When on automatic feed, the feed amount on the display should fluctuate when starting and stopping, but fairly constant during normal sewing. If the feed is too low, you will get false breaks, and I would suggest that you tighten the bobbin tension. If tightening the tension does not help, I would check that there is nothing stopping the tension screw from applying enough tension, ie some lint or thread. Also check that the column/run feed settings are set to default. Hope this helps. Cheers David Anderson Keband Australasia Pty. Ltd. 18 Daphne Cres, Hurstbridge.

I am in the habit of checking my bobbin all the time so I don't worry about it running out but I am training someone else to run my machines and would like it to work properly. Could it be a bad bobbin sensor? If so, is it something I can change myself?
