20 Most Recent Singer 8763 Curvy Questions & Answers

Sometimes you have to manipulate the plate to get it to "settle" into its slots, but if it lined up before you took it off, it must line up now, IF your bobbin case is correctly inserted, which could be another possibility.

FIRST do you have it threaded correctly ?? SECOND try another bobbin

Your machine takes a low-shank foot, and they are very commonly available, either from eBay or Amazon, or any site that sells presser feet.

read the user manual and if you do not get anything from the trouble shooting section take it back for a warranty check as something may have moved from the material jam

Consult your owner's manual. Usually, if you remove the bobbin and the shuttle, the needle will fall free. You can also try (carefully!), turning the machine upside down and gently shaking it. ...

The machine should be able to pull the fabric through without any assistance from the user. Pulling or pushing fabric will frequently cause the needle to bend and then break when it hits the needle plate or the hook. Flying pieces of broken needle can be very dangerous for you as well as damaging to the machine because it can knock the needle/hook out of time. (Uh-oh! Service time!) Try installing a brand new needle specifically for the thread and fabric you are stitching. (Dull, nicked, or bent needles are probably the #1 sewing machine problem--an inexpensive fix for a very frustrating issue! Needles should be changed frequently or sooner if they are damaged.) All About NeedlesSome sewing machines also have a special accessory called a straight-stitch needle plate. Instead of having a horizontal rectangular shaped hole to accommodate the left-to-right needle swing to make a zig-zag stitch, there is a tiny round hole just big enough for the needle and thread to perform a straight stitch. The round needle hole is small enough to prevent or limit the chance of the fabric being pulled down into the bobbin area.Straight stitch plate:http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/271963297717?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82Zig-zag Needle Plate:https://www.google.com/search?q=Bernina+zig-zag+needle+plate&tbm=isch&imgil=PXesGDP1gxgggM%253A%253B0OfvcjNTtGe5oM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.thecolorfulworldofsewing.com%25252FNeedle-Plates-For-Bernina-1630.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=PXesGDP1gxgggM%253A%252C0OfvcjNTtGe5oM%252C_&usg=__Y0Wg3M9kgo4z4_1s4emmMPxKMBg%3D&biw=1173&bih=520&ved=0ahUKEwih7O-z0orLAhVB-2MKHZV6AwMQyjcIKA&ei=SZ3KVuGjA8H2jwOV9Y0Y#imgrc=PXesGDP1gxgggM%3A

No, adjust the needle height by rotating the handwheel to meet the threader. ...

Usually you have to manually move the needle up and down until its height matches the threader height. Newer machines have an automatic needle stop that generally matches the threader but most older machines need to be manually manipulated. HINT: If you do need to manually thread your needle, lick your index finger and then rub the back of the needle's eye. Your thread will literally "leap" through the eye! This works for hand-sewing needles too! ..

Test: With straight stitch and needle on left side sew. With straight stitch and needle on right side sew. Does one of the two sew and the other not sew? The reason is the timing of the needle and bobbin are not set right. In other words it is in need of timing from a repairman.

Consult your owner's manual. There is a handwheel release that, when loosened, will allow the bobbin to wind but stops the needlebar trying to stitch. ...

Check to make sure that your buttonhole lever is all the way up. Pull it all the way down, then gently "smack" it up into position. Next, check to make sure your bobbin winder is no engaged. Push it all the way to the right, then all the way to the left.

If the bottom thread is tight there should also be loops on top and this means that the upper tension is too tight. Get out your manual (http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/1198_8763-efs.pdf) and turn to page 24. Under "ADJUSTING TOP THREAD TENSION" it tells you that if you're having thread tension issues, change the tension control dial on the top of your machine from auto. It also shows you a diagram with your problem illustrated on the right side of the page. The bobbin tension is set at the factory, so all tension problems can be solved with top tension adjustment. Set it manually and if it loops on top, loosen the tension a little. Test again. Repeat until loops are gone. Using different colours on top and bobbin and a contrasting fabric (e.g. black top, white bottom, light blue fabric) means you can easily see what's happening. A perfect stitch is when you see exactly the same stitch pattern on both sides of the fabric. On top, the bobbin thread colour appears between stitches as a tiny dot and on the bottom, you see the top thread dot between stitches. If it's impossible to get the tension right, take it to a technician, because it's a sign that the hook timing needs attention.

I'm sure you've done this, but I'll just throw this out there. Did you pull the bobbin thread through the groove that slants on the left side of the needle plate starting from the upper left corner of the bobbin cover?

You need to change the correct size needles. There are two types of needles. One with cylindrical head and other with cylindrical head with flat surface on one side. The other problem may be the position of the direction of the thread passing through the needle. The third problem may be move your needle position one millimeter up or down and tighten it and check. Please follow through these 3 steps one by one. You can fix the problem

It's a numbered knob on the front of the machine. Lower numbers are looser; higher numbers are tighter. I found this out by downloading your user's manual at the Singer sewing machine website. It's free, and I recommend that you do that.

Yes, your machine takes a low-shank foot. That seems to be the most commonly used type for newer machines.

If your machine will not pick up the thread when you first put in a bobbin, your timing is probably out of synch, although it could also be caused by a needle that is either not inserted all the way up in the clamp, OR a needle that is not properly inserted, with the flat part in the proper direction. If your needle is properly inserted, you should get a technician to reset the timing for you.
