Sewing tip for your Saturday 🧵
Thread jamming or bunching under your fabric? Lint in the bobbin area is a very common culprit. Every few projects, unplug the machine, remove the needle plate and bobbin case, and brush out the built-in fluff with a small brush (not compressed air, which can blow lint deeper in). A clean bobbin area means smoother stitches and fewer thread jams.
Still jamming after a clean? Bring it to us and we'll sort it out.
