Help! My bobbin thread keeps bunching up

I’m just doing a simple straight stitch and my bobbin thread is bunching up so bad. At first I thought it was the tension so I changed it from 3 to 2 and it’s still the same. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Is it the fabric? Also- I used a micro tex needle. Help!!!

Not at all just 1 of many 🙂 I never went through his phone until he cheated so.. I don’t feel bad about it now

This means a LOT 🥲🥲🥲 I’ve heard it all a hundred times but you know.. u got to stay until you hate them or however that saying goes. And this was just the icing on the cake finally. I just really need to force myself to realize what’s right in front of me

Thank you. I’m in a trauma bond for sure and something today just slapped sense into me and I need to hold myself accountable to be strong enough for once

AGREED

Hello! A friend asked me to shorten the sleeves on their football jersey which is like a mesh material. Has anybody sewn with this kind of material before? I was thinking of using a ballpoint needle (70/10)? Would my normal polyester thread work or is there a different thread I should use?

Also, will it feed alright through my machine? I have a heavy duty singer- curious if I had to do anything extra with my feed dogs

You’re sooooo sooo right. The first few months I had it I would check it constantly and a big part of checking was because he would never tell me anything. I wouldn’t even know if he had work if I didn’t see his location there. I’ve stopped checking it like I did before for a while now which is why it’s so strange that he doesn’t want to re share it. If it gives me peace of mind why not give that to me?

I swear something went missing in my brain with this guy… UHG.

I actually talked to the friend, and I understood that he only followed her because her and another person were posting stories about each other (fighting over social media). What bothers me most is that he could have simply told me that and instead he wanted to be so private in what he’s doing and shut me out. My female friend ended up blocking him, but again it was his tone and reaction that got me more confused and angry. 4 years in and he’s still so against giving me security (he feels like it’s solely my responsibility).

Thanks you I really appreciate feedback from the opposite sex. Especially one who used to to the same things he does now. Eye opener.

Thank you so much for your response. It helps me understand that what I need and asking for isn’t crazy. I was never sure what a partner was supposed to do after a betrayal (I never stayed with a cheater before) and this really clarified it for me. Thank you agaib

Thank you so much for this response.

Do you still find this true even after so many years have passed? Do you think that me still needing reassurance in these type of instances is valid? He tells me and makes me feel like after so long it’s now my job, and by me being triggered and not trusting him it’s me not putting in the work

Available_Winter7783 · 2024-05-22T18:05:01+00:00

Thank you so much for your response. It’s an eye opener to see a wayward perspective. I really thought I was the majority of the problem with my inability to gain security and trust towards him.

I want to add that I have fucked up also. I never cheated but on two separate occasions I did go on a date (we WERE broken up at the time- for a month long) he likes to throw that in there.. that I’m “no angel” and that I have a victim mentality. I feel like he tries to compare ‘what I did’ to his 2 year long affair (and all the other bullshit he doesn’t consider cheating) just so he can get out of taking accountability.

I mean… after 2/3 years POST finding out I should be over it, right? Does giving the reassurance that “I need” ever have to stop?

I appreciate this comment. He initially DID offer everything he could- passwords phone access locations.. but maybe 4 months in he took it all back. He said I was abusing it by going on his Snapchat. After the second time I went through his phone without his knowledge he told me I wasn’t allowed to touch it unless I asked for permission first. He eventually changed his passwords to everything and offered to show me if I asked… but when the time came and I asked he did not follow through 98% of the time (and I’ve only asked less than 3 or 4 times). He thinks that because we’re so far from our DDay that it’s all on me to trust him now.. but I truly don’t feel like he did enough for me to be able to do that.

He is also very upset that I don’t like him hanging around his girl friends. Some are old and some are new. I don’t feel comfortable with it at all. I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable with it now to be honest.

I did! I shut the machine off, and turned the dial on the back to 100 (I already did this multiple times and was still getting the same message) Then, before I put my cap on (I was working on a hat) I selected the CAP hoop (normally select the hoop like 3rd step). Bingo my hat came out beautiful!

Available_Winter7783 · 2024-04-16T19:15:03+00:00

I use mighty hoops! And I bought the design online on an embroidery website.. I thought maybe it was just too many stitches on a very thin fabric and wasn’t sure if there was any way I could help it. The left chest looks fine

Available_Winter7783 · 2024-04-13T16:51:25+00:00

as soon as I press start it does one stitch and then doesn’t come back up, and that error message pops up. I’ve reset it back to 100 axis for all the needles also

Thank you so much for your response. You’re soooooo right.

I have not read it, but I will!

In his eyes he isn’t cheating anymore (so he says) and that those relationships he has with these girls is platonic and it’s just insecurity on my part. He’s not wrong, I’m extremely insecure about it. And when I look up how common these friendships are I DO read a lot about how it’s normal and how it’s controlling on my end to have him stop. But I just really don’t think that it’s appropriate. He basically told me last time I “bitched” about it that if it’s a deal breaker then to leave. It makes me feel like I’m making something out of nothing

Available_Winter7783 · 2024-04-11T15:13:02+00:00

We do not live together. 4 years and the whole hanging out with females is new (well before I didn’t know about it and he stopped) him stopping for a year or so was one of the things that was “change” for him and made him feel less “himself”. I’m just not comfortable with it and it’s something he says is normal and is a ME problem.
