Are you using a thread stand to feed the thread off the top of the spool? There should be zero tension along the thread path until it wraps around the tensioner discs. There, you should only wrap it around in a semi circle, then out to the spring regulator, then up to the take-up lever, then down through the guides, to the needle, which should be large enough to bring the knot up into the center of the work.

Make sure that the thread is not wrapping around itself after going through the upper guides before or after the tensioner discs. Also, look at the spring regulator and make sure it isn't wrapped around the shaft, rather than going through the disc-like mechanism where the spring moves with the thread, to take up slack.

Navy,

If what Wiz told you doesn't work it's probably the tension release lever needs adjusting,or the pin in the center of the tension could be missing,this happens if you take the tension out.Take the end cover off the machine & look @ the picture,the part with the red dot on it pushes on the pin in the center of the tension unit when you lift up the foot.

Once in a while they need to be bent alittle so it pushes on the pin.

You can check by lifting the foot & watching it to see if it pushes the pin in when you lift the foot.
