SOURCE: bobbin case on brother sewing machine

Well, from the picture I see that your bobbin is a front load as opposed to a top load.. if you tilt the front panel down, you will see where the bobbin and casing goes. Put the bobbin in the casing with the thread pulling from the right hand side of the casing making sure the thread in guided into the small **** on the top edge of the casing.. On the back of the casing the will be a small tab. Pull that away from the casing and enter the casing in to the opening for the bobbin. It should snap into place when you release the little tab.

SOURCE: can't draw up the bobbin thread

Make sure you have enough of a "tail" from teh bobbin... Probably 4 inches or so before starting. If that doesn't work, check upper tension and needle is properly seated.

The needle drags the thread down and then starts back up causing a loop at the eye which a shuttle goes through and acrries the upper thread over the bobbin. The upper thread then drags the bobbing thread up.

Lower bobbin threading Brother

  1. Turn the power switch to "o".
  2. Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the balance wheel towards you (anti-clockwise) and raise the presser foot lever.
  3. Open the shuttle cover behind the extension table on the the front of the machine and remove the bobbin case by pulling its latch towards you and pulling it out of the shuttle race. (fig A).
  4. Unwind about 10cm (4") of the thread from a full bobbin and insert it into the bobbin case. (see fig B-1). Pull the trailing thread into the slot then down and to the left, as shown in fig B-2, until it enters the delivery eye under the tension spring (fig B-3).
  5. Holding the bobbin case by the latch, fully insert the bobbin case into the shuttle race and release the latch. Make sure the bobbin case finger fits into the notch at the top of the race as shown in fig C.

Where do you apply oil to a brother LS-1217

Usually you take it to a Shop for cleaning out the lint and oiling.

Bobbin holders keeps slipping and thread tension issues

Make sure the needle is at it's highest position.

Lift the latch on the back of the bobbin case.

Hold it open and then insert it into the shuttle - finger (not yours, the upright "finger"on the case) pointing up.

You may have to move the bobbin case lightly to the left or right before it clicks into place.

When you thread the machine always make sure the presser foot lever is up and this will ensure proper tension of the top thread.

I have a brother LS-1217 sewing machine & the right side quit working.. Can anyone help me please

Download a free manual here - http://www.brother-usa.com/manuals/default.aspx?PGID=3&R3ModelID=LS1217

Right side - do you mean the handwheel does not turn?

This could be due to thread wrapped around the uptake lever or knotted up in the bobbin area.

Refer to the manual for the correct threading proceedure and for cleaning the bobbin area.

Be sure the presser foot is up and the needle is at it's highest position when threading or removing the bobbin case.

If this does not help, the machine will need to go into the shop.
