When I turn on the sewing machine why it will not sew. It takes a long time for LCD screen to come on. When it does come on says ready for straight stitch and I get a beeping sound.

can you not take or send the machine back, you say you just bought it?

Hi-

Chances are you need to reset the settings. check the guides as well for the correct setup.

Hope this helps

Hi Peggy,

 

I know this want be easy for you.  I need any kind of part number you can get off the LCD screen.  Is it a display and you type the different stitch stuff into a keypad?  Or , is the LCD a touch screen that you touch the screen to select a stitch?  I do not have one of these Sewing machines, but I do Electronics repair. Is your Screen Black and not displaying anything?  I believe we can work through this and get you a repair solution. The back light may have gone out on the screen only. Please reply with more info, so that we can get you a solid solution.  By the way, Singer really does not make those anymore.  They are making a more modern Screen at this time. Usually after 5 years, the manufacturers stop making parts for a model. Good news though, we can work on repairing the one you have. Go to Ebay and see if we can buy a XL1000, or other venue to rob the parts from. 

Check that the LCD screen adjustment has not been dimmed or darkened. If that is not the case, then a component is or has most likely failed.

a mechanical sewing machine has only knobs & dials
a computerized has a LCD screen-some screens are large & some are small,,a lot of people like computerized or electronic- because they are push buttons,,
I personally have a mechanical sewing machine & a electronic or computerized sewing machine
I use both to make clothes & quilts, my husband which does quilting like the electronic machine better, cause it's push button.
when I make buttonholes I use the electronic sewing machine because it does it in one step automatically
there are a lot of advantages to the electronic sewing machine, push button, one step buttonhole,
needle threader, decorative stitches, the stitch length & stitch width are push button selection
when you get a sewing machine make sure it has a manual with it,,that's very important,,it will tell you the different functions of the machine & how to do the setting.
as far as brand of sewing machine, I've owned singer, babylock, brother, necchi, machines, there are good & bad in any brand, when you buy one if it doesn't work when you take it out of the box & start sewing--take it back & get another one--cause machine should be ready to sew when you take it out of the box
happy sewing

Are you kidding me.....I can pay to be on your plan and you may suggest a solution.
But I can tell you how I fixed the problem for free??
I'll let you know for $19.95!!!

Perhaps the bobbin winding mechanism is stuck. Probably needs service.

Also, check the bobbin and bobbin case. Perhaps there is some thread stuck or it is not securely threaded through the tensioner.

I have the same problem with the same machine. Can you tell me if you got it fixed, if so how?

this sounds like its set for zippers check settings!
