The plastic bobbin case will probably have burrs and scratches and maybe even holes where the needle has gone through it. To correct the problem you’ve got with your machine, you remove the needle plate, put the bobbin case back in position, then screw the needle plate back on. I don’t know how they can get away with calling that machine, “heavy duty.” Anything with a drop-in plastic bobbin case will not sew heavy fabrics without the bobbin case jamming. The best thing you can do with that sewing machine is to take it back to where you got it and get your money back. She's A Sewing Machine Mechanic Januat 6:38 PM
SINGER FUTURA CE 200 CORD HOW TO
Any ideas what I did and how to fix it? Thanks Reply Delete If it helps for reference at all I had to jimmy the bobbin out on like a 45 degree angle due to the rotation, and all the thread is out of the machine. Now my needle is jammed and I'm stuck with a $100 block of plastic. I couldn't believe it at first, and even tried pushing the "home" back to its original position, to no avail.
SINGER FUTURA CE 200 CORD FULL
After cutting most of the knot out I realized something was wonky: the "home" for my bobbin spool had rotated a full 90 degrees counterclockwise. But when I practiced on the scrap paper I heard a snapping sound and when I stopped the machine I noticed a large clump of thread. Now as I said I'm fairly new to sewing so I don't know the proper terms for this so please bear with me. Finally I took the bobbin out and re threaded AGAIN (a little frustrated by now) and tried practicing on a piece of scrap paper. I threaded and re threaded and re re re threaded for another 10 minutes, testing each time with the thread coming loose. I just bought myself a new heavy duty singer sewing machine and was working with it for 20 minutes fairly successfully until I lost the threading with my bobbin. Hi! I'm a relatively new sewer with some experience working in the costume department at my old college. Have you any ideas what I should do? Thanks! Reply Delete Would this be a problem with the bobbin clutch? It seems a little different from the other bobbin clutch problems - more with the reset button. Obviously I can't hold it down whenever I sew. I found that if I held the button down with my finger, the machine would sew.

Looking at the picture in the manual, I saw that the bobbin winder reset button was supposed to be "down" and it stayed up after I pushed it. Then when I tried to sew, the needle wouldn't engage any more. The bobbin winder stopped before the bobbin was quite full - maybe 3/4 full. Seemed like I had it right but was trying to get the zigzag stitch right, and it occurred to me that I should probably use the same thread in the bobbin as the top thread, so I wound a bobbin with the same. It seemed to be running fine, and I was adjusting the tension according to the manual. I bought a used Kenmore 1603, and was trying it out with a new needle and fresh thread. Oh, I forgot to say to clean the shaft while you're in there. Be sure to remove all the WD-40, then re-oil with a clear sewing machine oil. Also notice the little switch at the top that engages the clutch, and make sure it’s doing what it should. Be sure to pay attention to how all of the pieces go back together. If you can get inside there, and remove the waxy stuff with WD-40, that should take care of the problem. Sometimes the grease they put on the big spring inside there, turns into a waxy substance that sticks everything together. Then the screw under that cover is how you get to the clutch. If it’s anything like the Bernette, you can just pop the plastic handwheel off with your hand. I can’t get a good picture of the handwheel side of the machine, but it looks a lot like a Bernette, with the stitch selector knob underneath the handwheel. There doesn’t seem to be a clutch on the outside of this particular handwheel.

These new Singers aren’t made very consumer friendly, and they are pretty hard to get inside of. She's A Sewing Machine Mechanic Novemat 3:35 PM If that fails, you can disassemble the bobbin winder, clean it, and put some oil on the shaft directly. Always blow the WD-40 out with an air compressor or canned air.

First, I usually put some WD-40 in the cracks (top and bottom) and work it until it's loose. If it's hard to turn the top spindle by hand, it's probably frozen-up by old oil. Here's a couple pictures of a Singer bobbin winder. I neglected to mention that the bobbin winder spindle can become frozen as well. Screw the center knob back on and tighten the little screw. Turn the ring clock-wise one position (or two). If not, remove the center knob and re-position the metal ring. You should be able to release and re-tighten the center knob. (Take a closer look at the second picture above.) Then screw the center knob back on and tighten the little screw. Put the ring in place, with the nubs in the slots on the shaft. The raised side of the nubs should be facing outward.
