That's wierd... if the mat thickness is lowered, shouldn't that pull the top
stitches tighter... so no bobbin should show?

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

I would try some sample small letters and set the MT down to 1
and see if there's a change it should be substantially tighter.
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
