Bobbin Holder

Bobbin Holder

Sewing problem. Please help i'm having problems with bobbin?

Excuse my lack of proper terminology as i'm not that familiar with sewing but when i try to load my bobbin thread the needle won't pick it up (to pull it out to the proper place if that makes sense). I'm not sure what i should do to try and fix it so tha'ts my question....what can i try next?

Can't fetch up a bobbin thread is typically a problem with a bent or damaged needle, or one that's in backwards. Replace the current needle with a new one of the right type and size, and make sure the needle is oriented correctly.

If you've got a bobbin case in the machine (it sounds like you do), the flat back of the needle goes away from the bobbin case, in most machines.

Here's Singer's basic information:

And here's a set a photos I did with a toploading bobbin (one that doesn't have a bobbin case you pull out) -- ignore the first few photos and drop down to the one where I've got the bobbin in and the needle threaded, http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/22801244

Before you start, though, you will want to pull the bobbin case and needleplate and get in there with a brush and vacuum and get out all the stray threads and lint that may be keeping things from working well.

The one thing that concerns me is that you may have knocked the machine out of time with your thick fabric -- typically, there are loud noises and broken needles and thread jams and bad words when you do this, but it can (rarely!) happen silently. But it's a far more likely explanation that you've got a damaged needle or needle in backwards issue, so let's work on that first.

Now you do want to find the model number for that machine and get hold of a manual for it. There may be one here (maybe even for free!): http://www.singerco.com/accessories/manuals.html and it's also worth trying sites like http://www.singermachines.co.uk/Parts_&_Ser/Inst book.htm

Sew USA has a lot of threading diagrams up for free, and their prices for replacement manuals are fair:
