Might be a silly question but is your machine threaded correctly? Are you using a new needle, and new thread suitable for the material you are using? Also correct tension with the same thread in bobbin and top thread? :-)
If the upper thread is not intercepting the bobbin thread, first try a brand new needle. Verify that it is installed correctly--the flat side is facing the correct direction.
If it still doesn't pick up the bobbin thread, it most likely has a timing issue, ie the needle is arriving at the wrong time to meet the bobbin thread. Take it for service or search the internet for multiple web sites and videos discussing sewing machine timing.
skipped stitches
1. the needle is incorrectly inserted into the needle holder
2. the needle bent or blunt
3. Machine is not threaded properly, rethread using every thread guide
4. Wrong needle for the fabric being sewed
HINT: install a brand new needle. Remove the top thread from the machine. ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and then rethread the top thread. The upper tension should start out set at the midway point. Use only fresh, good quality thread--AVOID old or bargain bin threads.
If the machine is threaded correctly top and bottom, but is still not catching the bobbin thread, then it's possible the machine is out of time. Search for sewing machine timing or take it for service.
Since it is an older mechanical machine, it is recommended to clean and oil the machine frequently. Oil Before using it if it has been in storage. If the machine is sticky, motor drags, etc., here's a good reference for getting it back in shape:
SKIPPED STITCHES 1.the needle is not inserted correctly 2.the needle is damaged 3.the wrong size needle is being used 4.the foot is not attached correctly it's also possible that the machine needs to be serviced
Hi, Make sure you have threaded the bobbin thread correctly. Also your top thread must be correctly threaded in order to pick up the bobbin thread. Please let me know if I can help any further.
Rethread top of machine from scratch with the presser foot raised, i.e. remove thread completely from all thread guides & paths and start from scratch, making sure thread is securely seated between tension disks. Once the needle is re-threaded, lower the presser foot and give the tail end of the thread a tug to make sure there's tension on it.
Make sure the bobbin is turning the correct direction for your machine - and that the thread tail is under the tension plate or bobbin tension guide (depending on machine).
Blow out any fuzz.
Insert a new needle, making sure needle is pushed all the way up.
Oil machine (in locations recommended in your owner's manual).
If the basic cleaning and re-threading (above) don't help, your machine(s) may be out of time or have another mechanical issue that will require a repair technician. We recommend a tech trained on your specific brands - they'll be better trained and able to get any repair parts that may be needed.
Hope this helps narrow down your stitching problems.
