      If the lower thread of your Brother Sewing Machine is tangled or breaks, wind the bobbin thread properly and replace the bobbin if it is scratched or doesn't turn smoothly. Remove any tangled thread and clean the race. Use a bobbin designed for your machine and reset the bobbin thread correctly.

      An incorrect stitch may be caused by using a presser foot that is not correct for the type of stitch. Also, the thread tension may be incorrect, so adjust the tension of the upper thread. Finally, the thread may be tangled; remove the tangled thread and clean the bobbin case if the thread is tangled there.

    How to prevent fabric wrinkling when sewing with my Brother 888-X26 Sewing Machine?

      Fabric wrinkling can occur if the upper thread isn't threaded properly or the bobbin isn't fitted properly; thread the upper thread and wind the bobbin thread properly. Ensure the spool is fitted properly and you're using the right combination of fabric, thread, and needle. Replace the needle if it's bent or blunt. If sewing thin fabrics, use stabilizer material under the fabric and shorten the stitch length if the stitch is too coarse. Also, ensure the presser foot is appropriate for the stitch you want to sew.
