SOURCE: Singer Sewing Machine model 9224. Bobbin thread

If you turn the handwheel, can you see a metal ring rotating around the outer edge of the bobbin case? If not rotating, broken gear or timing belt off.
If that ring is turning, remove the needle plate and bobbin case. As this ring now rotates, you will a finger on the ring that will pass behind the needle from right to left and it should catch the thread from the eye of the needle. If this finger, the "hook" passes above the eye, you have a timing problem.

Let me know.

SOURCE: threading up a bobbin in a singer 560 sewing machine

I'm guessing it's probably the same as mine (8280). This is what the manual says: "Hold the bobbin case with one hand, insert the bobbin so that the thread runs in a clockwise direction. Pull the thread through the **** and under the finger. Hold the bobbin case by the hinged latch and insert into the shuttle." It's hard to describe, but if you've sewn before, it should come back quickly. To be more specific, hold the bobbin case in your left hand, insert the bobbin so the thread is coming up from underneath, pull thread through the **** and into the part where the hole is. If you slide the thread around, it will fit into the slot in there. Pull the latch out and insert it into the shuttle.

Hope this helps.

What size bobbin does a singer 5050 use?

If it's a drop in bobbin machine, it's best to use the class 66 bobbns. The sides are rounded so that when the hook grabs the thread and pulls it around it can slide over the bobbin more easily

I have a singer 5050 how much tension do I need for sewing as the thread keeps breaking when sewing

Top tension about 4 or 5, use a good mercerised thread only, make sure you do not have the bobbin tesnion too tight, slacken the screw anti clockwise on the bobbin case if it is

How do you change the tension on a bobbin for a singer 5050 We don't have an instructional manual?

Unless you are going to hand wind a heavier thread on the bobbin, you do not need to make any adjustment to the bobbin tension.

There is a screw on the side of the bobbin case and this is where you adjust the tension.

You can download a free manual here - http://www.singerco.com/accessories/manuals.html

If your stitching is loopy, it is not the bobbin.

Re-thread the machine with the presser foot up. This will insure proper tension when the top thread and bobbin thread combine to make a stitch.

Singer 5430C bobbins thread always loopy

"Birdnesting" occurs when there is no tension on the needle thread to pull the bobbin thread. This is easily corrected by rethreading the machine, following the threading path carefully and making sure the thread is fully engaged in the tension mechanism.

I have a singer cg 550 sewing machine and I am not sure which slot to put the bobbin thread in first

If you put the bobbin in the case with the thread coming off in a clockwise direction, the thread should just fall into a slot and gently tug on the thread and it will slide through the tensions. Lay it across the bobbin case and then pick up the thread with the needle.
