    I am beginner who was in the verge of giving up sewing as i was going crazy not knowing how to fix the stitch. Thank you very much for your video that aspired me to move ahead.

    Oh my goodness! I'm so glad I came across and found your video! It was the only one that actually helped the exact issue I was having and answered without adding extra fluff or commentary. Thank you!

    Omg!! Thank you so much. I have been trying all night to figure out why my topstitch is so ugly. Yours is the only video that I found that shows and explains this so well, or in fact at all.

    Excellent - makes perfect sense in easily understood terms. Could have saved myself a lot of time and anguish if I watched this first. You have a gift! Thank you!

  • @zydrunemac
    @zydrunemac Před 4 měsíci +1

    Wow, thank you so much! I thought I was going crazy testing all the thread tension levels and thinking they all looked the same. The genius 'finger on the bobbin' trick saved me a lot of frustration.

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your explanation of why the loose stitching on top occurs and tells us how to fix it...complete with easy-to-see video that shows us! This is wonderful. It's one of the best tutorials I've seen so far...clear, concise, and with a great visual presentation.

    Thank you for your great demonstration. Thankfully you didn't merely sew one (a) stitch, as there wouldn't have been much to compare. The Row of stitches displays the improvement immensely.

    • @gromessewing
      @gromessewing  Před rokem

      I'm so glad our video helped you! Most of the time, you shouldn't have to adjust your machines tensions, so if something goes funky, just start from scratch & rethread everything. ☺

    At first I thought this wouldn't fix my problem because the adjustment I made was so minuscule but it did! My machine also doesn't have the guide like the one in the video. So grateful for your help, thanks so much!

    I have to agree with all the other folks here. I haven't tried this yet, but im betting this is the solution. Please next time do a contrasting thread to your fabric. Excellent info, thank you.

    I have the opposite problem - what if the top stitch looks beautiful but the bottom stitch just looks like a strait piece of thread that can be pulled right out.

    Hi how do I fix a slanting stitch

    • @gromessewing
      @gromessewing  Před rokem

      Sometimes it could be the quality of thread, or the weave of your fabric. Depending on how often a slanted stitch pops up in your straight stitches, you may want to take your machine to your closest sewing machine dealer or service department and you may just need a tune up. We recommend either a Mettler or Gutermann All Purpose thread for your everyday sewing.

  • @Katherine_02

    My problem is that my stitches are fine until I reverse stitching and then I get loops on top. Having a heck of a time finding a video trouble shooting this. Anybody have a suggestion?

    • @gromessewing
      @gromessewing  Před rokem

      If your bottom stitch looks bad, try re-threading your machine. Check out this video on our page: czcams.com/video/uk0Hg1gO1Ug/video.html
