine minus the piece right above the foot and needle🤦🏼♀️
I'm having problems with the tension and found this unhelpful as you went through the tension issueso quickly. I'm still none the wiser about where I should have the dial set for the different types of fabric.
So what’s the reason for the tread pulled and gathered in a nasty nest under the needle plate and even the fabric being eaten down there as well ? You just showed us how to remove the mess but how do I stop it from keeping happening? It’s happening all the time that I want to throw my new machine in the garbage 😭
Hello I have a ae1700 brother sewing machine the hand wheel is steff please tell me what to do
PSA: Avoid brother machines, especially economy class (SE600 etc). They are garbage. The machines are so finicky. I've had it nest at random and jam up. I can't get through 1 pattern without any trouble, like ever. I find that I have to reinsert the bobbin, but before cutting it, i have to violently tug it through, only then will the bottom thread stop showing on top or the top thread nesting below. Slowly it deteriorates and I have to keep reseating it. Forget tension dials, they don't work, period. 1 - 9, all the same result. Hate this crap!
I tend to agree. I’ve had 2 brothers that give me constant issues. I need suggestions on what brand to buy.
I had a Pfaff , I bought in 1995. Used it without any problem more than 25 years. Then last year purchased a Brother in replacement to my Pfaff..no comparison, already having troubles with simple tasks and sewing properly with this machine.
Pfaff is the best.
Me too. They are garbage.@@Kaptiv8edme

I bought this exact machine last week it’s awful I usually love brother machines but mine is so noisy & vibrates badly I’ve asked seller if I can send it back as it’s definitely not right & as I see everyday I’ve had to buy another machine I’ve going back to the brother ls 14 which in my opinion is the best I’ve had 3 now & wanted an upgrade but this is definitely a down grade
My brother xr9000 has F1 error. There is no authorized service center in my country. Any help in how to fix this??

What if it only catches one stitch and the needke slips out of the needle?
My Brother JX2517 is having an issue for the first time since I bought it in 2017. As I’m ready to push the pedal to sew, the needle doesn’t move but I hear the machine or the machine’s gears inside trying to work or move. So I try to push and let go and push the pedal and then maybe after 10 times of doing this, it starts to sew but very slow then go fast after many stitches. Then when I stop after minutes, it goes back to the same problem again. Please let me know how to fix this? Thank you!
I am facing the same problem the needle does not move at all
My GS2700 always making some bad understich, like the upper is neat but the under is Curly(?) nest or hanging , i've tried all the thing on the video but all is fail i still got the curly stich. Oh i'm sewing some cotton twill not that thick.

How about the timing? Can we fix it without opening the cover?
Yes I need advice on that problem too
The bottom thread does not seem to want to stitch along with my top thread, it wouldn’t simply not connect to my fabric. I have tried rethreading the bobbin and the top thread, and I can’t seem to find the issue. Any ideas on how to fix this?
THAT is the problem I keep having! I was hoping to find an answer here - but she didn't cover it…..Funny thing is, I will go along fine sewing with different threads and different stitches, and then, suddenly, this problem will recur! No amount of tension adjusting and re-threading will solve the issue......
My bobbin thread is to losses, which top thread always bring it up. .cannot do any stitch now ....
I have a Brother sewing machine just like the one in the video. However, it pulls to the left. How can I fix this problem?
@@BrotherSews Hi! I have the xm2701 model and my machine is stuck i reverse. Help!

Hello !
I have a Brother PS-2500. The pattern selector dial rotates all the way back and forth but the pattern does not change. It’s stack on 4/22 position on the display window.
Any way you could help me to fix this ? I called a service technician but the cost of checking the machine and fixing it is higher than buying a new machine. I love m’y existing machine and I have a sentimental attachment to it since it was my mother’s machine.
Thank you to anyone seeing this post and helping me to fix this.

What can I do to use brother sewing machine from the US that has 110v input in 220v mains?
We do not recommend using US models outside of the US, as they are manufactured for 120v use. Performance may vary between transformer manufacturers and as such we cannot guarantee results. I would recommend using the Brother Global locator to find a Brother facility nearest you, to purchase a machine manufactured for the voltage specifications for your area:

Im having the same problem!
I have a problem that...the needle is touching on the tension plate...and needle get broken....how can I fix it
Tried the tension, changed the neddle, cleaned bobbin case area, but top stitch still not picking bottom stitch. Could this be a hook timing issue? How do i fix this gs2700 brother machine. Thanks.
@@BrotherSews Thankyou, appreciate it.
She does stitches with little then a lot of tension but them doesn't SHOW you what they look like! My problem: I sewed fine 2 days ago. I didn't change the thread or anything. Now I just went to use it & the first couple of stitched made noise. Well when I manually & slowly moved the needle down (it is in the left position) it is banging into something below. You can see at that time that the needle is 'bending' a bit to the right. If it were to go straight down it surely would break. WHAT is the issue? Also I haven't been able to use the auto threader. To get the needle into the hook, I must push the needle by hand to the left to get in. But I still can't use it because the threader bar does not go low enough to line up behind the eye of the needle. Can this be adjusted somehow?
I forgot to mention, my machine is a cs6000i
Ok so I found that I had the bobbin thread facing the wrong way. WOW, who would think that other than having a crappy stitch that the needle would hit the plate below just from having a thread wrong way? Now I get an E6 error! For some reason now the auto threader lines up right. I tried about 30 times & got the thread to go through only once.
OMG you probably don't remember commenting this, but you totally solved my problem when this video couldn't 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

Hi: I'm not sure how to fix my presser foot. When I lower the lever, the foot snaps down with a lot of force, and feels like it is permanently stuck at the highest tension. Do you have any tips, or is the machine unfixable?
I know this is late, but there should be a dial or knob to turn to reduce the pressure of your presser foot. Check the manual for that, or look online.

Yeah - "unscrew the screws" is a massive faff and there is no reason for them to be where they are :(
I want to love my brothers but unfortunately I do not. I’ve sewn for over 50 years and don’t enjoy it any longer. After my sewing machine died I thought I was buying up and included embroidery with a Brothers machine. The needle threader does not work and needle thread pulls out or breaks and the needles are way too sensitive and break. And yes I have verified that the thread is fed thru correct and that the bobbin and thread are correct. Embroidering will have to wait
