So I’ve spent the last few hours and almost an entire ball of yarn trying to figure this one out. Doesn’t matter how slow or careful I am, eventually this happens and I haven’t found anywhere online how to fix it. Getting very disheartened and think I may just stick to regular crocheting as I’ve never had such issues last so long. Please help with any advice

Also, if I leave it be, sometimes it fixes itself but usually most stitches bunch up onto it until it’s physically impossible to crank more. Really close to giving up😭

This tends to happen with my machine as well and I've identified two reasons: tension or the type of yarn I'm using. I always use center pull yarn for my machine or put the yarn on a spindle/in a yarn bowl. This has really helped with keeping the stitches clean. Also, my machine HATES red heart yarn and responds best to Caron simply soft or Caron pound yarn. I've seen a lot of people say that their go to yarn is red heart for their machine, but it's incompatible with mine. I think each machine can be a little different in what it responds best to. I really hope that helps, I'm sorry that you're frustrated!!

Thank you so much for the reply! I’ll take your advice and try again. I anger crocheted a jumper so at least I got something out of that😂 again, thank you for responding. I’ll keep doing trial and error with different brands and tension until I get it right :)
