Is there an adjustment to tighten the new belt? Wrong size belt?

Jennifer Armstrong Mar 31, 2017

belt is correct size, in adjusted the machine to tighten the belt but still have a little play. it sewed for a little and then the hand pulley started tocome off the machine
richie46 Mar 31, 2017

If correct size and still slipping it is possible that the machine need to be oiled to reduce overall friction. You can also build up the diameter of the pulley with some tape, or whatever, to make the belt tighter overall.

You Are Using the Wrong Bobbin If they are too small, they can bounce around in your bobbin case and cause a knocking or clunking noise. If they are too big, they will not spin freely in your bobbin case.

Hello, I have just replaced the belt on a Singer 185J, with a Singer belt, but it is now not engaging the needle assembly. Ideas?

Is the belt too large and slipping? Get proper-sized belt.
Did the center part of the handwheel get loosened? Tighten it.

How to thread the singer 20u33? The tension assembly is new, don't know where the wire is sposed to be...

When you thread the top thread, the thread will drop down on the right side of the tension mechanism and go around the bottom (clockwise) and up the left side. Grab the thread somewhere above the tension mechanism with your right hand and then pull the toward the right (as though you are going to close the circle around the tension disk. The thread should pull on the metal wire (spring) and your thread should pop into the correct position of the tension disk. When you release the thread, the wire spring should pop back to the left. Then you will continue threading through the remaining thread guides and the take-up lever.

Here's a service manual for your machine (in case you need one):

How do I put a new belt on a Singer 99K?

loosen the bolt that holds the motor mount to the machine body and slide the motor up and the belt off. Replace belt with the same length belt and re-tighten motor mount bolt. The belt should not be too tight or it will slip, or generally run poorly.

My moms machine, the belt seems to be slipping. It will sew if you help it by turning the wheel. Will not wind bobbin. How do you adjust belt or replace?

Very possible the belt has stretched so it is slipping. Usually, there is a way of exposing the pulley on the belt. The bolt holding the pulley can be loosened, then pulled to increase tension on the belt, then re-tighten the bolt. You may find more information by searching the information for your make/model machine.

How do you oil the singer xl.1000

please read the instruction menu for oiling area. a small plastic bottle singer oil can be purchased at joanne fabric shop or any department store carries fabric. if you can't find the menu booklet, a drop of oil should be enough on all moving mechanism. don't over do it. best way is move the pulley where the belt is attached. see the movement for all moving mechanism. then one drop oil should be enough. be sure clean out the dust in general are by using vaccum cleaner before lubricating the macjine. do not oil the belt, otherwise will lose friction and slip when sewning. hope this will help. bob

Is a Singer 491 strong enough for leather?

Yes, it should be fine for most leather. I don't know about belt or thicker leathers though.....I would just buy some samples and give it a go. The 491 is a workhorse, good for upholstery and heavy work.

Singer industrial sewing machine

It might be the way you're asking that's confusing the problem. It's simple to remove the hand wheel, slip the belt over the track, and then replace the hand wheel. It really depends on the model of your machine - is it by chance a 328K?
