If they are not in their right spot this may be the problem. If it is actually loose, you need to check the location of the hinged latch lock. If the bottom plate is tight, then your next step is to check the bobbin case. So check that first and save your self some energy and time. Sometimes it is the bottom plate that has come loose due to a variety of reasons. One of the difficulties in discerning this problem is that often it is not the bobbin case that is loose.

It may not be a common event but it does happen and you may need help from a professional to re-time it correctly. The second problem could be that the machine is out of time. If you have now is the time to get that chore done.

Two other sources for this problem could be that you forgot to clean and lubricate the machine. In this case and the previous ones you should replace the needle and make sure it is inserted correctly. Or the fabric is too large for the needle. Then check your needle and make sure you are using the right one and that it is not bent, broken or the eye is not the right size for the thread. These are simple chores to do but they are easy to mess up. Both the spool thread and the bobbin thread. First, check to see if you have thread the machine correctly. If it isn’t the bobbin then it may be the needle. The origins of this problem are basically the same as the origins of the previous problem. Make sure you are using the right needle, it is inserted properly or that you are using the right needle and it is not damaged. If you have the wrong needle, it is in backward, not fully inserted or if the thread is too thick or thin for the needle these will all cause the bobbin to not spin. The bobbin is a passive part moving only when the thread is pulled from it. Check to make sure you wound the bobbin thread correctly as this could be one cause as well. You can fix this by loosening the screw and readjusting the bobbin tire so that it makes better contact with the bobbin winder. If it does not have the right amount of pressure it won’t wind the bobbin. Then the problem may come from the bobbin winder. Double-check to make sure the bobbin is in the right place. If it is not seated right, it will not spin. The first place to look when this happens is the bobbin’s location. It is not necessary to remove every part from its positioning to take the sewing machine apart.Īfter you have made the necessary repairs or did the oiling retrace your steps by putting the motor back in place and screw in all the screws. Use tweezers to remove those items and get ready to lubricate the different parts. If it is at the back, take it off as well.Īt this point, you should be able to see loose threads, lint, or other obstructions. Next, you should unplug your sewing machine and start to locate all the exterior screws.

If you do not have a manual visit and buy the one you need. You may need it when you are trying to remember where all the parts go once you start putting it back together. That booklet should have a schematic drawing to help guide you as you work. The first step in this process is to take out your owner’s manual. Then check your tension and threading to make sure they are okay. Stop what you are doing and rewind the bobbin. You can use a tear-away or a cutaway stabilizer depending on the fabric you are working on.įinally, if your stitches are looping then you may have a bobbin that was not wound properly. This means that the fabric needs a stabilizer attached to it to keep it firm. Just switch the foot to solve this problem.Īnother problem that can arise with stitches is seeing the fabric pucker or tunnel under stitches. This problem also occurs when you are using the wrong presser foot. Stop pushing or pulling the fabric through the needle. It is with you trying to help the feed dogs do their work. Then if the stitches appear distorted as you sew, the problem is not with the machine. To solve this stitch issue, double-check to see if the needle is inserted all the way up and that the flat portion is facing the back of the machine. This problem usually occurs in a Singer when the needle has not been inserted properly.
