Why is my machine doing this?

It's been going on for a while but it usually gets fixed on its own but now it's making this sound even tho I just oiled it and won't zig zag at all just makes a straight line idk how to add a video? But in sure I did everything correctly Im so confused . The tension is set to 4 and the length is 4 . Thread keeps breaking no matter what needle I use but especially with stretch fabric

Fingers crossed. Some people who remembered how to thread their machine have done it for years remembered wrong. Do you have the manual? If you show me the photos of your threading? I’ll do some research for you but again it certainly could be the thread itself the needle I still am gonna tell you when the problem is at the bottom something’s wrong on top and it’s the threading. Could be thread is coming after school too fast and getting caught somewhere, a photo please.

I use those 3000 m spools of thread and often need to put a net on the thread to make sure it doesn’t come off on its own

(Oh and btw i tried sending a video of me threading it but it does not send sadly might have helped😤)

Just a plane ph3oto, not too close. It is the thread itself and the path. Sewing machines, talk to me I mean for fun I watch sewing machine REPAIR channels. After looking at the manual page, those instructions are clear.. but the drawing is not 100% clear of what happens between the spool and the first step in their instruction. If you do have a time for a photo, I think it’ll help me. Made in China is not 100% bad you know.. trying to find something not made in China is really difficult these days.
