2.) D-THE TENSION IS INCORRECTLY ADJUSTED.


EXPLANATION: UNEVEN STITCHES ARE USUALLY DUE TO INCORRECT THREAD TENSION. ADJUST THE UPPER TENSION AND CHECK THE BOBBIN TENSION.

3.) B-THE SEWING MACHINE IS NOT THREADED CORRECTLY.


EXPLANATION: INCORRECT THREADING OR IMPROPER BOBBIN INSERTION CAN CAUSE THREAD BUNCHING BENEATH THE FABRIC.

4.) D- ALL OF THE ABOVE.


EXPLANATION: ALL OF THE LISTED FACTORS COULD CAUSE THE NEEDLE TO BREAK. THICK FABRIC, A BENT NEEDLE, OR IMPROPER THREADING ARE COMMON CULPRITS.

5.) A-PRESSER FOOT PRESSES TOO TIGHT FOR THE MATERIAL.
