Belt slipping sewing machine simplicity

The needle will go up and down if I crank the wheel by hand. But whenever you go to push on the power pedal, all you get is a slipping belt noise. Was working with a heavier fabric when the needle got stuck in down position. Now the belt just seems to be loose. Need to know how to access belt area. Instruction manual has nothing about belts.

SOURCE: I live overseas, and brought this sewing machine

its not transformer or machine problem at all.all the connections are also proper.its the power issue the required power to the machine is not getting from the electric outlet.just call the local electrician and check out the power supply voltage from the electric outlet.and power required to the machine which will be listed on the machine.if more power is required he will connect the over power IC and get the machine work.if less power is required he will connect the RESISTOR and lower the power to the machine and make it work.

Hi. I believe your machine has a snap-on pressure foot. I've posted pictures of snap-on pressure feet at www.robbiesews.blogspot.com; just look for the 'pressure foot' tag or search the site for pressure feet and you shouldn't have any problem finding that post.

Anyway, there is an adapter (called an 'ankle') at the end of the 'long iron piece that lowers and raises the foot' (excellent description, BTW). The ankle attaches to that piece with a small thumb screw. With the ankle in place, you just lower the ankle onto the catch on the pressure foot.

You can also use regular low-shank feet on your machine. First, remove the ankle. The regular low-shank feet will attach to the raiser bar with that same thumb screw that holds the ankle in place.

You really should get a replacement manual for your machine. I found manuals for Simplicity sewing machines at http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/simplicity-sewing-machine-instruction-manuals.aspx.

Hope this helps!

Sorry the needle is not going down,
Needles will not go down for:
1. The lock on the hand wheel isn't locking. Try this
a. Loosen the lock like you're going to wind a bobbin.
b. Loosen screw that is on the side of the lock. (sometimes front)
c. Tighten the lock just like when you're going to sew.
d. Tighten the screw that is on the side of the lock.(sometimes front)
e. Turn hand wheel by hand. Did the needle rise and fall?
2. The drive belt isn't moving the shaft.
a. Remove the top of the sewing machine.
b. You will most likely have to remove the panel on the end where the hand wheel is.
c. Turn your hand wheel to see if the belt is moving the shaft or is it broken?
d. Replace if you need to. (look at wear). Loosen the motor.
e. Make your motor run (foot pedal) slowly. Tighten the belt by pushing on the motor while it is running. When the motor is placed at the right place the motor will be moving with very little drag. (This will need a listening ear)
f. At this point tighten motor and retest for the speed and drag.

Gear selector repair Or something
When you switch off the machine, turn your hand wheel towards you, if the hand wheel can move freely but the needle bar does not, three possibilities on most machines - the upright gear has worn out or the timing gear is worn out or the the timing belt loose or broken.

Needle not moving. Checked power and tightened hand wheel.
Yes it should have 2. Now that you've moved the hand wheel... It's also out of time.

Take it in and have it cleaned, oiled, adjusted and the belts replaced.

The needle does not move when the foot pedal is used.
Make sure that you pushed the bobbin winder all the way to the left.

Simplicity model 1512. - quite sewing- the motor will run but needle will not move
I would say that the belt is broken or has came off the pulley. If you turn the hand wheel, does the needle move up and down. If it moves up and down, your problem is the belt. Remove necessary covers to access the motor pulley. Inspect, repair or replace as necessary.
Please vote if my information is helpful or not. Recommend me. Thanks UAW 974

When I turn on my PFAFF 1222 it wont sew
It may be in bobbin filling mode. Can you turn the inner circular on the hand crank. If you can click it into position, this should engage the needle mechanism.

How do you thread the machine, top and bottom, please.
From the Simplicity Sew Precious Model SWSP2 manual:

Inserting a new bobbin:
  1. Place wound bobbin into the bobbin case.
  2. Pull about 6 inches of thread out from the bobbin.
NOTE: Be sure that the bobbin rotates COUNTER-CLOCKWISE when thread is pulled.
  1. Pass the thread from the bobbin, under the bobbin case spring, and toward the back of the machine.
  2. Slide bobbin cover back into position.

Upper threading:
  1. Turn the handwheel toward you to raise the take-up lever to its highest position.
  2. Lower the presser foot.
  3. Place a spool of thread and spool cap on the spool pin.
  4. Place the thread into the first thread guide at the top of the machine.
  5. Bring the thread down the right slot of the threading path, then around the tension dial. Push the thread tension release lever and pull the thread up so the thread is secure in the thread tension dial.
  6. Bring the thread up the left slot of the threading path and through the take-up lever from right to left.
  7. Bring the thread back down the left slot of the threading path and into the needle eye from front to back. (Clip the thread end with sharp scissors fro easier needle threading.)

Raising the bobbin thread
  1. Make sure the presser foot lever is raised.
  2. Hold the end of the needle thread with your left hand. Turn the hand wheel toward you with your right hand until the needle goes down once and comes back up, stopping when the needle is at its highest position.
  3. Gently pull up on the needle thread. The bobbin thread, looped around the needle thread, will be drawn up through the needle hole.
  4. Push the thread tension release lever and pull about six inches of both the upper and lower threads toward the back of the machine, placing them under the presser foot.
