I have no problem sewing cotton material. Once I start oth micro active polyester the machine start to skip stitches. I have adjusted the stitch length, switch between size 11 and 14 needles....no change. Don't know why this is happening as I had no issues stitching this type of material before. I have Saito industrial machine

Such a dummy... anyway, just pulled my daughters old Kenmore out of the shed after 15 years. it was full of rust and bugs. AFter cleaning it up and oiling it, it runs fairly well. Still pretty tight and the thread just isn't flowing freely. I will make the recommended adjustments and possibly replace the bobbin case and shuttle since there is still some abrasive rust inside the parts that I could not reach. Fantastic Video!!!!

Some things seem to be so obvious to many teachers that they dont' show it and I don't even know how to ask about sth I can't name XD and now, showing this bobbin which shouldn't unwind like a crazy workaholic on lsd, you solved my year-long issues. thank you!

For the life of me the bobbin thread keep cutting off and won't continously lockstitch with topstitch thread. I'll get a few stitches in before the topstitch thread stop looping and I have to open up the machine constantly to pull the bobbin thread through the slots, groves and spring over and over to get the top thread to catch bobbin thread. Any advice?

Holy moly! The reason why i stopped learning how to sew was because of this problem. It was more than 10 years ago when I borrowed my mom’s sewing machine. I just wanted to hem my jeans. I did not know anything back then including the word “tension”.. I always experienced a very problematic inner stitch everytime and I did not know that the lower tension only needs to be readjusted accordingly and also to defluff all those lints,etc.. Thank you so much for this! It helped me de-stress today lol

Hello Steve, I really appreciate you offering to help people who are having trouble sewing on an industrial sewing machine. I have 2 industrials one is a pfaff 1183 that is single needle lock stitch and I'm having a nightmare with the timing, I did take it in to a professional for maintenance 2 times and still not working properly, if you have any insights on that I would really appreciate it. My second machine is a new juki DU1181 N which is a walking foot, since it is new I'm having a hard time learning tension and pressure and all these different variables especially since I sew many different materials and accordingly different thread weights and needle sizes, but I'm hoping it is just a learning curve and hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon.
