honestly, i bought some threads with superior from the states it wasnt too expensive!
i was in a mood to spoil my self and bought 200 threads...for 200 american dollars this price you can not compare to a decent manufacturer, but ...it is an expansive lesson, some of the threads are ok, some not.
i learned my lesson, better less colors, but good quality....
marry christmas and happy new year every body!!!

Good suggestion, but it rarely happens when I embroider. It happens all the time if I try to use any kind of elongated stitches. I told my tech so when the machine goes in in Jan., I hope he can do something about it. You are right you really have to follow the procedure on threading to get good results.
Becky, the thread I use for embroidery is Madeira Rayon. Everything else sewn in this house is made from Superior threads. There's no lint in the bobbin when using it and that's a very good thing when you have a lady like the 830. She is very insistent on have her bobbin area clean . I buy my thread at Barnyarns in UK. It's way too expensive to get it from Superior when you are in Europe.

yes i saw it.
but i cant efford the superior thread (250 colors!)
but what i have now it is nice to put on the wall....and see but not use

Good thread is key. I love Superior, especially if I am using metallics. If you have not done so go on the Superior website & watch Dr. Bob's video on threads & needles.

thank you!
i did it (slow the speed) and it didnt help.
i read some where that if you put the thread in the freezer, sound little hipi but it works (as slowing the speed) - not a lot.
i dont know how to reduce the pressure on the top on 580, i will look for it.
i checked that i did thread the bobbin on the right way.

may be it is the thread that i use (the price too good to be true after all....bought it from amazon.com)

ok guys, thanks, if you have any other idea let me know.
cheers

Try slowing down the speed at which you embroider also. This might help too. When I get thread tangles like Norma does, I often find that I haven't seeded the bobbin thread properly.

Norma,
I used to have the same challenge with my 830 not taking up the top thread but now keep the front plate off all the time so I know if it has engaged or not. * The lever will not pick up the thread if the bobbin is not threaded first.* Knowing this has saved me much anguish.

thanks norma,
i will try it!
cheers

Hi Becky. Good to see you again.
When there are problems in the bobbin it's very often an issue with the top thread. Check if the thread has come out of the thread lever (the one that holds the upper thread and goes up and down). That's what often happens on my 830.
So retread and be sure the tension disks are engaged also.
Hope this helps.

hi there,
i hope you can help me, i have bernina 580, i tried to embroider but, it makes a big mass in the bobbin.
i tried to change the needle, clean the lint every so often.
can any body helps please.
thanks
