Fixing Thread Gathering On Bottom- Signer Oscillator Adjusting Bottom / Bobbin Tension

I hope everyone had a fantastic Holiday and New Year. I look forward to 2014 and all the fun we'll have and learning we'll do together.

Today we take a look at how to fix the very common problem of thread gathering on the bottom of your sewing project. The machine we are taking a look at is the Singer- Simple and it is an oscillator. To help fix this problem that, in this case, is the result of poor bottom/bobbin tension I went on location to my good friend Bryan's for help. I think this is a good video even if you don't have this type of machine just to see the differences. I learned a lot about this type of bobbin system. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Safe and Happy New Year! It's snowing like crazy in my neck of the woods. Tonight my family and some close relatives got a couple of rooms at a relatively close hotel. So the kids get to play in the pool or one of the rooms and the adults get a little time to unwind. 

I had great fun this year making all the Burley Sew videos and sharing with everyone. I look forward to what 2014 will bring. I really never though so many people would be interested. I am working hard to grow my skills and knowledge so I can do better. Thank you for all your kind words and for helping me grow in many ways. Happy 2014 all!!
