Check your user manual to see which direction is required for your sewing machine.

Why is my bobbin thread looping underneath?

A: Looping on the underside, or back of the fabric, means the top tension is too loose compared to the bobbin tension, so the bobbin thread is pulling too much top thread underneath. By tightening the top tension, the loops will stop, but the added tension may cause breakage, especially with sensitive threads.

Why does my sewing machine keep jamming underneath?
