#1 you need SA156 bobbins, you can get them online at ebay, 20 for $8.99 and free shipping. they are fast delivery. Now, you need to rethread your machine, insert a new needle. Then do this test, pull on the top thread with the presser foot up, now put the presser foot down, then pull the top thread, it should barely move. This usually seats the thread in the tension discs. Hope this helps you fix your problem.

have you turned the handwheel at least 2 revolutions toward you after to put the feed dogs up?

Use a penny or a nickel in the screw head. Works like a charm

Your manual is available for free to download at www.brother-usa.com under support and you can make the diagrams really large to see exactly what you are doing.

hello,the E1 code simply means the machine is working so hard,you can follow the information below to help you fix the problem,

The instructions for bobbin winding tell you to click the start button for the bobbin to wind. When you do that you get that E1 with a beeping. What they don't explain is that in order to press that "UP" arrow button to get the bobbin to wind..........you need to UNPLUG the foot control. So, in other words it to be used for sewing w/o a foot pedal. Now instead of doing as per instructions, assuming you've plugged everything in (foot pedal), after winding is finished just press the foot pedal and your off and running or sewing as the case may be. BTW, look it up in the TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION OF YOUR MANUAL.
please kindly rate the solution if it;s helpful,

take care.

try changing the needle-just incase it may have bent or be blunt or have a burr
take the bobbin out of the bobbin case & put it back in again
check the thread take up lever to see if it's threaded- when the thread comes off it can cause the machine to jam in the bobbin area

Go to singer website singerco.com and type in tt600, I found it when I was looking for a 600, so you may have to just type in 600. Good luck. BTW, why do you have a picture of the Brother cs6000i?

If it is not broken, just slide it back on and line up with the eye of the needle. If, broken, call Brother, at 1-877-276-8437. Don't worry I have one of these machines too, they are tougher than they look. I have 6 sewing machines and each one has their own quirks.

Try this test when you have your machine threaded, with the presser foot up, pull on the top thread, it should move smoothly, then with the presser foot down, pull the thread and it should barely move. Sometimes, it has to seat in the discs to be threaded right. Also, try a new needle. sometimes they get a little bent or a burr on them. Good luck, if all else fails, call Brother at 1-877-276-8437

what does code E6 mean and how can i fix it?

The top thread is fine but the thread on the botton is a mess sometimes is has to be cut out

I turned up my husband's jeans using a size 100 needle. You can get easy thread needles that have a small gap in one side that you slide the thread through. There is a good way to turn up jeans and keep the original hem without having to cut them. Have a look at this site http://www.daciaray.com/?p=38

Take it back to the retailer, and get another one, I think that the timing may be off.

Do you have a lever below the digital stitch window? That's where you change the speed. There are 3 speeds on this machine ranging from "slower than frozen molasses" to "autobahn" ... When you try the different speeds, you'll see what I mean!
