Thread Curls Up

[Alpha O]

I had a Riccar many years ago It was a wonderful machine. I used it so much I burned the motor out!

Only time I ever get thread curl is if I use cheap thread or try and pull with the foot down

When you try to pull with the foot down, the tension disks are usually closed. That will cause curl.

You supposedly can floss tension disks using a dollar bill.

I don't know how many times I've tried pulling a top thread for hand sewing on a garment and the presser foot is down.
