Problems With Sewing Jersey

Hiya, I’m new to Thready Set Go and quite new to sewing.

I’ve just stitched my first cotton jersey tshirt and I think the whole thing needs to come apart… the sewing machine hasn’t enjoyed sewing it and I don’t know why.

This is the first time I’ve experienced this and I have no clue what the issue is. Can you help explain what’s gone wrong please?

Info that may help:

  • Maraflex thread

  • Schmetz jersey needle size 70/10

  • Innovis F420 Brother sewing machine on the zigzag stretch stitch (photo below)

  • Tension bang in the middle at 4.

  • Jersey is cotton jersey “essential chic” from Lamazi, 220gsm and has good stretch and recovery.

Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to help my machine handle this fabric better? Thank you!
