Singer 2732 thread not staying on the take up lever

My thread keeps falling off of the take off lever. I can re-thread the machine and it will sew fine for about 10 inches and then I hear a loud noise and the machine has dropped the thread from the take up lever. Do you think its my tension?

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 up
lever a little but don't damage the take up lever

if you don't have a manual, here is a link for a free manual

SOURCE: thread balls up in the bobbin/singer sewing machine, also thread

The balance stitch control on this model is below the stitch patterns; to the far right.

If you need a manual you can download a free one at the Singer Company website.

SOURCE: Wads of Thread Caught in Singer Simple Sewing Machine

Sounds like you threaded it wrong and kept trying to sew, gently get all of your material out of the machine, DO NOT FORCE, GENTLY ROCK IT OUT OR YOU WILL WRECK THE MACHINE, also watch your dvd and learn about threading from your book. Always, hold your thread ends when you start to sew. If, you cannot find your manual go to www.singerco.com, I have sewn for 50+ years and found that the dvd was very helpful, each machine is different.

you might try taking a pair of pliers & gently closing the gap in the thread take up lever, I had the same problem in my mechanical sewing machine & that's what it took to fix it, the thread doesn't slip off any more when I'm sewing.

SOURCE: I have a Singer 2732.

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.

I HAVE A SINGER SEWING MACHINE MODEL 2732 AND NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE BOBBIN COME UP. I AM LOOKING FOR THE MANUAL FOR THIS MODEL. PLEASE HELP.

When threading your needle make sure you pull enough thread through...a good 4 inches will do..hold the end of the thread and turn your hand wheel by hand until needle comes back up...you should have a loop around your upper thread ...pull this loop out towards you..you should now have two threads..cut threads till about 2 inches and make sure you position threads through the center of your sewing foot and towards the back of your machine. Good Luck

Problems with Singer 2732

"Birdnesting" occurs when there is no tension on the needle thread to pull the bobbin thread. This is easily corrected by rethreading the machine, following the threading path carefully and making sure the thread is fully engaged in the tension mechanism.

Singer model 2732

It is either inserted incorrectly or the bobbin case needs replacing. Check the bobbin case by running finger tip around the outside of case, if rough spot needs replace. There is a ltch that is spring loaded you must hold back with small bladed screwdriver while inserting case for proper placement
