Why are the patterns distorted on my Singer H74 Sewing Machine?
Distorted patterns can occur if the correct presser foot is not used, so select the correct foot. Also, the needle thread tension might be too tight, so loosen the thread tension. The stitch length might not be suitable for the fabric, so make a stitch adjustment and add stabilizer to the fabric.
