Singer 111w loops on bottom at slower speeds HELP!

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I don't know if I'm posting in the right place, but here goes.

I have a singer 111w155 I'm using T208 thread with a #23 leather needle on 1/8 thick chrome tanned leather and thick poly webbing (about 1/8th thick) sewing them together.

If I stitch at a faster speed I get little if any looping underneath. I would prefer no looping of course... Here is the real problem, if I slow down or stop or just stitch slower I get big loops underneath. Also if I turn a sharp corner, you guessed it, I get a loop.

To fix this I have replaced the tension group. That helped a little bit, my old tension was pretty beat... but I still have the looping just not AS bad.

I have fiddled with the tension spring, that didn't cure it.

I tried different sized needles, nope, didn't work.

I have re-threaded the machine, nope, didn't work.

In the photo you can see where I slowed down, loops, and where I sewed faster, no loops.

I know someone posted about this a while back but I cant find that post.

So... Any ideas on how to get this machine to stop making big loop underneath?

Thank you for your time.

Flip the bobbin around so it’s feeding correctly.
