SOURCE: Bobbin Case

ok Sim this is a bit tricky but not to tricky first turn the handwheel toward you until the hook is at one o clock postion then slide the case without the bobbin in into the hook area you may have to work the handwheel back and forth alittle but it should slide in just remember that the case should ride in the rim. also take the needle out first that way you wont get stuck trust me it happiens.

SOURCE: while sewing the bobbin case moves, wheel locks up, needle locks

Im not sure if this will help but thought I would pass it along. My Pfaff 6122 tells me to check bobbin for thread unrolling clockwise before you place it back in the machine. I had mine turned to un roll counter clockwise, this is wrong, the bobbin will fall out when you pull on the thread while you are holding it in your hand. You may just keep putting it in backwards. Hope this works for you. J.R.

SOURCE: Brother CS-8150 Problems with bobbin thread

Double check to see if the bobbin is in upside down and the thread is feeding from the bobbin spool in the wrong direction.

I did this once after several years using the same machine, some days are just not as easy as they should be!

SOURCE: I have a CE-4000 model. In the middle of sewing,

When you put back in the bobbin case, there is a little "knub" that sticks out with a flat spot on the right (on the top side of it) that you need to ensure it rests gently to the left of the position finger bracket (silver metal piece, in the square of the bobbin case area its on the right closest to you).

When you put in initially, it was probably twisted clockwise and there was a gap between the knub and the position finger bracket and when you put the needle plate on in jams that bobbin case in that position and the needle just takes chunks out of it..

You might need a new bobbin case, try sanding out the needle marks with sandpaper.

Remove needle & reinsert needle( flat side towards the back of machine)
2. The needle is damaged
replace with new needle

Bobbin shuttle

1. Clean shuttle with your sewing machine brush to remove old broken threads, lint, and sweep out the feed dogs carefully. 2. Rethread making sure you have the handwheel turned toward you, all the way up. 3. Lift presser foot up BEFORE you put thread front to back in eye needle. 4. Set machine on straight stitch sewing. Attach straight stitch foot if necessary. 5. Make sure 5-6 inches of thread are pulled toward you from threaded needle. 6. Pull up bobbin thread. 7. Pull 5-6 inches of bobbin thread and put it, along with needle thread under presser foot. 8. Put fabric scrap under presser presser foot and LOWER it now. Make sure, too, that the needle is correct size for fabric you're sewing. 9. Do a test. You may need to set tension at 4, stitch length at about 4 and width at 6. Just test it and adjust tension in very, very short turns. Another tip: Put one drop of good quality sewing machine oil on the hook, lower left-hand side. Make sure when you thread bobbin in the bobbin case to hold bobbin between thumb and forefinger and pull out about 4 inches of thread after you make sure thread unwinds top left (if you are right-handed!). Guide the thread into the slot in edge of bobbin case (screw sits on top of this "edge". Pull thread under tension spring and then into the delivery eye. Never panic, my friend! Try this and see if this helps. You should probably insert new needle too--just in case "old" one bent. Jimmy

I have my Mother's Brother XL3750, no book or accessories. It will sew in reverse only. I don't even know where the reverse button is. The only thing that I have tried is the big lever front...

you can download a manual for your machine from the Brother website,
link is
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/files/dlf/doch000452/bm2736xl26i35i375ug04enes.pdf

Reverse is the big lever in front but it should be sprung so you need to hold it down to reverse; if your machine is only sewing backwards, this lever might be stuck or locked into position. Check out page 25 and 26 in the manual for specific info.

I cant get the needle to catch the bobbin thread. I just received the machine, i might not be doing it write? any suggestions

This has to be done by hand.
Raise the presser foot, then thread all the way down to the needle. Put in the full bobbin with thread end loose and visible. Hold the end of the thread in the needle with one hand and carefully turn the wheel so that the needle lowers and lifts the bobbin thread. Place both threads behind the presser foot. Now you can sew.
