BrotherXL2600i tension Just about everytime I change the bobbin, the tensions are screwed up. I move the dial up and down to no avail. I rethread the top thread, then the bobbin . I have even re-wound the bobbin again. THen, all of a sudden everything is okay for a short while until I have to change the bobbin again. I am NOT a novice sewer. I have been sewing for over 45 years, never a moment's trouble with my Kenmore machines. I have brought my Brother in for servicing several times, all seems fine until I have to change the bobbin. I ALWAYS use the same thread for top and bobbin, so it can't be thread incompatibility. Every once in a while there is no problem. Problems are the norm. The repair shop is an authorized Brother dealer with a fine reputation. He told me that the machine was basically a piece of junk. Everyone else who has this machine do not have the problems I do. Should I have sent it back to Brother? Help me fix the tension., please

Answers & Comments
Questions Iris. 1. Are you using the correct bobbins for this machine? 2. Are you following the manuals directions exactly? 3. Before you thread (top) ur machine, are you releasing the thread tension by raising the tension lever? 4. When you wind your bobbin, are you following the threading diagram in the manual? 5. Have you broken off any thread in or near the tension disks? If so, tiny threads may be stuck between the two disks. Lastly, Part of the problem, quite frankly, is that these less expensive machines are finicky. And part of the problem is that most manuals are not detailed enough. Go over each of my questions, then get back with me.
