20 Most Recent Singer 2250 Tradition - Page 3 Questions & Answers

There is a product on-line called the "Wonder Thread Guide" (made in USA). ** F&E Company, Montrose, CO 81403**I used it to replace a broken thread spindle, it works by sliding a spindle over the stub of the broken one, so thread stand upright instead horizontally. It is MARKETED to eliminate tangling, twisting, breakage, etc. Functions on all sewing/embroidery / quilting machines. Sandy34287

Personally regret to hear a kind of problem that you have on the machine, however the other customers are enjoying and benefited from it for one reason they were given demonstration before/upon purchasing the 2250. If your new machine does not include a demo cd, I suggest you visit singer site thru google "singer 2250 sewing machine" and you may be able to download the video on how to use the machine. Hope that can be useful.

You may need either a new foot pedal or an air transducer. That's not as scary as it sounds, I just replaced mine:) You can get parts cheap at Sewingparts.com.

Take a deep breath Joan!! The info is there.... you just need to slow down and study it a bit. Ok so you got to step 5. The next step is to draw the thread up the left channel and slip it into the take up lever slot. (You should have already turned the handwheel so the needle is at its highest point so the takeup lever is peaking out at you.) Simply draw the thread to the right of the metal take up lever... and over the top of it and down the the left. This should make your thread slip into the slot. Then take the thread down and slide it under the thread guide (7) and finally thread your needle.

first try changing the needlethen adjust the top thread tension one number or letter and thensew on a scrap piece of fabric till the stitch improves.here's a link for a free manual just incase you don't have onehttp://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/561_2250-eng_spa_fre.pdf

These plastic machines are like computer cases. Get a thin bladed tool and wedge it between the sections... look for those "tab locks" and release them. Good luck.

oh ick. First take some clippers and clip the threads as best you can from under the fabric. Get the fabric out of the way. Now, loosening the needle holder, push the needle down... and tip it out of the holder. Take off the pressure Foot. Now you should have nothing other than threads and needle. Tke off the needle throat plate or tip it up by removing any screws... get under there with sharp pointed scissors and clip the threads doing your best to free the needle. Once the needle is free... throw it away.. it is probably damaged. Now you have to clear out ALL the threads in the feed dog, bobbin, area. This may mean removing the bobbin race and basket. Take care... make sure you KNOW where everything goes and how it fits together. Once you have it all clean under there... replace everything. Put in a new needle and rethread. From now on make sure you grasp the threads when starting a seam... then let go.

needle has bend remove power from mains supply and remove the needle then fit new needle

The tension must have gotten loose during use, try adjust the tension on the thread, and the bobbin casing.

the best suggestion is to take it to a sewing machine shop

try youtube or ehow
