Necchi 4595 feed dogs keep dropping - Necchi 4595 Mechanical Sewing Machine

SOURCE: how do you raise the feed dog

I realize this is a year too late, but maybe someone else can benefit from this answer... I have a 3204B and the feed dog is to the right of the bobbin area. It has red lettering on the face and requires a little umph to raise it.

SOURCE: I have a necchi 4595, and well I cannot figure out

It's just in the front panel, where the drawing of all the built in stitches are, it's the drawing number eleven from the left, you'll see a zig zag (red) and a straight stitch (black) Select A group of stitches (knob with the arrow) and then select the eleventh stitch (same knob but use the dial, look the manual) and then select zero on your stitch width dial. Hope that helps :)

If , you go to www.tias.com you wil be able to purchase a copy of a technicians book, the Sears Kenmore Sensor Sew 100 was the same machine, Necchi made it for them. Parts are going to be next to impossible to get. My motor is shot, but everything else is like brand new, boards etc. I bought the book and that is why I knew it was the motor. Sometimes, ebay will have one for sale, but they want too much. I am using mine as a doorstop, LOL, I paid $800 for it new in 19884. Good luck

I also own 2 necchi sewing machines, my mechanical is a 4595,,
lower thread tension
to test the bobbin tension, remove the bobbin case & bobbin & hold it by suspending it byb the thread, **** it once or twice, if the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about an inch or two.
if the tension is too tight, it does not unwind at all, if the tension is too loose, it will drop too much.
to adjust the tension,, left is loosen & to the right tighten

thread breaks
rethread the machine making sure to get all thread guides
top thread tension usually 3 or 4
replace needle- make sure the needle is inserted correctly
some needles don't work with some thread, here's a tip

Cut 6-8 inch piece of thread of the spool you are going to use for your project
Take the needle you are going to use for the project
& insert the thread thru the eye of the needle
& lift one end of the thread to a 45 degree angle
& if the needle is the right size for the thread it will slide down the thread
But if the needle hangs on the thread you need one size larger needle for the thread

Hi

I had to open up the machine and figure out how the feed dog worked which was pretty easy. You will need a Phillips head to remove the protective cover on the bottom area of the sewing area, and the back of the machine that has the side with the presser foot lift or drop. Keep the screws in a bowl or a container to keep them from being lost and make sure you remember where the screws go...there are two that are removed that are different from the rest. Once you access the unit you will look into the bottom area and look at how the feed dog moves up and down....its okay to touch it. Once you see how it moves up and down you will also see that there is a black screw without a head on it that has an impression for a flat head screwdriver (a small one) and has a nut attached. When the screw is turned in either direction it lifts or drops the feed dog. The nut must be loose to adjust the screw and tightened once you raise it to the desired height. Make sure you try out the stitching before you close everything up as your bottom stitch will be affected if the feed dog it to high.

BTW take out the needle before you start messing with the machine so you don't hurt yourself.
And while you are in there, clean the lint out.

My kids lost my little brush and seem ripper that came with it, so I use a small paintbrush to clean out the machine.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
