I have a Necchi sub 22 sewing machine and I cannot

When you put the bobbin on the winding pin, you need to push the bobbin toward the other round pin next to it. That activates the bobbin winder. If you look closely at the picture in the manual, there is an arrow showing to push the bobbin over.

Necchi 670-150 Overlocker - can you disengage the cutter on this machine and if so how!

I tried locating a manual for your machine but was unsuccessful. Most serger cutting blades can be disengaged by pressing it to the right and then flipping up. Otherwise, I can't offer any other ideas. However, if you want to stitch without using the cutting blade engaged, it is not a good idea. The cutting blade prevents excess fabric from flopping over into the loopers and can cause them to be damaged or broken.

My necchi sewing machine model 523 is not picking up thread

Try a brand new needle. If that doesn't work, then the machine is probably out of time. Search for sewing machine timing or take it for service.

I went to use my Necchi Lydia machine and the motor is making a terrible noise and the machine will not sew. Does it need cleaning, oiling or do I have a motor issue?

I have a Necchi Logica (Kenmore Sensorsew) and it was making a grinding noise, I bought new brushes, bought a technical repair manual for my machine. But, it needed a new motor, so if it is making a grinding noise, it is because the motor seized up and broke the pulley for the belt. No one would fix it because it was too old, I bought it new in 1988. Well, I kept watching on ebay and found a used motor, that was the answer. If, that is your case and you really love your machine be patient and find a motor, but just be sure that you don't spend more than it is worth. Sometimes, those "old girls" can be had for a reasonable price for the whole machine. I see on ebay, a few for sale at around $100 but shipping is $50 some dollars. They are heavy, and they were made in Italy, so kind of nostalgia.

I can never find parts and presser feet for necchi model 4900. Which more commonly found necchi uses the same parts as my model?

It looks to me as if it is a low shank and Amazon sells lots of low shank presser feet. I have bought the sets and they work great. They have a 52 piece set for about $32. As for parts, what do you need?

The new belts I put on my Necchi 537FA is slipping? Help Please!!

If the belts are tensioned correctly you might try cleaning the drive and driven pulley's with a little fine abrasive to add some friction.

Necchi 525FA is leaving too much thread and catching, causing to break thread. How do I correct this?

Could be - yr needle is bent. Replace it, or - I (too cheap to toss them), have gently re-straightened them. Or, I could be wrong. Love Necchi machineS!

I changed the light bulb in necchi automatic supernova ultra mark 2 and still no light

In that case, I would assume a 'short' in the wiring. Which you could find with a current tester. Hubby has one, not that he has taught me how to use it. Or - My industrial machine has no light, so I've picked up a nifty folding lamp with ? - a light source that provides solar light spectrum. Check at thrift stores, or at any Wal-Mart. Not all that pricey, now.

My upper thread is jaming up underneath the fabric under the foot plate. Its a necchi 535 fa/fb

That is generally called bird nesting or thread nesting, or what I refer to as "thread mess." It occurs because of a top tension issue but usually because the thread is not completely seated in the tension disk.Remove the top thread from your machine.Install a brand new needle.ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning.Set the top tension around the midway point and retest your machine.Adjust the top tension until the top and bobbin threads meet in the middle of the fabric. (Tighter top tension pulls the bobbin thread up. Looser top tension, the bobbin thread pulls the top thread down.)Other helpful hints:Avoid old or bargain bin threads.Install a brand new needle every 8 hours of sewing or whenever the needle hits something hard like the needle plate or presser foot or gets bent or damaged.Make sure the needle, thread, and fabric are compatible, ie do not use ball point needles on woven fabrics, do not use a needle which eye is too small for the thread, etc....

I love free motion sewing but I have two totally different sets of instructions! One says use a walker foot, one says no foot! Please tell me every setting/foot. I am breaking alot of needles and gett

Ok, I hope I can help. Quilting with a walking foot is technically (IMHO) not free motion quilting. With a walking foot, the feed dogs are still activated so they can work in conjunction with the walking foot to (hopefully) prevent wrinkles in the fabric sandwich. Quilting with a walking foot is more suited for stitching in straight lines or stitching in the ditch. In this mode, you would not pull or push the fabric as the machine should do that. FMQ Free Motion Quilting requires the operator to manually move the fabric sandwich under the needle. There are some sewists who do not use a presser foot, however, if you value your fingers, it would be best to use, at a minimum, a darning foot. Darning feet and free motion quilting feet are shorter than a regular presser foot so it does not make contact with the feed dogs or the needle plate. The space between the needle plate and darning foot is what allows a sewist to maneuver the fabric. Usually, the feed dogs are lowered when performing FMQ, but there are some sewists who don't. It's probably a matter of preference. Most older sewing machines included a darning foot in the accessory kit. Newer sewing machines may have several presser foot options for FMQ. In addition, there are many FMQ presser feet available on the market that can be ordered to fit your specific machine, ie Big Foot. Nancy Notions Trusted by sewing enthusiasts for more than 3 decades There are a wide variety of FMQ presser feet, some have springs so they "hop" on the fabric, some are metal, others are clear plastic, some are full circles, others are not round or may be open toe. There are also special presser feet that have a thicker base made for FMQ with rulers--the thicker base helps prevent the ruler from slipping under the presser foot and being struck by the needle. In addition to the multitude of FMQ presser foot choices, there are a variety of other tools available, ie quilting gloves, quilting hoops, marking tools, pattern transfer supplies, silicone mat that covers the sewing machine surface making it easier to glide the fabric. Amazon com Queen Size Supreme Slider Free Motion Machine Quilting Mat... Free Motion Quilting for Beginners There are tons of tutorials for FMQ. Just as there are many different methods, the right method is the one that works best for you. There are also lots of rules, but rules are made to be broken, so don't let someone else squelch your creativity. Quilt to please yourself. Above all, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. I have a small whiteboard that I practice drawing designs. Muscle memory will make FMQ easier. There is also the need to get a comfortable sewing speed along with the speed at which you move the fabric. If you are breaking needles, your fabric movement is probably too fast for the sewing speed. Also, practice moving the fabric while keeping the sewing speed consistent.Good luck! Remember, those awesome FMQers didn't learn it overnight. Many have been doing it for over 20 years, so don't be overly critical of yourself. You'll see improvement with every project you complete.

Where to find the model number

it looks like its made to sit into a table. if you lift it up there are labels stuck to the sides that would be just below the surface of the table so you cant read them unless you lift it up.

Take the machine for service. There is more wrong than cleaning and oiling can rectify. It needs some adjustment.
