Singer Futura XL-580 thread tangles on underside.Machine makes a loud "clicking" sound.Was doing free motion quilting and got a jam. Changed needle,changed bobbin,and rethreaded both top and bobbin.

Sounds like there might be some thread stuck in the bobbin shuttle area. Refer to the users manual for your machine to see how to disassemble the bobbin shuttle and race to check for thread. It would be a good idea to put a drop or two of sewing machine oil on it while you have it apart.

I have a Singer model 600e. the bobbin case will not come out for some reason. How do I remove the bobbin case to realign the case?

If your Singer model 600e's bobbin case is stuck, try the following steps to remove it:
  1. Turn off the sewing machine and unplug it from the power source.
  2. Raise the presser foot and the needle to the highest position.
  3. Open the bobbin cover and remove the bobbin from the bobbin case.
  4. Locate the lever or button that releases the bobbin case from the hook race. Depending on the model of your Singer sewing machine, this may be a lever, a button, or a latch.
  5. Use your finger or a small screwdriver to press or move the lever, button, or latch to release the bobbin case from the hook race.
  6. Gently pull the bobbin case out of the machine.
If the bobbin case is still stuck, do not force it. Instead, seek assistance from a trained sewing machine technician or contact Singer customer support for further advice.

Just got a singer futura seqa 6000 I need to know if I can connect it to a chromebook

Do you mean a Singer Futura Quartet SEQS-6000? If so, the sewing machine can't communicate with the Chrome OS. The drivers and software on the CD are only compatible with Windows. The initial software package was compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. See the specifications section at https://www.singer.com/Futura-SEQS-6000-Embroidery-Machine and https://www.futura-support.com/products/seqs-6000 . There is a software update available for Windows 10. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

I have a singer heavy duty 4423 I am sewing a curtain out of a sheet every time I try to reverse sew my machine jams up but straight sewing seems to be ok

If your Singer Heavy Duty 4423 is jamming when you try to sew in reverse, it may be due to a few issues:
  1. Thread tension: Make sure your thread tension is not too tight, which can cause the thread to bunch up and jam the machine. Try loosening the tension slightly.
  2. Needle: Make sure you are using the correct needle for the fabric you are sewing. A dull or damaged needle can cause the machine to jam.
  3. Bobbin: Check your bobbin to make sure it is threaded correctly and is not damaged.
  4. Machine maintenance: It's important to keep your machine clean and well-oiled. A buildup of lint or dirt can cause the machine to jam.
  5. Sewing speed: Slow down when sewing in reverse. Sometimes going too fast in reverse can cause the machine to jam.
If none of these solutions work, it may be a mechanical issue with the machine and it's best to take it to a professional for repair

My Singer QuikFix stopped stitching.

If the pink part that catches the needle's thread (the shuttle hook) has stopped turning, it may be due to several reasons. Here are a few things you can try:
  1. Check the bobbin case: Make sure that the bobbin case is correctly installed in the shuttle race and that it is not damaged or dirty. If the bobbin case is not correctly installed, it can prevent the shuttle hook from turning.
  2. Check the needle: Ensure that the needle is properly installed and not damaged or bent. If the needle is damaged or bent, it may not be picking up the thread properly.
  3. Clean the machine: If the machine is dirty or has lint buildup, it can affect the movement of the shuttle hook. Clean the machine and oil it according to the instructions in the manual.
  4. Check the shuttle hook: If the shuttle hook is damaged, it may need to be replaced. Check for any signs of damage, such as chips or cracks.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to take the machine to a professional for repair.

I can't move the stitch width wheel on my Singer 534. Any ideas or does it need service

If you can't move the stitch width wheel on your Singer 534, there are a few things you can check:
  1. Make sure the machine is threaded correctly: Sometimes, if the machine is not threaded correctly, the wheel can become jammed. Double-check that the machine is threaded correctly and that the thread is not caught on anything.
  2. Check for thread or debris around the wheel: Sometimes, thread or other debris can get caught around the stitch width wheel, preventing it from turning. Check the area around the wheel and remove any obstructions.
  3. Apply some lubricant: If the wheel is still difficult to turn, try applying some sewing machine oil or lubricant to the area around the wheel. This can help loosen up any stuck parts.
If none of these solutions work, it may be time to take your machine in for service. A professional technician can diagnose and repair any issues with the machine.

Singer 603E Sewing Machine. Why is it making a rat's nest when I try to sew.

Your sewing machine tension is incorrect. Tension is a delicate tug of war between the upper thread and the bobbin tension to place the knot loop in the centre of the two pieces of cloth. Sewing machine tension is how tight the threads are pulled as you sew. The tighter your thread (or the higher your tension), the tighter your stitches. With proper tension, your sewing machine needle moves up and down, the bobbin thread is pulled up, and you get nice, neat, even stitches.

TC Joint 7 Card for Tajima Embroidery Machines Tajima joint card 83 Color change motor noisy and not moving

If the color change motor on your Tajima embroidery machine is making noise but not moving, it could be due to a few different issues. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the connections: Make sure all the cables and connectors that attach to the color change motor are securely connected and not damaged.
  2. Check for obstructions: Look for any obstructions that may be preventing the motor from moving freely. This could include thread or debris that has become tangled in the mechanism.
  3. Lubricate the motor: If the motor is making noise, it could be due to lack of lubrication. Try adding a few drops of oil to the motor shaft to see if it helps.
  4. Replace the motor: If none of the above steps work, it may be time to replace the color change motor. You can order a replacement part from Tajima or a Tajima dealer.
Note: If you're not comfortable with troubleshooting and repairing your embroidery machine, it's best to contact a professional technician for assistance.

Needle will not sew thread into material

Sounds like the timing is off. Take the bobbin out of the bobbin case and lower the needle into the needle plate. As the needle starts on the upswing, the hook should meet the needle just above the needle eye on most machines. If it isn't meeting at that point then your hook timing will need to be adjusted.
