Learn to Sew 101 series - Finishing a Seam Lesson #7 - by Puking Pastilles

Why doesn't the needle tangle in the bobbin thread when goes over the right side of the fabric? It seems my bobbin always tangles... Am I messing something up?

@aurielMoon It could be one of several things. First, rethread the machine. Top AND bottom. Sometimes the problem is that the bobbin is in upside down (if you have a drop-in bobbin) Make sure the thread is coming out the right direction. Next, check your needle. Is is loose? Is it old? I would replace it even if you've only been using it for a couple of projects. After that, I would start checking tension, but that's an advanced type of fix.

Awesome!! Finishing seams is where I need the most help. I don't know if you have a video on French seams, but I would love to know how to do that!  Thanks SO much!
