Is the bobbin placed in the correct way ? Also check needle is in inserted correctly with flat back of the headfirst needle towards the back of the needle housing unit and it’s up to the highest position possible - change to the correct size and type of needle for your project your doing - makes a big difference - check top tension is correct. Usually for most everyday threads used for making seams should be on the number 4 or auto depending on machine type
Well my minor oil problem turned out to be a totally seized machine. I had to oil everthing, took apart the entire thing. I went crazy with the oil but I don't care, it was either that or a new machine. It will stain like crazy for the first spool but better than junking the thing. AEG 791 from like 2006. You don't have to be an "engineer" either.
Please check with your dealer!!!! Oiling a machine is normal maintenance. You should oil parts that are easily accessible. As a sewist since 1987 and a quilter since 1990, I shuddered.
I was going to use WD-40 until a man told me that would collect more lint and dust eventually ruin the machine. Then I was also told 3 in 1 oil wasn't good either because it's too thick. That's why there's oil made just for machines!
WD 40 is a penetrant. It’s meant to un stick stuff, not oil. On mechanical,domestic machines, use sewing machine oil not lubricant or grease. Moving metal parts get oil (regularly) and gears get greased(not often). Leave the gear greasing to the pros. Dust then oil your machine regularly!
Thank you! Watching you go through the actual procedure is so helpful!
Your a excellent teacher, thanks so much!

Thank for the video karen,but i have a question my machine cannot pick the thread in the bobbin
Check the threading of your top thread. Change the needle. The bobbin might be in backwards

I just unscrew every screw I can find, open up the machine and spray WD 40 on everything that looks like a moving part. Works fine to date😊

Never use DW40 oil, you can ruin your machine, you only want "white machine oil"- but check your machine company or dealer 🤗

You don’t want to do that!!
