It would help us help you if you post the machine make and model? What is your experience with this machine?

The top thread, bobbin thread or both?

Suggest you try removing the bobbin and clean area and reload bobbin. Check that needle is not bent.

I have the same problem but I believe the answer is to purchase a new shuttle which is the part the bobbin sits in and is most likely scratched or damaged. The quote I got was 40-50 dollars

SOURCE: Wheel won't turn

Hello,

The same thing happend to me with an older model (Singer XL 10). I have been sewing a decorating stitch and the machine stopped suddenly. Now I am not able to turn the hand wheel anymore like I should (I can move it a little bit, but the needle does not move up and down and the wheel is getting stuck). When I try to use the pedal the motor makes a horrible noise and stops. The needle is not moving up and down.

Is there a solution for that problem? I moved from Europe to Australia and have not used my machine since. Today is the first day, I was cleaning and oiling it and it first sewed perfectly. In case that there would be thread stuck somewhere, how could I possibly clean that? I already took off the plastic from the head, but I can not see where the problem is.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelly

I'm having issues with my last spool of thread not joining with the other threads when I start sewing

There could be a few different reasons why your last spool of thread is not joining with the other threads when you start sewing. Here are a few possible causes and solutions:
  1. Tension issue: Check that the tension on all of your threads is set correctly. If the tension is too loose or too tight, it can cause the thread to not join properly. Make sure that your tension is set correctly for the type of fabric and thread you are using.
  2. Thread quality: Make sure that the last spool of thread you are using is of the same quality as the other threads you are using. If the thread is of lower quality, it may not join properly with the other threads.
  3. Thread path: Check that the thread is following the correct path through the machine. If the thread is not following the correct path, it may not join properly with the other threads. Make sure that the thread is threaded correctly through the machine.
  4. Needle issue: Check that your needle is the correct size for the type of fabric and thread you are using. If the needle is too small or too large, it can cause the thread to not join properly.
  5. Bobbin issue: Check that your bobbin is inserted correctly and that the thread is wound onto the bobbin evenly. If the bobbin is inserted incorrectly or the thread is unevenly wound onto the bobbin, it can cause the thread to not join properly.
  6. Cleanliness: Make sure that your machine is clean and free of lint and debris. Build-up of lint and debris can cause the thread to not join properly.
By checking these possible causes, you should be able to identify and fix the issue with your last spool of thread not joining with the other threads when you start sewing.

The lever for the presser foot on my Kenmore 158.441 sewing machine is locked in the down position

If the lever for the presser foot on your Kenmore 158.441 sewing machine is locked in the down position, there could be a few different issues causing the problem. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the presser foot: Make sure the presser foot is properly installed and aligned on the machine. If the presser foot is not properly installed or aligned, it can cause the lever to become stuck in the down position.
  2. Check the presser foot lever: Inspect the presser foot lever for any visible damage or looseness. Make sure the lever is not bent or broken and that it is properly aligned and connected to the machine.
  3. Check the threading: Make sure the machine is properly threaded. If the thread is not correctly aligned or tensioned, it can cause the presser foot lever to become stuck in the down position.
  4. Check for any other visible issues: Inspect the machine and its components for any visible issues that may be causing the presser foot lever to become stuck in the down position. This can include debris or foreign objects that may have gotten stuck in the machine, or damage to the machine or its components.
If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the machine serviced by a professional. A technician will be able to diagnose the problem and determine the necessary repairs.

Bobbin thread keeps breaking after I removed stabilizer that got stuck through the needle plate hole.Brother PR600. Any ideas to fix this?

It sounds like something is stuck inside after the stabilizer got jammed. Carefully open your machine; start with removing the needle, the presser foot, the bobbin, needle plate (if possible) and start looking around. I use a toothpick to gently (gently) remove dust balls, thread, etc from the machine. My thread was breaking and I found a little thread stuck inside. Once I removed the thread, the machine worked fine again.

I think timing is correct because hook catches thread every time, but when the hook finishes its rotation and releases the thread, the thread loop doesnt make it all the way around the bobbin case......it...

the catcher/hook on the bobbin case system loosen or not fix properly probably becoz of vibration or something( check or replace new), then check upper system either tension/ tighten of your thread/yarn or correct..

The macine said it was an E6 error thread jam which I completely cleaned the bobbin area (not much there anyway) but I still cannot get it to not jam the thread on the botom. I have changed needles also.

Hello

This code tells you that the motor locked up because the thread is tangled. Untangle the thread, make sure the machine is threaded properly and that the proper tension is set before continuing.

It could be that the bobbin is being put in upside down check to make sure that you do not need a bobbin with a magnet on one side. also make sure there is no thread tangled inside the bobbin housing it will cause the timing of the machine to be off and cause issues with your needle picking up the bobbin and thus cause a mess inside you bobbin housing

Brother XL-5340 sewing machine

Try a new needle, making sure it is put in properly. A bent needle can break thread. Make sure top tension is set properly.
