Machine help please

Give it a good clean and oil (if it uses oil). Change the needle. Re-thread
everything, top and bottom, and use the same thread up and down. Now try it
out on 2 layers of scrap cotton, and remember to put the presser foot down
;-)
Still getting gopher guts?

I've been sewing on and off for years but any problems with the machine
are
left to DH. As you all know, he left yesterday and this is HIS field. My
machine is sewing but making a mess on the back of the fabric. I *think*
it's the tension setting but not really sure. I've twisted and re-twisted
and switched it back and forth and still nothing has worked yet. I'm about
ready to chunk the d**n thing out the back door and just start sewing by
hand. lol Really! I've searched a few sites and can't find anything to fix
this machine. So, Kate? Anyone have any ideas on what is causing the
thread
to "bubble" on the back of the fabric? It's like it has a line of thread
down the fabric with loops of thread around this one long piece. The top
stitches have never looked better. lol Go figure! I thought before I mess
around with the bobbin tension, I'd check with someone here. Otherwise,
I'd
probably REALLY mess something up. lol

There is no hope : (
You have "gopher guts".

Just a lil hint--when you 'unthread' the machine--cut the thread at the
spool--pull the thread thru from the needle end--that way it will catch
any looses threads, lint, etc, as it goes thru.

HTH
Butterfly (now--read the rest of the replies--just hope mine gave you a
lil grin)
