Raise needle to its highest position by turning handwheel at the right of the machine toward you. Make sure that the needle you are using is the correct size for the fabric you are sewing.
Lower presser foot onto positioned fabric and move machine handwheel toward you until needle pierces the fabric.

on 11/8/2007 Loops on the bottom are caused by the tension being out of adjustment. Correct the top tension first, then adjust the bobbin tension until no knot is visible and the stitches are equal on both sides of the fabric.
Breaking thread is caused by too much tension, old weakened thread, or a bent needle. I sew auto upholstery on a couple of ancient Singer Walking Foot machines, and spend the first few minutes getting the tension right every time I sew. I suspect the thread fairies visit at night and fiddle with the machines. If you need more help, email me at jamaclaypod@yahoo.com & I will send you some Singer guides to thread adjustment.

on 8/2/2007 did you get an answer to your problem it sounds as if your tension is off or maybe your bobbin is threaded or loaded wrong

on 3/11/2007 I have the same problem. The top stiches of my sewing is fine, but the bottom is a huge mess. I don't know what's wrong. How can I fix it?? Is it me, or the machine?
