Question:

whats wrong with my sewing machine/ and or fabric?

So I just started sewing my snuggie out of fleece fabricI'm a new sewer but I know the basics for thisI have a huskystar sewing machine and I am wondering why all of a sudden my sewing machine started sewing real loose stitches.? the weird thing is is it happened right after I broke a needleI replaced it with the same type that was in before when the stitching was normal, the needle is also the correct size and stuff that is suggested for fleeceso then I experimented and tried using some flannel and it was fine againis it the fleece? im sooo confused PLEASE help!?

Always thread a sewing machine with the presser foot up or you will be sure to get loopy stitchingDid you try the fleece again? When you re-threaded the machine after changing the needle, you may have done so with the presser foot downThen when you changed to flannel, you lifted the presser foot and may have pulled a bit of thread through the tension control while the foot was up, which properly set the thread into the tension controlWhen the sewing machine is threaded with the presser foot up, the tension control opens to catch the thread Threading with the presser foot down, the tension control is closed and the thread cannot properly enter this function of the sewing machine and therefore does not have the tension needed to form a good stitchFleece is not fibre, but recycled plastic spun into yarn and does not need a special needleYou do need a proper size needle and a longer stitch for thicker materials90/14 should work fineIf the needle where installed incorrectly, the machine would not make a stitch at all If the last thread guide on the sewing machine is on the front, the flat side of the needle faces to the backIf the last thread on the sewing machine in on the left, the flat side of the needle faces to the right (toward the tower)Also, make sure the bobbin thread has not popped out of the tension guide on the side of the bobbin case Fleece sheds a lot and the bobbin area will need to be cleaned often as the build-up of lint can interfere with the movement of the bobbinYou may find the fleece shifts a bit when sewingLoosening the pressure for the presser foot may helpThis is a knob (or button) directly above the presser foot on the very top of the sewing machineLeft (or up) for lighter pressure and right (or down) for maximum pressure.
