    Question Bobbin thread bunching up. Have a Bernina Activa 230. Help!

    Yesterday my bobbin thread started bunching up. Not sure why or how to fix it. Any advice?

    Try rethreading the top. A sewing machine repairman told me one time that if the top messes up rethread the bottom and if the bottom messes up rethread the top. Check for lent in the bobbin area too. Don't use canned air but a soft clean brush. Hope this helps.

    Are you using the same thread for both? I used to not think about it, but someone told me once that they should be from the same spool. If they are, and it's still giving you a headache, it could be lint down in back of it.
