WHAT EVERY SEWING MACHINE USER SHOULD KNOW.

Lack of knowledge on how to handle some sewing machine faults will cost you thousands of naira.


One of such fault is looped/loose stitches.

Looped/loose stitches can be formed either at the upper part or lower part of the fabric.


The correction for both cases is different. So pay attention to the guide below:


📌 If the loose stitches are formed at the lower part of the fabric, it implies that the UPPER TENSION is loose. Therefore, you will tighten the upper tension. Tighten it gradually and test till the correction is seen.

PS: If you notice that the thread begins to break/cut, it means that the upper tension is too tight. You only have to loosen it a bit.


📌 If the loose stitches are formed at the upper part of the fabric, it means that the LOWER TENSION is loose. The lower tension is often located on the bobbin case (popularly known as shuttle). You will find a tiny screw at the side of the bobbin case. What you need to do is to tighten this screw with a tiny-mouthed screwdriver.

PS: If the bobbin thread begins to break/cut, then you should loose the lower tension a bit.


This guide works for both industrial and domestic sewing machines.
