  1. Check your presser foot to ensure it has enough pressure applied to the fabric to provide positive feed.
  2. Check and clear your feed dogs of any lint that may have built up.
  3. Check and adjust the height of the feed dogs.
  4. Check your stitch length regulator as it may be set to zero stitch length.
  5. Check the thread tension as it may be loose and the thread may be clogging under the presser foot.
  6. Check your needle plate to ensure it is fixed securely.

Coats does not recommend adding any additional lubricant/silicone to thread. It can change thread color and cause variations in friction, resulting in oil stains. Atomized silicone may also pose a health issue if inhaled by operators/machinists.

The dye uptake depends on many parameters such as cotton type, quality, finish etc. and any difference in these parameters between the fabric and thread will result in shade difference.

To improve seam elongation, you can increase the stitch rating per cm or inch, increase the bite, reduce the needle/looper tensions on affected seams, or change the type of thread used.
