Check if the needle is correctly installed and compatible with the fabric. Ensure the needle is not bent or dull. Also, verify that the machine is threaded correctly and the tension is adjusted appropriately.

How can I adjust the tension on my Dürkopp Adler 265?

To adjust the tension, use the tension dial located on the front of the machine. Turn the dial to the right to increase tension and to the left to decrease it. Test on a fabric scrap to achieve the desired stitch quality.

Ensure the bobbin winder is engaged and the bobbin is correctly positioned. Check the threading path for winding and ensure the thread is securely placed in the tension spring. Replace the bobbin if it is damaged.

How can I troubleshoot uneven stitches on my sewing machine?

Uneven stitches may be due to incorrect tension settings, poor quality thread, or an improperly threaded machine. Check and adjust tension, rethread the machine, and use high-quality thread for best results.
