I have a White Heavy Duty sewing machine model # 1919 serial #19374.The problem I am having is this: While sewing the the inner part of the large knob on the side of the machine works itself loose. I realize it is suppose to looosen when you don't want the needle moving up and down but it does it on it's own and causes the machine to stop sewing. How can I stop this from happening? I purchased this machine quite a few years ago and have no place locally to take it to be serviced.

SOURCE: Hand wheel spins without moving the needle

I used to have an old Bernina that had an inner and outer hand wheel. Loosening the inner wheel disconnected the needle bar from the motor so you could wind the bobbin without running the needle up and down. It sounds to me like your machine has the same feature, but resistance on the needle makes the inner wheel loosen up. I don't know whether wrenching on it as tight as you can would be enough, or whether this is a symptom indicating that there is something loose internally in the connection between the inner and outer wheels. Good luck!

Hi Jo,
Is there a way for you to email me a digital picture of your old bobbin case? I guarantee you we have one for your machine I just need to know what yours looks like!

Generally when the needle does not pick up the bobbin thread, it means the needle is either too far in or just plain the wrong length. YOu might want to try lowering the needle just a hair and see if that helps.
