That thread is never going to sew consistently. In fact I've never seen bonded nylon that looks like that. Maybe you're winding it on the bobbin in a strange way or someone switched labels on you.

Aren't those pictures of the upper thread?  I agree it looks terrible.

It is contacting the needle looks like hitting right at the top of the thread hole in the needle. Gonna take needle out to compare but looks like has actually nicked a spot on the needle.

You can see the spot on the needle where it is hitting. Is it supposed to do that?

No, it shouldn't hit the needle! The timing looks like it's out. The hook should be aligned with the scarf (recess) in the needle., the needle bar is too high.

I’ve watched Uwe’s video on the hook timing on consew 225. I’m wondering if I should try to do this myself or take it to a sewing machine person and have them do it  so I don’t make things worse? Is it something that if I try and don’t get it right  then have to take it to someone then they are going to say I should have left it alone.

I’d suggest you have someone adjust it - they can also sort out the tension issues so you’ll be able to avoid the frustrations you’ve been having.

Well Im still at it. Ive added new tension discs.  Took it to sewing machine guy and got the timing issue fixed. 

Im using 138 on top and 92 on bottom needle is size 24 and still having same issues. The top looks ok at times but the knots on bottom are not pulling up.
