    Please confirm that to back stitch, you are actually turning the wheel in the opposite direction.  That's what I understand you to be doing from what you've written.  If that's really what you are doing, why are you not using the reverse lever?  The wheel should ONLY be turned in the normal (towards you) direction.  I hope I've misunderstood you.  (Don't forget that I'm a novice, much like you, so I may be way off.)

     

    Yes, I'm using my reverse lever.

    I'm just a novice myself but what you said above caught my eye...  As far as I know, you should never turn the wheel backwards.  Only forward.  Turning it backwards can cause lots of problems, including thread jams/nests.

     

    Thanks I only do it at the start and end. I only been back stitching 2 threads and it seem to be working ok.

    Is it the bobbin thread or the top thread that is getting tangled? Post a picture of the tangle to help us diagnose the possible cause.

     

    I think your right it's the top thread. Is this still a  tension problem?
