Singer Stylist 7258 Electric Sewing Machine - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
How do I reset an E7 error message?
HAAA!!!
Me, too!! I just got the same code. I actually took off all the stuff
to clean it (glad I did too because after a whole week of sewing on it
straight, it was hella filthy!), I still couldn't get it to work. The
answer is in the Singer FAQ website (http://www.singerco.com/support/frequently-asked-questions).
Your button hole lever has been bumped. It is just to the left of the
the needle bar. I just pulled mine all the way down, then pushed it all
the way back up. No more E7!!!! Color me happy for sure!
How to change needle position (left, right, center)
Which stitch are you using? As far as I can tell, the Stylist 7258 only allows you to change the needle position for straight stitches. If the machine is set to Pattern 00, press the right or left buttons from the 4 arrow keys in the manual setting arrows until the needle is in the desired position.
For all other stitches, the left/right arrows adjust the stitch width. This is described on page 30 (in English) of the manual. You can download the manual from the product page under the support tab: http://www.singerco.com/products/2101/7258-stylist#type-support . The direct link to the manual is http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/4951b452e963a8fe1dd1fd83fbac68a35df8cf19.pdf .
I hope this helps.

Why does it make a knocking noise as it sews?
the needle position is up tight in the holder and no where else
the cut away bit of the needle faces the bobbin case hook and the groove in the needle faces the end of the machine and gives clearance for the thread to pass through the material
from your description and what you did, the needle /hook timing needs adjusting as it is out
turn the machine over by hand as in sewing and watch the position of the eye of the needle and the bobbin case hook
just as the needle starts to move up, the hook should be just above the eye of the needle at the edge of the needle
The adjustment is by loosing off the screw on the vertical shaft at the end of the machine that is attached to an arm that moves the needle up and down and move that bit up or down until the needle is positioned correctly to the hook
tighten up the screw
next is to check the needle tension is not too tight
workshop manuals are available on line in pdf version or take it to a sewing machine repair shop for a proper diagnosis
Can't work lever to raise foot on Singer sewing machine
Presser Foot Release Lever:
First, check if the presser foot release lever is functioning properly. Sometimes, it may be stuck or not engaging correctly. Make sure it moves freely and isn't obstructed.
If it's not working, try slackening the presser foot tension using the dial on top of the machine. If that doesn't help, you might need to adjust the presser bar slightly.
Presser Bar Adjustment:
If the presser bar was loose to begin with, completely slacken off the pressure.
Put the presser foot up using the lever, then slacken off the screw on the bar and adjust the presser bar as needed.
Handwheel Stuck:
If the handwheel is stuck, it could be due to issues with gears, cams, or other internal mechanisms.
Inspect the machine's casing or access panel for any signs of damage, such as broken teeth on gears or misaligned cams.
Thread Take-Up Lever:
If the take-up lever isn't moving up and down even when you manually turn the handwheel, check the hand clutch.
Tighten and adjust the inner portion of the wheel on the right side of your machine and the hand clutch.
If these don't do the job, you might consult Singer's customer service or a repair shot.
My Singer 312 won't go back to a straight stitch. Any ideas? TIA
Inspect the Stitch Width Control: The stitch width control determines how wide the zigzag stitch is. If it's set to a wide zigzag, the machine will remain in that mode. Adjust the stitch width control to the narrowest setting (usually zero) for straight stitching.
Clean and Lubricate: Dust, lint, or debris can interfere with the machine's mechanisms. Turn off the machine, unplug it, and clean the bobbin area, feed dogs, and needle plate. Lubricate any moving parts according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Check the Needle Position: Make sure the needle is centered. If it's off-center, the machine may default to zigzag mode. Adjust the needle position if needed.
Test with a New Needle: A bent or dull needle can cause stitching issues. Replace the needle with a new one and ensure it's compatible with your machine.
Reset the Machine: Turn off the machine, unplug it, and wait for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes reset the internal settings.
Consult the Manual: Refer to your Singer 312 sewing machine's manual for specific troubleshooting steps related to zigzag issues. The manual may provide additional insights or solutions.
The needle and hand wheel on my singer 140q are both jammed. There were no issues with the bobbin or case, no jams there. I can still wind a bobbin on top but once I switch it back to sew the needle and hand wheel are still stuck. No busted belts either.
If both the needle and the hand wheel on your Singer 140Q sewing machine are jammed, it indicates a more serious issue that likely requires attention. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and possibly resolve the problem:
1. Turn Off the Machine: Start by turning off the sewing machine and unplugging it from the power source. This ensures safety while you troubleshoot the issue.
2. Check for Obstructions: Inspect the area around the needle and hand wheel for any obstructions such as broken needles, tangled thread, or debris. Remove any obstructions carefully.
3. Rotate the Hand wheel: Gently try to rotate the hand wheel manually. If it's stuck, avoid forcing it as this could cause further damage. Instead, try to identify what's causing the jam by examining the mechanism closely.
4. Inspect the Bobbin Area: Open the bobbin case and remove the bobbin. Check for any tangles of thread or debris that could be causing the jam. Clean the bobbin area thoroughly.
5. Check the Needle: Remove the needle and inspect it for any damage. Replace the needle if it's bent, dull, or damaged in any way.
6. Oil the Machine: Lubrication is important for smooth operation. Apply a drop of sewing machine oil to the moving parts, such as the hand wheel shaft and other points indicated in your machine's manual.
7. Professional Inspection: If you're unable to resolve the issue on your own, consider taking your sewing machine to a qualified technician for inspection and repair. They can diagnose the problem accurately and perform any necessary repairs.
Attempting to force the machine to work when it's jammed can potentially cause further damage. So, proceed with caution and prioritize safety while troubleshooting the issue.
Singer Futura CE 150. I bought a used carriage unit attachment for it and the it drags really hard. It won't move at all while on the machine or when I take it off. Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks
Question edited for clarity.
Do you mean the embroidery unit. If it is secondhand and has been stored for a long time, sewing machine oil, or worse WD40 goes 'gummy'. You would need to clean all the out. WD40 is a good solvent, so spray, leave it to soak, spray again and agitate with a brush. The wash it all off with hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly and after a few days, lubricate metal parts with sewing machine oil and any plastic parts with a dry silicone spray like Jigaloo. Test Jigaloo on a flat piece of plastic first as it is also a powerful fast drying solvent.
