I could have posted this in the post I using for my project, but I wanted a quicker reply.
I have a singer 476( which shouldnt matter I think its just a general issue) and I am making tree straps and soon hammocks. I am using guttermans not sure which one but it wss purchased on diy's site so it is one of 2. I think its the more multipurpose variety (again I dont thik thats the issue). When I start sewing I get going and the thread gets stuck in the tensioner and brakes. Now I have it on a high number because its tree straps but its on 8ish maybe 9. I had run it a few times on lower numbers until the birds nest stopped showing up. I did not take this one apart. I did on my 1591. Before I do I thought I woukd ask. I am currently taking a peppa pig brake. I am going to check and make sure I am putting the thread in the right slot. I believe it has happened in at least 2 places (I am pretty sure I have had it happen and tried a different slot).
Btw for as long as it works (maybe 6 inches, or back and forth) it makes perfect stitches.
Thanks in advance. I know I make this diy stuff look easy.
