    Omg!! Thank you so much. I have been trying all night to figure out why my topstitch is so ugly. Yours is the only video that I found that shows and explains this so well, or in fact at all.

    Wow, thank you so much! I thought I was going crazy testing all the thread tension levels and thinking they all looked the same. The genius 'finger on the bobbin' trick saved me a lot of frustration.

    Thank you for your great demonstration. Thankfully you didn't merely sew one (a) stitch, as there wouldn't have been much to compare. The Row of stitches displays the improvement immensely.

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your explanation of why the loose stitching on top occurs and tells us how to fix it...complete with easy-to-see video that shows us! This is wonderful. It's one of the best tutorials I've seen so far...clear, concise, and with a great visual presentation.

    • @gromessewing
      @gromessewing  Рік тому

      I'm so glad our video helped you! Most of the time, you shouldn't have to adjust your machines tensions, so if something goes funky, just start from scratch & rethread everything. ☺

    Hi how do I fix a slanting stitch

    • @gromessewing
      @gromessewing  Рік тому

      Sometimes it could be the quality of thread, or the weave of your fabric. Depending on how often a slanted stitch pops up in your straight stitches, you may want to take your machine to your closest sewing machine dealer or service department and you may just need a tune up. We recommend either a Mettler or Gutermann All Purpose thread for your everyday sewing.

    I have the opposite problem - what if the top stitch looks beautiful but the bottom stitch just looks like a strait piece of thread that can be pulled right out.

      If your bottom stitch looks bad, try re-threading your machine. Check out this video on our page: ua-cam.com/video/uk0Hg1gO1Ug/v-deo.html
