Questions and answers
Changing the tension dial does not seem to have any effect on my too loose stitches
If changing the tension dial does not fix too loose stitches on a Singer 4830 sewing machine, check the following:
1. Threading: Ensure the machine is threaded correctly, including the bobbin and needle threads.
2. Bobbin placement: Make sure the bobbin is inserted properly and the thread is feeding in the correct direction.
3. Needle: Check that the needle is not bent or dull, and is properly installed.
4. Presser foot: Confirm it is lowered before sewing to apply correct pressure.
5. Thread quality: Use good quality thread suitable for the fabric.
6. Fabric type: Adjust handling for stretchy or slippery fabrics as they may affect stitch formation.
If all these are correct and the issue persists, the machine may need servicing.
