New Home Model 552 Sewing Machine Instruction Manual

If you need a manual, search the internet for:

Make + Model + the word "Manual"

or contact the manufacturer.

Try installing a brand new needle. A bent needle sometimes will not connect properly. Be sure that both upper and bobbin threads are threaded correctly.

On the other hand, the needle/hook could be out of time. You can check that by hand turning the handwheel and watching the needle/hook movement. There are a multitude of web sites and videos that discuss timing. Or--check with a sewing machine technician.

Ah ha! ok. Good machine. Take a piece of string and make your measurement with it. Or take of the existing belt and measure that.

Most belts can be had these days with an exception of some of the direct drive friction tires.

I got my last singer belt directly from it worked great!
