I've been sewing for 55 years. My parents bought a Singer for the family but I was the only one that used it. Had it for 25-30 years and no problems.I bought one from a yard sale that I used for over 10 years. But over the last 5 years, I have purchased three brand new machines and right now I don't have one that works. The latest being the Singer Heavy Duty. No repair shops where I live. I have tried every thing to fix it, bought repair manuals, watched videos , and bought new parts. With Christmas right around the corner, so frustrating. Thanks for letting me vent.

Good info Jan. I keep my needles in one of those plastic divider cases with a closing lid that has multiple sections (1x1 or 2x2) & I put the different needle cases (jersey, universal, denim or serger, embroidery etc) in it’s own section so that they are all located in one place & that I can tell when my supply is running low. But the best part is that when I go to change the needle, that needle case is left at the front/center of the divider in it’s own section so that I always know (later when I’m distracted or haven’t sewn for awhile-lol) what kind of needle is in the machine. It works great & hope someone can find this tip useful.

i have a brother NQ575 that is 2 wks old. It was doing well until a couple days ago. I got top stitch a design on my table top and we're going along and then it just got into a spot and bunched on the bottom and made a nest. I have gray on top and brown in the bobbin and it is also pulling the top thread and mixing with the brown. I've rethreaded everything a number of times and it still does the same thing. I've tried dif tensions and nothing is working. The store i got it from keeps telling me user error. Well Im not that unfamiliar with what I'm doing. I've read thru the book, troubleshooted and nothing is working. Is this an out of whack issue with the machine. I am so frustrated already. can you give me a few more things to try that i havent tried. Thanks

The front loading machine bobbin is inserted in the opposite direction than what is shown in this video. What is shown is incorrect. In ALL sewing machines, regardless of how and where the bobbin case is inserted, bobbin thread reverses direction as it exits the bobbin case. This is to prevent spooling or fast spinning of the bobbin within the case, causing jams.
@JanHowell

@@JanHowell You are correct. When loading front loading machines you must insert the bobbin inverse to what top loading machines require. ALL machines require that the bobbin thread reverse direction as it enters the bobbin tension from the bobbin. If the the bobbin is inserted backward the bobbin can spool forward and jam. It's not a matter of whatever works for you. Sewing machines are designed in very specific ways and require precise application of parts to operate properly without poor stitching and damage.

One thing happened to me the other day - my foot controller stopped working. I could not understand why. The sewing machine was plugged in, turned on, and its light worked, so there was power to the machine. I could rotate the hand wheel, and sew using that, so nothing was blocking that from operating. I checked the connection of the foot controller cable into the machine, removed it and pushed it back in. But the foot controller still did not work. I checked the foot controller to see if something was caught under it, or within it to stop it depressing. But the foot controller could easily be pressed with my fingers, but it would still not operate the machine. I turned the power off to the sewing machine, and back on, but the foot controller still did not work. I thought that maybe there was something broken in the signalling between the foot controller and the machine such as a broken electrical/electronic connection. So left the machine, thinking I would have to take the controller into a sewing machine repairer, or I might need to buy a new one. Later in the day, turned the machine on again, and everything worked !!!!! Maybe the machine was just tired, and needed a rest, lol. Still have no idea what was wrong with the foot controller not being able to be operated. Does anyone here have any thoughts?

If it is a computerized machine, it may have just needed to reboot.

This video was very helpful. I am a completely new person at trying to sew. I threaded my machine the way the instructions stated even watched videos on my specific machine, somehow I managed to get the top thread tangled underneath by the bobbin. I had to take it apart to get it out. Please help me to understand what I did wrong? Thank you

It's hard to say, not knowing your machine. But it sound like to me that the bobbin isn't being put in place correctly. Does it snap in place when you insert it. The needle of your machine needs to be in the most upright position for the bobbin to go in place correctly. You may need to turn the handwheel on the side of your machine to move the needle up.

I am stumped.I cleaned my thread path, bobbin area, replaced the bobbin case and the bobbin -bobbin in correctly. I use a thread stand. Thread foot up then drop the foot to thread the needle. Birdnesting is happening in spots along the seam and definitely top thread. It is not happening at beginning of seam. I am thinking it is a tension issue after sewing on marine vinyl??

It could also be the timing on your machine. Maybe it's time for service? Have you tried changing the needle?

I just cleaned the bobbin case area and the pressor foot plate. It was really dirty. I knew to be gentle and I thought all was well until I tried to sew. The fabric did not move. I rethreaded it and put the bobbin in again. No change. What do I do now?

Check to make sure the feed dogs are in place. You may have disabled the feed dogs. There may be a switch on the back of your machine. If nothing else try taking out the components and reinsert them.

Have you tried changing the stitch length. It sounds like you have, but that is really strange. Never heard of that. May be time for a mechanic to take a look at it.

You may need to have the machine looked at. Probably something really simple to fix and most likely won't cost anything.

Before you start sewing, pull the tread so it is longer. Some machines have that issue. Or you can hold the thread for the first few stitches.

Sometimes you just need to take your machine to a mechanic.
