Sewing Basics 1 How to thread your machine

Hello Joyce Smith
Please refer to page 45 in the instruction manual which can be downloaded for free at this link

Instead of using invisible nylon, if at all possible use invisible polyester thread. It behaves better and does not break during prolonged stitching. Use a "Quilting" needle size 80/12.

Hello, go to this website and do a search for the model and how to thread it:
YouTube

here is a link for a free manual, read the manual competely thru
first and then if the machine has been sitting up for years look in
the manual for oiling instructions and then oil where it shows
and then sew on a scrap piece of fabric but don't use any thread
so the oil can move thru the machine and loosen it up,,
try using a new needle--one that is right for the fabric you sew

Almost every time this will be due to the machine being not threaded correctly. I've been sewing for 45 years and still mis-thread my machine occasionally. It's also possible that the bobbin thread didn't seat quite right when you put in the bobbin. Or, I've had mine do that if I didn't quite get the presser foot lever down completely. (working with heavy fabrics usually)

If that is not the case here, try replacing your needle with a new one, as it might have developed a small burr, and be certain that it's the correct needle for the fabric. Sometimes it can also be that the needle is in backwards. Also, cleaning it, (the bobbin area), out thoroughly by using a soft brush and some canned air can do wonders for it. Then use a drop or two of sewing machine oil where your manual indicates it to go in that area.

If none of that fixes the problem, let me know and I'll see if there is a problem specific to your machine that can happen.

Happy Sewing! :)

The singer site would be a good place to start. There are also groups on Facebook that you can ask a lot of questions about industrial machines.

I have one; please email me and I'll send you a copy of mine.
I'm also having a problem with mine; the top thread keeps breaking. I realize this must be a pretty basic question, but I am quite ignorant of the ways of sewing machines. I'm sewing just thin cotton pieces together for a quilt, Any suggestions would be welcomed.
