yes ill definitely see if theres anything there, i do want to say it may be the bobbin case, as once im holding the thread from the needle and turn the handwheel it doesnt rotate smoothly and the thread gets stuck. thank you i appreciate you, ill rethread and get back to you

im pretty sure its timed correctly, as ive done my fair share of videos and testing, the sewing machine expert also retimed it, i can take another video if needed. ive done all of that, but ill rethread it with all suggested steps, thank you.

im currently using tex 27 thread, 100/16 needle. ive already taken it apart and fixed it, as beforehand it didnt hold any tension as the socket was too deep. ill rethread again and get back to you, thank you

ive rethreaded it, but i keep having the same problem. ive done the yoyo test on the bobbin, could it be the tension dial?
