That's also why we're having so much trouble determinating what the cause
of this is.

If we lower the MT, the loops are better but the bobinthread is showing on
top.

if you don't see a change I would think that there is a computer
issue or the OS is glitching. Then I would re-install the OS.
Give it try.

Thanks for these suggestions. The machine has been given a big
maintenance very recently. The problem occurs on both machines so
changing the bobbincase is not possible. I'll have to order a new one to
try that out. But anyhow, it's strange that the same problem occurs on
both machines at the same time.
The bobbin tension has always been the seen, it's only since a week or so
that we experience these problems.
The only thing in the article you mentioned I do not understand is this
: - Make sure your needle depth is correct and that the machine is timed
according to your machine company's specifications.
Is that the material thickness or is there another feature that we can
change to adjust the needle depth ?
Thanks,
Cindy

Cindy this could be due to a number of things. First read this article and
see if helps http://stitches.com/mag/apparel_thread_tensions/index.html
Clean the bobbin case (or try a spare one) and oil the machine if hasnt
been
done recently. Check your bobbin tensions by jerking your wrist only (not
moving your arm at all) and the bobbin should slowly fall to the floor. If
it doesn't move, your bobbin tension is too tight. It it falls to the
floor
without jerking your wrist, the tension is too loose. Run a series of
tests
by saving a design of 1 inch "I"'s with color changes and the bobbin
should
cover about 50% on the back side. Hope this helps

Hello,
We have two machines that work together as one cluster.
Lately we experience a lot of problems with loose stitches. We have the
problem with different design, on both machines, on different colours, on
different needles.
Changing the material thickness did not solve the problem.
Adjusting the bobin case didn't also make any difference.
We changed needles, did a maintenance, we changed the thread feed rollers
but
nothing helps.
Does anyone have any suggestions what the problem might be and how to
solve
it.
It generally seems that the wider the lettering, the better the result but
with smaller lettering (no to small even) we obtain worse results. We also
have the problem with fill stitches : even then we see that the stitches
are
loose or looping.
Who can help us ?
If you wish, I can always send a picture of an example that has been
embroidered.
Thanks,
Cindy
