Sounds like your feeddog isn't working, check your operation manual to see where the feeddog is at & if it's in the right position
Testimonial: "Bluevelvet answered my questions and gave me very thorough instructions. Bluevelvet also responded very quickly. Thank you, for being so helpful!!"
I don't have the manual for this machine. I was unsuccessful in finding it online.
try removing the extension table orther wise known as a free arm,,
then turn the machine around to where the back faces you,,
on the back near the bottom is a little switch,,push it one way or the other cause one way will drop the feeddog & allow you to darn & the other way will allow you to sew normal,, once the feeddog has been dropped & the switch has been moved to the other positon,,you will have to turn the handwheel towards you before it will raise back up...let me know what happens
turn the machine back around so the front of the machine faces you & when you turn the handwheel toward you
Thank you for responding. I did exactly what you said. It stitched smoothly and beautifully on the front, but the back is still bunching a little, not as bad as before though. How can I correct that?
HI, try this
check to see if the needle is bent, roll it on a flat surface & see if it roll correcty
if the needle make a popping sound when it goes into the fabric it's blunt
check the bobbin & see if it's warped
check to see if there is lint or loose threads in the bobbin area
let me know if it corrects the problem
THANK YOU!! That worked, I sprayed it with a can of air, changed the needle, and bobbin, and it is working fine. Again Thank you. Do you know a little about Brother machines? My Brother won't pick up a stitch.
yes, I use to have a brother sewing machine & I've worked on them also. could you explain more about the problem?
When I try to sew, the machine will not stitch. The needle is just going up and down, but not connecting to the fabric. (I hope I am explaining it well). It first started when my timing got off. I got it fixed, but now this is happening.
check to see if the needle is inserted properly in the needle holder
the flat side of the needle must face the shaft
the groove in the needle faces away from the shaft
(this applys to needles that are round with no flat sides)
check to see if the needle is not bent or blunt
try rethreading the machine
could have wrong needle for the machine
size of needle & thread are not compatible
check the top tension
check to make sure the thread is not caught on the spool pin
or on the notch that is on the thread spool or anywhere else
let me know if this solves the problem
Now my needle keeps hitting where the feed dog is and bending. Do you think the timing is still off?
my suggestions are
check to make sure you have the right needle for the sewing machine
make sure it in correctly & pushed all the way up in the needle clamp holder
do you have a needle position on your sewing machine (like left-center-right) if so check what position it's on
and then if it still hit the feeddog then I would suggest it to be checked
let me know if this helps
here is something else you might try
check the bobbin to see if it's warped
make sure there is no thread or lint in the bobbin area
HOW TO CHECK THE NEEDLE BAR
take the upper thread out of the needle & make sure there's a new needle in it
then by hand turn the handwheel counterclock wise toward you & let the needle go all the way down & up
if it hit anything the needlebar height needs to be adjusted
if you have to take it in for the needlebar adjusting ask them to check the timming again
