I'm at work now, and I CAN'T WAIT to get home to see if this is what effed me up yesterday. I was so infuriated it took all my control to contain myself.
Omgosh.. what an idiot I was!!! I immediately went to my sewing machine and … yes… the bobbin winder was engaged. I looked at everything but that!! I am a newish sewing and just decided I want to try making a 9 block vanishing block and thanks to you video I can try it!! Thanks for posting what may seem simple to others, but still needs to be stated for newbies like me!
thanku for this comment. i wasn't able to use my machine because i thought it was stocked up. came to this video and reading comment while watching. went over my machine and it was indeed engaged🤦🏽♀️
omg!!! I bought a new machine because mine wouldn’t move… started watching your video - it WAS my bobbin winder engaged!!! thank- you!! bringing my new machine back! thank you thank you!!!
Thank you. After fiddling around for an hour watching RUclips videos I was at a loss as to why the wheel wouldn’t turn. My husband had filled a bobbin prior to this. I would have never thought that it hadn’t released, but that’s exactly what happened.
I literally took my sewing machine apart.... I spent hours and I am a new sewer so i nearly gave up on the whole plot! You saved my new hobby and I thank you immensely!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am like everyone else!! I was FLIPPING OUT because I have alterations due tomorrow and I couldn't understand why my machine wasn't working. It was the bobbin winder. thank you thank you thank you
Oh thank you so much for showing me the bobbin winder switch!! I couldn’t figure out why the wheel would not turn counter clockwise very far so I was thinking something jammed it. I am back in business after months of not using my machine. God bless you!!
Very grateful for this video! I too took the back off my machine and was baffled. I had not used my machine for a long time and tried to sew. The machine sewed for a little bit then got stuck.....every time 🤣 Great lesson for solving a problem: Assess the function of everything that you can see, even if it appears to be irrelevant. Then delve deeper.
OMG! I have my machine taken half apart, getting back into a bit of sewing for a costume and thought I had a broken belt or something serious, nothing moved, motor ran but acted like it was in neutral, revving a car engine and going nowhere. Could not figure out how to engage the drive head, nothing worked and THEN this video, solved it in fifteen seconds! Let me say, I owe you big time for this! If you are ever in America I'll buy you a drink! Cheers and thank you again! Bobbin winder... it was the bobbin winder! Blonde I am for sure! 🤣
Thank you thank you! The dang bobbin winder! I took the hand wheel cover off and saw the problem where it was being blocked from turning but did not know it had to do with the bobbin winder being engaged. I wish Juki made a note of that in the Troubleshooting section of the operator’s manual. Glad I stumbled across this video or I would have hauled the machine in to a repair shop.
The Bobbin winder!!!!! I didn't even THINK of that! lol It's always the simple things you overlook. Yeah, I had it apart and oil and everything. On the brightside, I needed to do maintenance anyway. LOL Thank you! Thank you!
Omll tysmm... Got a second hand machine and thought that I would have to go and take it to the repair shop but lo and behold the bobbin winder was engaged
So, if the bobbin winder spins very slowly, or not at all…is it typically the rubber tire needing replacement? I finally got it to stitch, but I cannot make a bobbin anymore. Tried to remove cover but no luck accessing rubber; hoping there’s a # on it. I cannot find my model online either, for the rubber tire size; Euro-Pro X 7130. Is there a compatible make/model?- they never name mine on Amazon or sewing parts sites. Frustrated.
Hi I have a singer Simple machine and when I engage the bobbin winder. The hand wheel is not turning WHICHI IS CORRECT But the clutch is no properly working and the belt also jammed. So matching is not able to thread the bobbing winder and it is jammed basically. any solution, please tell me
What even when bobbin winder is in not winding position? Wheel still feels tight when you turn it. What is the issue in this case? Wheel should be freely turning right.
@@anniecurtis8147 After going through lot of other (Indian Hindi) RUclips videos , I found the issue with my sewing machine. It was thread broken in the shuttle. Mine is basic Singer Start model where removing shuttle and cleaning was easy. It was on two clips. When I removed the shuttle to clean I found lot of thread broken and stuck there. Also all the cotton like stuff. I cleaned all and found my wheel was free. Finally I oiled it and it's good to sew again.
I got excited and rushed to my jammed machine hoping it was the bobbin winder. Sadly not. So guess I am going to make a trip to the service place tomorrow. The hand wheel is not turning using food peddle and when I manually turn it, it does but with resistance. I also oiled the belt. Not much difference.
When i push the button on my 6800c singer to bring the needle down to start sewing the needle will not move up or down. But If i move the knob it will move the needle up and down. How do I fix this.
Can you please help..my machine needle was bent due to stitching a thick jeans fold and the needle is now touching the bottom and not catching the thread. (Janome 808 A)
My seeing machine doesn’t start, I’ve been trying winding the bobbing but it doesn’t work neither. It just makes a sound and that’s it. How can I fix it?? 😭😭
My machine is completely fine However the needle isn't turning when I step on the pedal, it will work when I Turn the handwheel My bobbin winder is the first thing I checked Nothing is engaged with the bobbin or bobbin winder I don't understand the issue can you help me?
I have what seems to be the opposite problem... the winder is jamming before it has done one revolution... maybe the clutch is the issue?... when I disengage the winder and turn the machine using the wheel it feels heavier than normal as well. I had just finishe a massive woollen project...
I have a singer fashion mate 3337 every time (or almost every time) I do reverse stitch at the beginning of my sewing the machine jams. However the fabric seems to jam in the speed dogs. Help please. This is a brand new machine
Haven’t used my machine for about 10 years and went to use today but it’s all jammed up. The hand wheel doesn’t move a single mm. I’ve pulled it apart but think maybe it needs some oil
I don’t have this problem…bobbin winder is disengaged. The wheel gets blocked as is the needle so I cut the thread from the top and find broken thread inside or wound around the axis for the bobbin (I don’t know what it’s called - the metal stick that holds the bobbin).
@@rachaelparker3064 Firstly, have patience, these machines don’t operate the same everyday. I know it sounds silly but that has been my experience. So, I saw in another video to check your tension (we tend to put it on the smallest, so put it on 3-4). Then, with my machine I noticed that certain stitches work for a certain length then they mess up. I don’t have an expensive machine and I also inherited it from my sister who bought it at a garage sale. Try to enjoy making your project, regardless of any problems it may give you…when it starts getting you mad, change your thread and try the same stitch on a “fat quarter” and try using different threads so you can see where the problem is (this is the most helpful by far).
Hello , my singer sewing machine heavy duty I just purchased it brand new but when I attempt to start sewing it’s almost like the needle won’t move ?? I made sure the bobbin lock isn’t engaged so it’s not that and everything it threaded correctly and the power works it’s just when I am ready to sew it almost sounds like something is blocking the machine from moving ??
Anyone was able to find the solution to why it could be jammed when the bobbin was disengaged? Am still trying to find a solution here for my janome embroidery machine 😭
I have singer sewing machine fashion mate 5560 suddenly it has stopped needle bar is not moving as well as wheel is not moving and needle stake in bobbin tried to removed needle still not moving needle bar please explain what to do statching is my hobby I am 82 years old please help me.
Hi. It must be a problem somewhere else in the machine. Try removing your bobbin case and looking for thread tangled in that area. Could be any number of issues causing it. If the machine hasn't been serviced recently it may need oil and clean. Thanks.
Oh my God. Spent 2 hours taking and putting my machine back, close to tears. Found the solution literally 31 seconds into this video. Thank you 😭
Same here...! Hahaha xD
Me too. I was close to crying too
Me three!! Thank you so much
I feel so much better about myself knowing I’m not the only one. But honestly it has to have been twenty years or better since I sewed anything
I'm at work now, and I CAN'T WAIT to get home to see if this is what effed me up yesterday. I was so infuriated it took all my control to contain myself.
Was in tears at the thought of losing this machine. The bobbin winder was engaged! Thank you so much!

I'm pleased it helped. Enjoy your sewing!
Same! I disassembled my whole machine for no reason
Found the solution with the help of your video, may Allah bless you
I spent an hour trying to fix my machine- I just had the bobbin winder on 😂 you my man are an earth angel😂
Bought a very good machine at a very cheap price.
The owner said it's dead.
I moved the winder after reaching home and it worked 👍
First off, thanks for getting to the point without showing off your dog or some crap intro. Secondly, you saved us agony. Subbed!
Amazing! Laughing to find this after a bit of time spent stuck!
Didn't use my machine for five years because I thought it was broken :D. Thank you so much
You’re a lifesaver! Thank you!
LOL Ohhhhh good grief!!! Thank you so much for the first 30 seconds of this video. It didn’t even cross my mind that the machine wasn’t set properly 🤪
Very grateful for this video! I too took the back off my machine and was baffled.
I had not used my machine for a long time and tried to sew. The machine sewed for a little bit then got stuck.....every time 🤣

I was just in the middle of sewing a bag and my needle and my bobbin got messed up! This is so helpful! Thx!
Thank you!! What a relief and what an easy fix!
I was about to spend $$ getting it repaired, after watching your video, I was able to just move it in 1 second and problem fixed! Thank you!

Good point. I have people bring machines to me to be un-jammed and this is often the cause. Thanks.

My bobbin winder is disengaged on my singer 1409. But the sewing parts do not function, plus the motor hums, when I engage the foot pedal.
I disengage my bobbin winder and still my hand wheel is not turning or moving freely, any other advice please

how do i remove the wheel on my sewing machine
Anyone was able to find the solution to why it could be jammed when the bobbin was disengaged? Am still trying to find a solution here for my janome embroidery machine 😭
saved my life.❤️
My machine screws are so tight how 3:17 to loosen them
Thanks a lot for this video.. 🌹👍🌷
Oh thank you you save my time 🥰🥰
Thank you!
Thank you that was my exact problem
Ok so what to do if your bobbin winder is not engaged but machine still jammed?
There are many causes for a jamming machine. This video shows one of the causes as explained. Thanks.
Very helpful!
It's NOT the bobbin winder. The needle sews but stays in the same place. What can I do?
Just a thought…make sure fabric is being grabbed by the feeder below plate. It sounds like you have no grip on fabric?
THANK YOU.
Have singer 1411. Bobbin case is up where it cannot rotate. Machine is locked.
Same, did u find a solution?
Mine was totally seized, I had to lube EVERYTHING. AEG 791 from like 2006
OH! Thank you! OMG! This was such a relief!
Mine is still doesn't work even after follow your instructions😭 its so frustrating! Hikssss

Expecting reply.
I am looking for a little more advanced fix for a jammed flywheel other than this easy fix.
Hope you have found solution to the Jammed wheel? I am experiencing jammed wheel issue now. Please, kindly share your knowledge.
Thanks in advance
Unfortunately this did not solve my problem. The bobbin was not engaged and the wheel still won’t turn. 😢
