Can I ask some advice about the stitch that my v old Singer is making. The stitch on the top of the fabric looks ok. But under the fabric it’s like just a continuous thread rather than going in and out the fabric??

That’s the side that isn’t right?? I’ve tried altering the stitch length and tension on the needle thread
Tried re threading the bobbin ( I think I’ve got that right )

Any suggestions?

It looks like a tension thing, I know you've tried the tension, does it look the same no matter the tension?

Yes. I’m only altering the needle thread tension but it doesn’t seem to alter the result?

It looks more complicated to play with bobbin tension

Loops underneath I think is tension too loose on the thread. Hence me saying try the tension max. What machine is it? Just going to have a look at the manual for you if I can

Thanks for your help with this Purps. Much appreciated

I haven’t turned tension to max..I will try that
It’s a Singer 348.
