Why won't the stitches catch when machine quilting?

Q1.(A) Without realising, you could be 'helping' the material feed.
Q2. (A) Is the thread collecting at the start or during sewing?,,if at the start, make sure threads are clear and hold them out the back of work gently till a few stictches are made.
If during sewing, it could be tension isn't adjusted correctly, experiment.

Make sure your bobbin thread is turning clockwise as it sits in the bobbin case. There is a screw on the outside of the bobbin case you can turn with your thumb slightly to adjust tension. If you dangle the case from the thread and give it a light ****, it should move down slightly when doing so-an indicator of good bobbin tension.

Sounds to me like a tiny bit of thread may be caught in the bobbin assembly. I have a couple of machines that will come to a screeching halt when this happens!!

What you'll need to do is take your bobbin assembly apart and brush out off the lint and thread you can find, then use a bright light and magnifying glass to look for any bits that might still be in there.

Good luck and I sure hope this fixes your problem! Let me know, ok?

SOURCE: thread breaks

If the thread is feeding from the spool without hanging up, the problem is within the threading system.

If this machine auto-threads, try to manual threading.

Call your dealer and tell them what is happening and you need their assistance. The machine may have to be serviced. Take a sample of the problem with you.

Too many bells and whistles can sometimes be, too many bells and whistles!
