You can tell whether your sewing experience has been affected by what we term “bobbin thread bunching” even if it’s not always obvious when it occurs.
Bobbin thread bunching occurs when the bobbin thread of your sewing machine becomes tangled on the fabric’s underside. Fortunately, this is one of the most frequent sewing machine issues that may be easily fixed.
To use a top stitch needle and sew through the threads, a sewing machine requires a bobbin that is wound uniformly so that the threads may be placed and held in place.

Make sure your sewing machine is properly threaded
Rethreading your sewing machine is one option
It’s best to begin by inspecting the thread guides on your sewing machine. Keep in mind the take-up lever!
Consider whether or whether your bobbin thread is loose, uneven, or not smooth. Rethread your bobbin if this is the case.
Remove the sewing machine’s bobbin case. Using new sewing thread, check for broken or worn-out threads and replace them.
Put the sewing bobbin back in your sewing machine once you’ve cut the thread of any knots or tangles.
Make sure the bobbin is in good condition
It is rare for bobbin thread bunching to be caused by the bobbin itself. However, you should also check the bobbin to see if there are any issues.
Make sure that the bobbin is placed into the bobbin casing correctly before beginning.
Keep an eye on the bobbin’s tension
Finally, check to see whether the sewing bobbin, sewing machine needle, and sewing thread are free of lint. If there is, all you need to do is use a brush to remove it.
Check the Needle on Your Sewing Machine
The needle on your sewing machine may need to be checked or replaced if thread bunching continues.
Use it if the sewing machine needle you’re using isn’t the proper size or type for your machine or the cloth you’re working on.
Check to see whether the needle in your sewing machine is crooked or damaged. Also. One of the most prevalent causes of sewing machine malfunctions is a bent or broken needle. Sewing using a fresh needle may provide better results.
Sewing Machine Upkeep and Repair
The machine should be cleaned if you still observe a bird’s nest on the bottom of your fabric after doing all of the treatments above.
Oil your sewing machine, change the needle, and clean the area around the sewing machine bobbin to remove any lint.
When doing cleaning maintenance on your equipment, make sure to consult the instructions to prevent any unforeseen issues.
If the condition persists, you may need the services of a specialist.
