1. Using a doubled piece of fabric similar to what you have in mind for your project, sew a seam on the diagonal-pulling the fabric on the diagonal to break the threads. (Ideal tension would either break neither thread or break both threads. So, a single breaking thread signals that the tension needs adjusting.)
2. Snap out the faceplate to remove it & to gain access the bobbin area below the sewing needle.
3. Remove the bobbin case & bobbin-lifting the hinged latch that you would to wind a new bobbin-leaving the bobbin in the case. (You need it in there to feel the tension as you adjust it.)
4. Using a small screwdriver, very slightly turn the screw on the side of the bobbin case clockwise to increase tension; counterclockwise to decrease tension.
5. Pull the bobbin thread while you hold the bobbin in its case & feel the thread's tension. Too tight of tension would prevent the thread from dispensing (& possibly break), but too loose of tension would allow the bobbin to fall out of its case.
6. Return the bobbin case to the sewing machine & close the faceplate.
7. Repeat this whole routine from Step One on the doubled fabric. Stitching should run along both the top & the bottom in the same way-locking in the center. A diagonal pull of the fabric should show which thread(s) break(s). Repeat Steps Two through Four to only adjust the screw aside the bobbin case in order to allow the threads to lock in the center of the fabric with both threads having the same break or no-break result.

There are three causes. Make sure your needle is all the way up in the needle clamp, and the flat side it on the back (if your bobbin is in the front of the needle). If it is, then your timing is out of synch, and you will need to get a technician to fix it.

it's a problem with the thread take up lever, either put a small piece of tape on the take up lever or take a pair of pliers and carefully place a cloth over the take up lever and close the take uplever a little but don't damage the take up lever if you don't have a manual, here is a link for a free manualhttp://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/1313_2732.pdf

Needle breaks 1.the needle is damaged 2.the needle is not correctly inserted 3.wrong size needle for the fabric 4.the wrong foot is attached 5.the needle clamp screw is loose 6. Top tension is too tight 7. Machine could be out of time

It's out of time. Take it in for repair. (get it cleaned, lubed and have the belts checked while you are there)

Replace the bobbin case with the "Apollo Bobbin Case" part number 421326 located on this page. That should take care of your problem.

If you have the black bobbin case you must make sure you use only a good mercerised thread, there should be enough gap between the edge of the bobbin case and the silver adjuster to allow the thread to pass through, if there is not then you must slacken off the two screws and move it over a fraction.

Tension is adjusted with the tension dial on the right side of your machine.You would adjust the tension to your comfort. Use a piece of material to practice on, and tighten or loosen your tension till your threads look just right. If they are to tight your material will bunch up, if they are to loose you will have thread loops or very loose threads. As you get to know your machine this will come to you as easy as driving a Model T Ford. GOOD LUCK.

I believe your tension is to tight. Loosen your tension dial, while using a piece of scrap material. Continue till you achieve tension you are happy with. GOOD LUCK.

It does sound like the needle bar needs replacing.

I've found your part at the link below but there aren't any details how to purcase it.

I'll keep looking at let you know if I can find another which can be purchased online.

Sewing machines. All the manufactures copyright their manual. They know that you need a picture. It'll cost ya $12.
:o).

Loosen your tension dial till the problem is resolved. Work on a piece of scrap material to achieve this . GOOD LUCK.

http://www.singerco.com/resources/threading.html, this will tell you how to thread. I am thinking that you do not have the cap that you put over the thread spool to stop it from falling off. Until you can get one, how about taking the top of an empty pill bottle and making a hole in the center and sliding it on the spool pin. Then call Singer at 1-800-4singer and order the real thing, you can also ask them questions on operating the machine. It looks like they do not have a manual for your model for free, it is $15.
