I've received a lot of messages from sewers who have reported various bottom thread issues. Some have seen a zig zag on the bottom when sewing a straight stitch while others simply see loose threads and loops. I decided to take some time to recreate their issues and try to approach it as a new sewer might when loading their bobbin.
I hope this is helpful to those of you having these issues. I know these kinds of things can be so frustrating for the new sewer. That is the great thing about learning to sew these days compared to the years in the past. Run into a problem - hit Youtube and you'll more than likely find a solution. :)
