I have a Shark Intelli Sew 9110 Euro Pro. It was working fine and then my bobbin thread became tangled. I cleaned it out and now my needle goes down and then jams and it will not come back up. I can turn the wheel several times and then the needle takes off for about 5 seconds and then jams again. HELP! I have several projects to finish on a time schedule. Thanks a million!
There is no solution for that problem. My machine was doing the same thing, I returned it for "repair". Got it back 2 wks later and had the same problem. Just the other day, the machine did that, and then something "popped" and now the upper thread won't catch the bobbin thread. I called Customer Service and was told that if I want my machine repaired, I have to send them a check with the machine for $81! Your best bet...get rid of the Intelli-Sew and buy something that doesn't break every month or so!
I had the same problem. I unthreaded the machine, took the bobbin out, cleaned the bobbin chamber, turned the machine off, unplugged it for 45 seconds and finally put it all back together and it worked. Every time the tension is off, that is what happens and I just follow that process and keep going... turn off your beeper and it wont be AS frustrating!

I had a timing problem, I believe, and fixed it. But its not yet perfect.....What happened was the top thread was not being caught by the bobbin holder. So when I "sewed", there were no stitches. When I watched the bobbin through the window, the bobbin didnt turn, and thread didnt whiz around the bobbin holder as it should with each stitch. I even made a video to see if there was a timing problem...the needle went down well before the bobbin holder "thread catcher hook" arrived to catch the loop. So I took off the plate underneath the bobbin holder, and adjusted the timing. When you do that you will see a cogwheel that rotates as the bobbin holder rotates. Three alan wrench screws hold it tight to the axle that rotates with the handwheel/footplate. I loosened the alan wrench screws, and then did the following. Hold the needle holder so it doesnt move, and at the same time turn the hand wheel a little. This adjusts the timing of the needle relative to the bobbin turning. then plug the machine in, and see if the bobbin wheel is now catching the thread. Keep adjusting until it does. Then tighten things back up, and VOILA! Im not sure this is the best way to adjust the timing, but it works. My machine went from no stitches at all, to sewing nicely. Its not yet perfect, as it jams every now and then. But that may be because the timing is still a little off, or because the thread is bad, or the tension of the thread is not quite right......working on that still.......
So watching the bobbin mechanism work made me realize how complex it is. So in addition to the adjustment I made above to the timing it turns out the stitch length, the thickness of the cloth, the tension adjustment, and the thickness and quality of the thread are all important for the machine to sew decent stitches. I have adjusted all of these, and now my machine is sewing nicely.

Picked up mine yesterday, again for the second time. Sewed for about an hour. Then some pop and the thread got stuck under the plate. Now I just get top stitches. Again.
I love this machine - when it works. I paid $150 for it at BJ's in 05. The speed and the accuracy of the stitches on the Euro-pro compared to my $99 special, Singer from wally world is amazing. Unfortunately this timing issue..
I also called and was told $81 each way for shipping plus parts. . Even with a 25 year warranty? I paid $60 to have it fixed this time. With a 90 day warranty. And I informed him of this problem when he called. Oh well
