Question about Necchi Sewing Machines

Stuck bobbin The thread on my Necchi 525 kept getting stuck, the foot pad would just make a jammed sound and I couldn't turn the wheel. I tried to take out the bobbin and put it back and now the bobbin is stuck and I can't get it out. I ran a needle in every opening I saw, but didn't get any tangled string so I don't know why it's stuck. Help?

SOURCE: Thread getting caught underneath

you need to replace your shukle that holds the tread bobbing below.it is either slack or broken . if it is slack then you tighten the little screw that holds a cover that gives the thread tension .if its broken then replace it.once the thread is slack below it will cause your thread to bundle up.

SOURCE: Bottom thread will not catch

Unplug the machine and remove the needle plate so that the bobbin case if fully exposed. Lift out the bobbin case and the cup that it sets in will be visible. Locate the "hook" on this cup. It is a finger with a sharp point at the upper edge of the cup. The hook is what grabs the thread from the needle while sewing.

Thread the needle.
Turn the handwheel by hand.
Watch the hook as it approaches the needle from right to left.

If the hook passes by the needle AFTER the eye of the needle is above it, you timing has slipped and the machine must be taken in for repair.
If the hook catches the thread from the needle, put everything back together and try threading again.

Hi Jeanette! You have a Singer Featherweight--the best sewing machine ever made! (Mine dates from 1950/51 and I wouldn't trade it for the world.) These beautiful, sturdy machines were designed to be easily repairable at home, but you'll need a copy of the Service Manual (get the Instruction manual too, if you don't have one.) Go to www.singer-featherweight.com and check out what they have available.

I had a similar problem (needle thread not catching the bobbin thread) and the problem was that I hadn't put the needle in correctly (flat side to the left). Also, I will occasionally get thread wrapped around the bobbin housing--sewing along just great and then everything comes to a screeching halt. I'm not sure why that happens, but I'm getting pretty good at taking the bobbin housing apart. The manual is pretty clear on how to do it. You can contact me direct at robbie1949@comcast.net for more information.

Thanks!

Robbie

My bobbin thread is not working properly

1. The machines I've had, will have some pieces that can come out that hold the bobbin in place. There could be some thread stuck inside of there somewhere that you can't see until taking apart.
2. I had problems with my bobbin thread being big loops when I tried to use my darning foot. It turned out I was not always lowering my presser foot. (It's hard to notice since this foot raises up and down with the needle, so the foot looks up if the needle is up, even if the presser foot is down.) The tension on the upper string isn't engaged unless the presser foot is down, and really messes with the bobbin thread.
3. If you have a "bobbin case" that holds the thread in it, make sure that you can put the bobbin inside, pull the string through where it belongs, then hold the string and drop the bobbin case slightly. The string should pull out 5-7 inches or so. If it falls freely, you can tighten the adjustment screw to tighten the bobbin tension.

Turn wheel not turning easy

Hand wheel "stuck" because you have an obvious jam. Remove bobbin and clean bobbin case, put good quality sewing machine oil on oscillating hook and put new needle in flat side toward back all the way UP, and make sure presser foot UP when you thread machine. Jimmy

The needle is stuck in the Shark 612C model sewing machine, any solutions?

Try http://www.fixsewingmachine. com I also suggest that you clean bobbin case. Now, when needle is "stuck", this requires patience and care in "jiggling" the hand wheel to and fro until needle point begins to clear the jammed area. Carefully snip one thread that moves up under needle and jiggle hand wheel by carefully turning hand wheel toward you to see if you can move the take-up lever all the way up to the UP position. Look at bobbin case area and remove bobbin. Cut bobbin thread and remove bobbin case. Sweep gently with brush underneath case and carefully, gently sweep over the feed dogs, poking very ends of brush bristles into "teeth" area to remove lint, fuzz ball/s, and any loose thread/s. Raise presser foot, remove (possibly bent) needle. Insert new needle of appropriate size for fabric weight. Make sure needle pushed all the way up into needle bar groove, at side to back. Keep presser foot RAISED while rethreading. This allows thread to locate tension discs, and HOLD THREAD TAUT. Replace bobbin, making sure thread is EVENLY distributed on it. Imablanced bobbins cause jams, and bobbins with burrs and scratches can real havoc as well as the hook part of the shuttle where the bobbin fits. Smooth such areas with emery cloth carefully, ever so gently. Hope my suggestions are a solution for you. Jimmy

The thread hangs up inside the bobbin holder

A jammed machine is caused by thread being caught in the hook. Remove the upper thread and the bobbin case, turn the hand wheel towards you (counterclockwise) by hand and remove any thread in the bobbin case area. *Always turn the hand wheel towards you. Turning the hand wheel away from you (clockwise) can cause the machines timing to become unaligned and jam your machine. Also, always make sure the presser foot is in the down position before you start sewing. Sewing with the presser foot in the up position will jam your machine in the bobbin case.

Handwheel Stuck

How about the belt? you have to take off the outer case, usually a few screws and check it. Also, when you have the case off, look for thread inside.

The bobbin thread is sewing loose stitches and jamming the machine. I have re-threaded everything, brushed out the bobbin casing, changed needles, adjusted thread and bobbin tension, and am stuck and...

Always have the presser foot up when you thead any sewing machine.

Make sure the flat side of the needle shaft is facing to the back of the machine.

Don't do anything to the bobbin tension. Set the top thread tension to what is recommended by the mfg.

Make sure the thread from the bobbin is feeding from the bobbin in the correct direction and through the correct guides.

After inserting the bobbin and threading the machine, lower the needle (hold on to the thread tail) and then raise it by turning the hand wheel by hand to pull up the bobbin thread.

Gently pull the two threads under the presser foot and to the back of the sewing machine before you begin to sew.

The bobbin is getting caught and needle is jamming

This sounds like there is cotton stuck in the bobbin holder. Check it thoroughly. Take the bobbin out and turn the wheel to lower the needle a few times. This will show up any thread caught. Pull it out gently. You may have to perservere to get it all out.
