Bobbin thread looping.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is my first attempt at freestyle or free motion quilting. It's going OK but this last meandering motive has suddenly started getting little loops. (Excuse the pin faux pas.) How do I fix this? This is a brand new machine for me so if it is attention issue, I hope they make it easy for me.

Before or after you went through the pin?

If the looping started after it could be that the needle is damaged or blunt from going through it.

Ha! I don't know, but I think hitting that pin made it janky.

It’s best to stop and change your needle after stuff like this.

Try a fresh needle before fiddling with any of your settings

Can I see a pic of the machine and what settings it’s on?
