My thread keeps getting caught

May 16, 2006 1 Replies

Hi All. I am new to the group, and would appreciate any advice that you can give me.



I have been making some Roman Blinds for my daughters bedroom, and the needle thread keeps getting caught around the bobbin spool causing the spool to move out of time and jump out of its casing. This results in a jam.



I have tried rethreading, adjusting the tension, trying a different piece of fabric and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I have checked that the spool and foot isn't worn down. I have a singer 6408 which is about 10 years old.



Can anybody offer any ideas?



Thanks in anticpation



Does it sew with anything other than the Roman shade project?
