I cant get my bobbin off the post you use for refilling. It was ok yesterday. please any advice. thanks

You may have overfilled the Bobbin.....A little force will be required to remove it......I recommend using metal Bobbins......Do not fill the Bobbin outside of the Bobbin Rim...........

There is a gear lock on the inside of the flywheel, while some machines have a automatic switch that works when the bobbin winder post is moved to the off position.

Hello Lacinda have a good day to you concern loose or missed stitches please check next: 1-try to change bobbin case with new one. 2-check timing between needle and hook by -make needle bar at lowest position and you can see two mark line at needle bar. -bring the needle bar at second line from down side then check the flat part from needle comes with tip of hook ( if yes means timing is OK , if not means you need to adjust the hook timing . 3-check the ginger guide for hook try to move it foreword or backward to pass thread smoothly. if this is helpful OK if not please send email, i try to do the best to help. best regards ASHRAF ABOZID CAIRO - EGYPT [email protected]

I've lost the manual to the Singer Tiny Tailor mending machine M100A and need to know how to refill the bobbins. Can you help me?

They make so many needles now that it is hard to keep up. That does seam to be the problem though. Try a longer needle before you try to warranty the problem. I believe this will take care of the problem. Hope this helps. Please re-post with updates. Thanks.

Release the hand wheel and wind the bobbin as full as you like or until it stops. Remove the bobbin,place it in the bobbin case and insert the bobbincase into the hook.

Beginning with the spool, guide the thread through the thread guides to the tension assembly. Pull the thread through the tension assembly and test it to make sure the tension is working correctly.
(To do this test, adjust your tension setting to normal or medium or 5 or something in the middle. Raise the presser foot and pull the thread through the tension. It should pull easily!! Lower the presser foot and pull the thread. It should pull noticeably harder.) If it passes this test, continue up through the take up lever,then down through the thread guides to the needle. Make sure your needle is fully inserted and turned the correct way.( If you load your bobbin case from the left side,the needle rule is normally FLAT to the RIGHT is RIGHT. There are some exceptions. If you have a newer style drop in bobbin or your bobbin case loads in the front then the rule is FLAT to the BACK.
