My singer 5825C model won't go forward. The wheel on the side can't be turned. I was just mending! What's wrong?

If your Singer 5825C sewing machine is not moving forward and the handwheel on the side is not turning, there might be a few potential issues that could be causing this problem. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

Thread Jam or Tangle: Check the area around the needle, bobbin, and feed dogs for any thread tangles or jams. Even a small piece of thread caught in the mechanism can prevent the machine from moving.
Bobbin Winding: Ensure that the bobbin winding mechanism is disengaged. If the bobbin winder is engaged, it can prevent the machine from sewing.
Presser Foot Position: Make sure the presser foot is in the down position. Sewing with the presser foot up can cause the fabric not to feed properly and prevent the machine from moving.
Needle Position: Check the needle position. If the needle is not inserted properly or if it's bent, it can cause the machine to jam and prevent movement.
Feed Dogs: The feed dogs might be stuck or not moving properly. Check for any debris or obstructions around the feed dogs and ensure they are moving freely.
Machine Lubrication: Insufficient lubrication can cause the machine's moving parts to seize up. Refer to your machine's manual for guidance on proper lubrication and maintenance.
Belt or Gear Issue: If the handwheel is not turning, it could indicate a problem with the belt or gear mechanism inside the machine. This might require opening the machine to inspect and possibly replace these components.
Machine Jam: If you've encountered a particularly tough area while sewing, it's possible that the machine is jammed. In this case, you may need to gently rock the handwheel back and forth to release the tension.
Professional Service: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's recommended to contact a professional sewing machine technician. They have experience with these machines and can diagnose and repair any mechanical issues.

Before attempting any troubleshooting or repairs, make sure the machine is turned off and unplugged from the power source. If you're not comfortable with any of the steps or if the issue seems complex, seeking professional assistance is recommended to avoid causing further damage to the machine.

My bobbin wont pick up on me simplicity se3

Make sure the needle is not bent and fully inserted into the holder. Replace needle if in doubt.

Be sure the bobbin is properly loaded onto case.

Only use the bobbin designed specifically for this machine.

Be sure the bobbin thread is captured by the bobbin tension spring when you load bobbin into machine. Use your left hand to position bobbin thread per machine instructions. Press on the bobbin with right index finger to prevent the bobbin from turning as you position bobbin thread. Dont use the bobbin thread trimmer, yet.

With left hand put tension on the bobbin thread as you pull bobbin thread towards the trimmer. When the bobbin thread is in the tension spring you can release right index finger and you will feel the resistance of the bobbin tension spring. Now finish the bobbin thread per machine instructions and use the bobbin thread trimmer.

Babylock enterptise embroidery machine. bobbin thread stitches get pulled up to top of fabric. How do I adjust tension to fix this problem?

Bobbin thread showing on top side means the top thread tension is too high or there is too little or no bobbin thread tension.

Be sure the bobbin thread has not escaped the bobbin thread tension spring.

If the bobbin thread is in its tension spring, there will some resistance when you pull the bobbin thread.

Select top thread tension 2, lower presser foot and pull on top thread. Tension should be similar to bobbin thread.

My bobbin winder will not engage

1. Turn the power on the machine.
2. Open the bobbin winder cover at the top on the right side of the sewing machine.
3. Swing up the bobbin thread spool pin. Move the bobbin thread spool pin up as far as possible.

1-Bobbin thread spool pin
4. Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder shaft so that the spring on the shaft fits into the notch in the bobbin.

1-Notch
2-Bobbin winder shaft spring
5. Slide the bobbin winder shaft to the right.

NOTE: If the correct size bobbin is not used at this time; when the bobbin winder is engaged; the bobbin winder will make a usual noise and not wind the bobbin correctly.
6. Place the spool of thread for the bobbin onto the bobbin thread spool pin.
7. Slide the spool cap onto the bobbin thread spool pin.
NOTE: If using thread that winds off quickly, such as nylon or metallic thread, place the spool net over the spool before placing the spool of thread onto the spool pin.
8. Pull out some thread, and then thread the thread guide for the bobbin winding. Hold the thread with both hands, and then securely pass the thread as far as possible into the two slits in the thread guide.

1-Thread guide for bobbin winding
2-Two slits
9. While using your left hand to hold the end of the thread that wraps around the thread guide for bobbin winding, use your right hand to wind the free end of the thread clockwise around the bobbin five or six times.

10. Pull the thread to the right and pass it through the slit in the bobbin winder seat.

Singer 5825C. Upper thread breaking. Have changed threads, cleaned bobbin case and changed needles. Last thing would be upper tension I suppose. Have exposed tension mechanism. How to clean?

I clean tension disks this way:

Loosen the top tension as much as possible.
ALWAYS raise the presser foot.
Soak a length of perle cotton in rubbing alcohol, squeeze out the excess, and then gently pull the perle cotton "down" through the tension mechanism several times . (Never pull up!) If there is any gunk stuck in there, this should remove it.

Avoid old or bargain bin thread. Use only good quality sewing machine thread. Also, some machines prefer thread brands over others.

Make sure you are using a needle that is compatible with the thread and fabric being sewn. A needle eye that is too small for the thread will cause the thread to break.

Coarse fabric sometimes will wear thread and cause it to fray and break. Look for a different type of thread.

Also, pay attention to how, where, and when the thread is breaking. That will give you an idea of the problem, ie if it sews an inch or two before breaking, that usually indicates something is catching and holding the thread from advancing (misthreading, catching on a thread guide, wrapped around the spool pin, tension too tight). You may see the top thread stretch and stretch before it finally pops.

I have an older singer, 5825c. After winding a bobbin the hand wheel will not stay engaged to sew.

Possibly something in the handwheel mechanism that controls that function has gone haywire. You may need to take it for service.

My bobbin thread breaks too much. How do I fix it.

Be sure you are using the correct bobbin for your machine. Even though it appears to fit the bobbin case, if it is the wrong bobbin, it could cause major headaches.

Try a different bobbin. Try different thread.

Also check that the bobbin thread is wound smoothly and turning the correct direction in the bobbin case. Make sure the thread is threaded through the bobbin tension properly.

AVOID old and inexpensive, bargain bin thread!

There could be a nick or burr somewhere that is catching the bobbin thread and breaking it.

Try loosening the bobbin tension a bit. It could be too tight, especially if the bobbin thread is pulling the upper thread down to the underside of the fabric.

There could also be something wrong with the bobbin case itself that may be resolved by trying a new bobbin case (or borrow one from a friend, etc.)

Im trying to wind a bobbin on my singer 5825c and the bobbin spindal isnt spining fast and my hand wheel is still spinning even though disk has been pushed

Sounds to me as if your clutch isn't working -- it's the part that's supposed to switch the machine from sewing to bobbin winding. While you CAN probably get it fixed, you can also just buy an inexpensive bobbin winder that in my opinion, frankly does a better job anyway.

The upper thread is too loose and the bobbin thread is taken up too much

It is the upper thread which pulls the bobbin thread up. If the bobbin thread is taken up to much, one solution is to loosen the upper thread -- but the upper thread is too loose. Therefore, the same problem needs to be combated from the bobbin side.
The thread from the bobbin should slide through a wedge. On that wedge should be a screw. It needs tightened. The bobbin thread should be tight as follows:
A fully loaded bobbin should tangle by the thread without falling. While dangling the bobbin by the thread, bounce the bobbin (yo-yo style). An easy tug should cause the bobbin to release an inch or two of thread and then the bobbin should stop falling on its own.
Once the bobbin tensioner is correct, you should be able to tighten the upper tensioner.

If you mean the Singer 5285C, the manual is available from Singer here: http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/449_5_6_8_10_slide.pdf . The diagram for winding the bobbin is on page 14 and inserting the bobbin is on page 15.

I'll attempt to walk through the steps. Push in on the indent on the hand wheel to lock the needle in the current position (note rotate the needle up first). Then with a spool on the spool pin and the cap securely holding the spool on the pin, snap the thread through the thread guide post (near the center back of the top of the machine). Then wind the thread clockwise through the bobbin tension guide (towards the center front of the top of the machine). Next run the thread through the hole in the bobbin (inside to outside). Place the bobbin on the bobbin spindle on the front of the machine near the right hand side of the machine. Hold onto the thread end at the bobbin and start pushing down of the foot controller. Fill the bobbin to the amount of thread that you need, or until it stops. Cut the thread going from the spool to the bobbin.. Remove the bobbin from the spindle and trim the thread end that is sticking through the hole in the bobbin. Press the hand wheel disc on the side opposite from the indent.

Inserting the bobbin requires you to lift the presser foot and have the needle in the highest position. Slide open the face plate and remove the empty or wrong color bobbin. With the hole in the bobbin up, pull about 4" of thread off the bobbin. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case and hold it down lightly with a finger. Guide the thread through the notch near the front of the bobbin case. Then lead the thread down into the slot on the left and then around the second notch. The thread should be heading towards the center of the bobbin (left to right). Pull the thread diagonally back to the back of the machine and slide the bobbin cover closed. The thread should be coming up through the opening between the cover and the needle faceplate. To pull up the bobbin thread, thread the needle and then hold onto this top thread. Rotate the hand-wheel towards you until the needle rises above the needle plate. Gently tug on the top thread to bring up the loop of thread. Separate the needle thread from the bobbin thread with your fingers. Bring the top thread through the left side opening in the presser foot and then pull both threads to the back of the machine.

I hope this helps.
