Made sure
My machine is sewing terrible. It is supposed to adjust the tension automatically but it isn’t. I have tried rewinding the bobbin, changing the needle and adjusting the tension myself but that just seems to make it worse. I have a Viking Sapphire. Any suggestions for what I could do?

I have had this happen with my longarm and it usually is operator error. Yesterday I quilted a small quilt and was having problem with stitches and breakage once. Well I looked at the bobbin area cleaned it out looked at the way the machine was threaded and there it was thread was wrapped around thread guide so unthreaded and re thread my machine Good luck

OK, first let me say thank you to all of your great suggestions. I have changed the needle, taken the bobbin area apart and cleaned it really good (which it really needed), changed the thread (including the bobbin) but unfortunately that didn't solve my problem. It looks better but still not what it should be. So I guess it is time to take her in and get it looked at. Thank you all again!
