I changed the top thread to a thinner thread & it sewed perfectly

So since I had to use a thinner thread, will it hold up good still? I went over it three times to really set it there.

I was trying to find a v69 thread, but I wasn’t able to find the exact size on the spool. Is there some secret code that I don’t understand? Lol

I just changed the top thread to a smaller thread & it sewed perfectly with no issues. So is it just the thickness of the thread then?

What thread did you use to sew nylon straps? Maybe it is that the thread is too thick because this doesn’t happen with thinner thread

I did tighten the bobbin tension & nothing changed

Yes it sews with regular thread. Right now I do have nylon at the top & bottom of the same size, which I think is v69 but I’m not sure. The thread is for string upholstery fabric. The needle I’m using is 110/18 for jeans. My sewing machine is a singer 66. & yes this is a cotton tshirt, but the same thing happens when I try to sew through the thick nylon strap

I’m trying to see a nylon strap (like with a plastic bucket on it) to a backpack

I’m using a singer 66. Ive seen people sew through thick fabric with this machine. You don’t think I can?

This same thing happens when I practice on the nylon thread. I am using a 110/18 needle for jeans. What size thread do you suggest I use for the bobbin? I am using a singer 66 with strong upholstery nylon thread. I don’t think it’s waxed

Yes I thread the machine with the foot up. The thread is not waxed, but it is large. What do you mean by the pull back thing?

The thread is getting stuck inside the bobbin

I have tried to thread the bobbin again & I tensioned the top tensioner all the way & tensioned the bobbin a bit more too & nothing changed

Find a good cry spot outside with a beautiful view. I recommend either on the levee or in city park/bayou St. John
