Necci 4795 won't pick up Bobbin Thread

I have a Necci 4795 and am using it to repair a canvas/sunbrella awning. I’m a novice at sewing, but very good mechanically.

When sewing I got into a seam and the foot moved up unexpectantly, momentarily compressing the tension adjustment spring. Now the needle refuses to pick up the bobbin thread. I have checked threading, bobbin, cleaned, and then lightly lubed the sewing hook.

Then reviewing some timing diagrams I found on line it appears the machines timing has changed because the needle eye is higher than the point of the point of the sewing hook Vs the top of the eye being just under the point of the hook, as it should be. By eye it appears the lower end of the needle eye is approximately one full needle eye length above the point of the sewing hook.

So do I adjust the Needle Bar or change the Sewing Hook timing.

I am trying to replace monofilm panels in a windsurfing sail, using a Singer 457 zig zag sewing machine. I cannot create a good zig zag seam when the monofilm is sandwiched between two canvas layers.

Joe, you might try a larger needle than you're using. You might also want to try a larger leather needle. You machine should take needles up to a size 18.

It sounds like the needle you're using is having a problem picking up the bobbin thread, and that might solve it.

Can I sew canvas with a thicker thread and do I need to replace the needle with a needle with a larger eye? Nathan's, trudy

It probably depends on what machine you are using. What is the make and model?

Have you tried anything yet? Does the machine struggle to make it through the canvas at all or does it jam when you use thicker thread?

I am trying to sew a boat canvas top with sunbrella canvas. my top stitch is beautiful but the bottom stitch is loose and messy. Is this just a tension adjustment and if so what should I be adjusting?

Try adjusting the top tension dial to tighten up the loose stitching on the underside. Generally if you have loose threads underneath, its the top tension and visa versa.

However, if you are using a thread heavier than normal sewing thread through the needle and bobbin (which you probably need for this canvas) then the machine may struggle. I've sewed vinyl seat covers and gave up with my domestic machine and purchased a second hand industrial Singer machine 20U to cope with this heavier weight textile. Generally for anything heavier than upholstery fabric a domestic machine may not be strong enough.

NECCHI, model 4795. Thread bunches up at bobbin.

it sounds like the thred tenshion is to loos or the timing has sliped a little and its off a bit this can also happen with wear on the gears or just a loos fixing letting the timing slip back a bit,

Cannot get tension balance correct

Try this. reomove thread and bobbin from machine.. Set thread tension to the middle number. Rethread machine carefully making sure the thread is thru the tension wheel. Replace bobbin making sure that thread is thru it's tensioner.
Rule of thumb. Loops on the bottom, problem is on the top. Loops on the top, problem is with the bobbin.

Thread jamming, wont feed material, sewing in one place

Try moving the stitch length dial to 4 or 5 - check the manual. You may have it in the position for very close together sewing. I had to do a lot of trying with my 4795 to get it to work right. I found that very thin thread, polyester kind, broke at the needle after a couple of stitches. I switched to coats & clarks thread and a Singer ball point needle and it works fine. Be sure your needle is inserted with the flat top toward the back of the machine. Good luck!
