Hello!
I know that the solution to this problem will slap me in the face, but I've tried and tried to fix it.
I bought a Singer Fashion Mate 237 at a flea market for a little bit of nothing. After cleaning away the dirt and oiling it, she's in almost perfect cosmetic condition. It hardly looks used. The machine sews a perfect straight stitch and zigzags great.
The problem is the reverse stitch! It leaves loops on top of the fabric. I know this is some type of tension problem and hopefully something I can fix myself without hauling it to the shop.
Any ideas from anyone?
Thanks!
