My Brother 1034D Serger presser foot lifter just spins. I had read that its just glued into a little plastic piece. Has anyone had this same problem and if so did you just glue it back? Did it wor

I had the same problem a while back and ask here. I was told to take it to a tech. Not the answer I was looking for. I did some searching and found a diagram then knew what I needed. Here is my reply... I just replaced mine. wasn't hard at all. I couldn't find just the plastic part, had to buy the whole thing. First it is called a Presser foot shaft assembly, part #xb0876001. You can buy it from Sew4Less.com and it cost me 25.57 with shipping. You will have to remove the front cover and take out the two screws holding the bar in. You will also need to remove the lifter bar and end panel to get the bar out. Insert your new part and replace the covers and lifter bar. This is how I fixed mine. Hope it helps.

How to turn safety lock off on nx-400

Initially, the "safety device has been activated" error is usually caused by a jammed thread or fabric. 2 possible causes The upper thread has become tangled around the bobbin case, The needle is bent and hitting the needle plate, so the machine stops. To fix this error. 1, Unplug your machine, 2. Remove the needle ( I know it is in a down position and locked up) but you can be able to remove it. 3. After removing the needle, turn your hand wheel if still locked up or stiff. Remove your needle plate and remove all your threads both upper and lower. 4. Clean your bobbin area using a brush take a deep breath then blow. 5. After that, try to turn your hand wheel again, if the hand wheel moves freely, rethread your machine and replace your needle with a new one. Then try to sew a few stitches using a hand wheel (do not sew using a pedal) if the hand wheel creates stitches that is the time to sew using the pedal. If the problem is still there, you possibly have broken gear that needs to be replaced

Janome 6500. What is causing my top thread to be able to pull it right out?? Looks fine but can pull the thread right up through the sewing.

Question edited for clarity. Your tension is incorrect, either the top tension is too tight or the bottom tension is too loose. Tension is a delicate tug of war between top and bottom thread to get the hooked loop of thread dead centre in the pieces of material. The is also a slight possibility that you are using a need that is too large and making a hole that is too big for the thread, and is making it loose. The top video is the best one ever made in the history of sewing machines.

Looking for a walking foot for Kenmore 385.16554 model. Where can I get one?

Most good sewing machine suppliers should be able to get you one. If yours is a reasonably new machine (last 20 years or so) and it is a low shank machine they're quite easy to get and usually reasonably cheap.

The pressure foot on my bernina bernette 715 won't move

Troubleshoot this. Here are some steps you can take: Safety Setting Adjustment: In newer firmware versions (V9.xx), a safety sewing setting was added to prevent the ruler foot from hitting the needle holder when the foot is hovering and the needle is down. If your presser foot only raises slightly (about 2mm), it might be due to this safety setting. To resolve this, change the setting from the maximum of 2mm to a maximum of 6mm. Remember to switch it back to the original setting when using the ruler foot. Check the Needle Position: Ensure that the needle is in the highest position (raised) before attempting to move the presser foot. If the needle is down, the presser foot may not move freely. Inspect for Obstructions: Examine the area around the presser foot for any obstructions, tangled threads, or debris. Make sure there's nothing preventing the presser foot from moving smoothly. Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment: Uneven fabric feed can occur if the pressure on the presser foot is too high or too low. Adjust the presser foot pressure according to the thickness of the fabric you're working with. Power Cycle and Reconnect: Turn off the machine and disconnect it from the power source. Reconnect it and power it back on. Refer to the Manual: Consult your Bernina Bernette 715 user manual for specific troubleshooting steps related to the presser foot. If these steps don't resolve the problem, you may have to take it to a professional repair service.

Humvee HF-05 watch manual please?

Question edited for clarity, written backwards, add CAPS. I can normally move Category and get it out of Sewing Machines where you put it, but the mechanism to do that is broken so it will have to stay there forever. We have a Watch category.. It is a single crown watch. The crown has two or possibly three stop positions, the first ones do Day and Date and the furthest out does the time. https://www.google.com/search?q=Humvee+HF-05+watch+manual ..
