SOURCE: No tension on my Singer 6212C sewing machine

Take the thread completly off the machine and rethread it making sure it goes thru the tension wheel properly.
FYI Loops on the bottom-- Problem is in the threadding.. Loops on the top, problem is with the bobbin.

SOURCE: How do i set thread tension on a 306W Singer

Top tension about 4 or 5, make sure the presser foot is up when you theread the machine, make sure you can just pull the bobbin thread through with some slight resistence, if it is too tight slacken the screw on the bobbin case a quarter of a turn at a time anti clockwise.

Hello,

If you have Increased the upper thread tension on your machine, try these solutions.

* Decrease your bobbin tension if your sewing machine allows you to adjust it. Consult your manual.

* Re-thread your bobbin, It may be threaded incorrectly.

* Reinsert your bobbin, It may be inserted incorrectly.

* Change your thread. If your upper thread and bobbin threads are different types, try using the same thread for both.

I hope this helps.

How do you thread a singer serger 14U46?

Most Singer manuals are available here: https://www.singer.com/support . Searching just for 14 gave two pages of manuals with the manual for the 14U46B and 14U46 on the second page. The current link to the manual is https://res.cloudinary.com/singer-sewing/image/upload/fl_attachment/Singer-Website-Library/outdated_product/SINGER_14U46B_and_14U46_Serger_Overlock.pdf . The threading depends on your type of stitch. See page 9 for the steps common to all threading (raise the presser foot, change the thread tension). See page 11 (page 13 of the PDF) for the left looper path. The right and left needle threading is shown on page 12. If you are using a four-thread stitch, see page 15 for the right looper thread path.

I hope this helps. Check YouTube for videos on preparing a Singer serger. Those are often more useful than the manual's pictures.

Tension off on serger

Is it the needle threads or the looper threads? The threading diagram is critical to follow, and make sure the tension discs are not stuck.

Singer - 241-12, bobbin thread not stitching

I have a 241-12 Singer. New to me. It was running great. Then the bobbin thread ran out. Put in one prewound bobbin that came with it, even though the bobbin appeared different. The bobbin thread didn't feed and the machine jammed up. I finally wound the old bobbin and put it in. It will only feed about 6" of thread before the bobbin thread breaks. It becomes so tight I can't get it to feed. Both bobbins will not feed. However I don't believe it's the bobbin tension because thread will pull through fine when pulled manually (if it hasn't been in the machine yet). What am I doing wrong?

Singer 756u stitches not catching

So this is a serger? Might have been nice to know that. Make sure you have threaded your serger in the correct order. upper looper, lower looper, needles from right to left.

Make sure you do this with the presser foot lever in the UP position. Make sure all the threads are pulled fully into any tension guides.

Lower looper problems

Some sergers require they be threaded in a particular order. If not, they do not "knit" the threads.

Raise the thread antenna to it's highest position.

Open the tensions (set at zero). If the tension settings are automatic, raise the presser foot to open the tension settings.

Turn the handwheel so the loopers are at their highest position. There may be a mark on the side of the serger to match up with a mark on the hand wheel for this.

Open the front of the serger and the threading guide should be printed on the inside of the serger door, or on the serger.

Start at the right and note which looper is threaded first and then the needles.

You can find more information and manuals at the Singer Co website.

Problems With the Tension serger kenmore

Open the tensions (set at zero) and have the presser foot up when threading.

Make sure the antenna if fully extended.

Turn the handwheel so the upper looper is at it's highest position.

Thread, beginning at the right thread cone unless the manual indicates differently.

After threading, set the tensions back to the recommended setting.

If this does not help, please provide more details.

My 14sh654 singer Serger tension must be off and although i have watched the video and read the manual repeatedly I can not get the lower looper to tighten. My stitching is very loose on every tension...

possible causes. not threaded correctly, actual probelm with tension, burr on neelde plate presser foot or looper. check to see if after you thread that particular tension if there is any resistance on the thread after it passs thru tension, if not see if thread or lint is in tension disc. clean out it present then try again.

The threads are not tight on my serger

Here is an easy way to get your thread adjusted. Rethread the machine using four different colors. Then sew and for example the "yellow" thread is loose on the fabric, you know to adjust the tension with the yellow thread. Also a good starting place on your dials is 4-3-2-1 from left to right. Start with the tension set there and then adjust as needed.
