Help me troubleshoot this please!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I have a singer 6136(?) sewing machine. It is pretty old but works really well, until recently. The problem is when I start to sew, the top looks good, but when you flip the piece over, the thread is all bunched up underneath. Sometimes, it even just freezes in the middle of sewing b/c the thread has gotten pulled so tight. I have read the whole manual, but there is no real help there. Anyone know whats up? TIA!!

Have you tried rethreading? Make sure you get all of the old thread out of there too. Any fragments left behind can get caught up in the bobbin. I would rethread the top and the bottom.
