My bobbin winding has suddenly stopped and I can
Hello,
Open the bobbin cover and remove the bobbin from your machine. Examine
the bobbin case and make sure there aren't stray threads jammed into
any grooves. If you see clumps or strands of thread, remove them with
your fingers or with tweezers.
Look over how the bobbin is positioned in the case and whether or not
it is inserted correctly. Different machines hold the bobbin in
different ways and some machines don't use a bobbin case. Consult your
machine's manual for the proper way for its bobbin to be inserted.
Make sure the thread is wound evenly on the bobbin. If your thread has
large sections of loose loops sticking out from the rest of the thread,
they easily could be causing the problem. Rewind the bobbin, if needed.
Clean the shuttle mechanism and the bobbin case with a small soft
brush, such as a make-up brush, and a dust cloth. Remove as much dust
and tiny fiber pieces as possible. Resist the urge to blow into the
machine to clear away dust, this can send debris farther back into the
machine, causing more serious problems.
Oil the movable pieces of the shuttle by putting a few drops of sewing
machine oil on a Q-tip and rubbing the Q-tip over the hinge-like
turning areas. Do not add too much oil to the machine; one drop goes a
long way.
Reload your bobbin into the machine and sew a line along a piece of
scrap fabric. Check your thread tension and adjust it as needed
following the manufacturer's instructions. The upper thread should
never show through the bottom and the bobbin thread should never show
through the top.
I hope this helps to solve the problem.
Good luck.

- In the event that changing the needle didn't determine the issue, have a go at rethreading the machine, guaranteeing legitimate pressure, and cleaning the bobbin region for any build up or garbage. On the off chance that the issue continues to happen, consider counseling the machine manual or looking for proficient help.
Brother XL5600 is not stitching properly and dropping stitches?
need to check the hook timing.
put it in zig zag, no fabric, turn the hand wheel to you slowly.
check the needle when it is coming back up, is the hook picking up the thread? if yes continue to check the next side, so if you check the left side then check the right. if any side its not picking up the thread then the timing is off and need to be retimed
I have a Brother Lock Serger. 1034D The Pressure foot Lever just spins around.
If you can remove the cover on the left side you will see the presser foot bar. On the bar there will be a screw that may be loose. Turn the handwheel until the needle is all the way down and lift the foot manually until just before it makes contact with the needle clamp and tighten the screw on the presser foot bar.
That should do it.
I have the Brother LS2300 and when I push the pedal to begin sewing it tangles and becomes unthreaded
This is most likely a threading or a tension issue. Take out both the top and bottom threads. Clean all the areas you can get to, top and bottom, to remove any tiny pieces of thread and fluff. You'll be surprised how much trouble two or three little bits of old thread can cause. Re-thread the machine and check your tension settings.
Are you using a different type/brand of thread, have you changed the needle or are you sewing a different type of fabric? These can all affect how a machine sews so you might need to adjust your tension settings.
