    Modern timing checks, could you guys contact 2 or 3 shops in each state that will work with enrolled students for them to come in and do a timing repair in person. Yes still cost of travel but unless you live in Texas even center of the state is less than 4 hours of travel so still able to be done in a day

    I have had my machine for less than a month and already gone through three bobbin cases. It’s a heavy duty singer and it’s new. I am not sure why this occurring and was wondering if you have any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong. Another thought I had was is it possible to get an all metal bobbin case for this model to prevent breakage?

    I just bought a practically new 600 E. The tension mechanism was a little gummed up from its lubricant sitting for years. I watched the video on fixing tensioners on the MD2992 channel, after which I was able to disassemble and clean the tensioner. Adjusting the tension as I reassembled it was a lottle finicky, but not bad. I also cleaned and lubricated the machine. It sees like a champ! That bracket holding the "reel" doesn't work like that on my machine. It hinges up and catches. Maybe that piece is the problem, not the reel.

    I’ve had it with mine. I’m giving it away. I should have never bought a singer sewing machine. I’m going back to my 1908-1920(? )White Rotary. It doesn’t give me these issues, I can actually sew something right quick and not have it turn into a several hours long fiasco! Or in this case, I am on day 3 of the ford/dodge equivalent of sewing machines just trying to sew a 2 inch space on a t-shirt my dog accidentally snagged. Screw this singer machine, I’ll use the white machine. All I can say is F this singer machine, F these problems. Anyone want this stupid machine hit me up, you can have it! It’s a waste of the money I spent on it. I shoulda spent it on buying new pieces for the White Rotary. I’d also like to thank singer for the piece of needle I had to pluck from my cheek bone when the needle snapped, popped the housing cover off of where the bobbin puzzle is and send the needle tip right into my face. Pretty sad when I need to where safety goggles to operate a sewing machine that is far newer than the dinosaur sitting in my sewing room.

    My bobbin case spins, and then the needle hits it and breaks. How can I make the bobbin case stay put where it belongs? Nothing looks wrong with it, but even though it's snapped in, feels snug, threads correctly, as soon as I try to sew the bobbin case moves out of place and I have to start over. Help!

    New to sewing. Haven't had any problems until I broke a needle sewing too thick fabric. ( I didn't know about needle matching to fabric). Now replaced needle but cannot get bobbin thread up as usual. Have done checks on threading to and bottom, checked bobbin casing, reread manual. No joy. Frustrated as sewing shops/repairs no longer available near me. Any advis?e

    Janome is BANKING on these $50 bobbin cases 🤬

    • @SewingDocAcademy
      @SewingDocAcademy Месяц назад

      Not really, and it's not just Janome, it's all brands. This burrs and issues you find on these bobbin cases are mainly because of user error, either pushing or pulling the fabric through instead of letting it self-feed, or by using a home domestic machine like it's an industrial or commercial. They started using plastic bobbin cases because if they were metal, far more damage would be done when the needle hits the edge of a bobbin case, it would bend or destroy the needle bar and potentially other damage. Those that keep their machine serviced and don't "help" fabric through often never need a new bobbin case.

      @SewingDocAcademy I sew about 12 minky blankets a day, and top stitch, and I usually don't have an issue but now all of a sudden I'm getting a e4 error and they say just push the bobbin winder to the right and back 3xs or so then restart the machine. I love my janome but it's starting to get whacky this is the 4th year using it nonstop.

    • @SewingDocAcademy
      @SewingDocAcademy Месяц назад

      @@hellosweetheart3350 Holy cow, please tell me you have your machine serviced at LEAST once a year? If you are sewing with minky, that's a lot of stress on your machine, and you can only stress your machine so much before it pushes back on you. Minky is a high-shed material, but also using a thicker material like minky, your machine needs to be regularly cleaned and lubricated. For my customers that do heavy sewing of any kind, but especially high-shed fabrics, I recommend quarterly service. This is one reason we teach people how to service their machines themselves: www.sewingdocacademy.com/ryc-special

    My Singer HD 6800 just started wrapping the top thread around the feed dogs from underneath near the bobbin. Tension was good, sewing along with a decorative top stitch, and it just stopped. Cleared, cleaned, rethreaded, and again. Your thoughts? Bobbin case looks great.

    Hello, I’m having major issues with nesting. My top thread bunches up pretty badly within the bobbin case which is creating those ugly nesting balls. I’ve tried changing the tension knob to almost every single number. I even took out the bobbin case to examine it & I don’t have any needle holes nor have any damage to the case whatsoever. I’ve turned the tension on the case both ways to loosen & tighten to see if either works, and of course nothing worked…it still creates nesting! I’m literally losing my mind over here because I’ve been trying to get this machine to work for over a year now & no matter what I try nothing has worked.

Needle sits very close to left side of hole in needle plate. It also rubs a bit on the left side of original presser foot. Help!! Any ideas what else could cause this misalignment. I’ve tried four different brands of needles with same result. I have a 1949 featherweight 221

    I have been fiddling with my 603e i just got all day. It will wind a bobbin just fine, but wont sew. When trying to sew the top thread just wraps around the bobbin. I followed this video, rethreaded, cleaned, oiled, checked everything. Upon closer inspection of the manual for sewing after inserting a bobbin, i think the issue is that the the machine isnt bringing the bobbin thread up. When i try to get the bobbin thread to come up through the throat plate to create the loop so i can grab the threads, it doesn't come up, and if i keep turning the wheel, thats when the top thread starts winding around the bobbin. How do i fix this?
