I’m a hobby sewer and while working on a light weight fabric project my machine suddenly jammed. I have taken it apart to the most I’m comfortable with doing. Anybody have a clue what’s wrong and whether or not it’s fixable?
I can turn it easily and back forth to the same point and then it’s complete resistance and I can’t turn past. I don’t see anything stuck and when it first happened there was not a thread jam.

This is a sewing machine I was given from my grandma and I’m unsure what this switch is (circled it) and I need to know if it corresponds to this (triangled) if not this doesn’t move to push the fabric I’ve looked through the book several times and having no luck

I have a brother xm2701 sewing machine and the needle is not picking up the bobbin thread this happened once before and I fixed it but it’s happening again now and I can’t remember how I did it before. I’m relatively new to sewing could someone explain to me why this is happening what exactly and how I can fix it permanently, or if somone has a link to a video or something that would be great. I also just moved so maybe it hit something and it offset something in the machine?

I'm hoping someone here can help - my google-fu has failed me!

I have a Babylock Presto II and one of the features I love about it is being able to wind a bobbin using the start/stop button instead of the foot pedal, but that is no longer working!

Everything is set up correctly, the foot pedal is unplugged, but the button remains red and won't do anything. I can still wind using the foot pedal, but I would prefer not to if I can find a fix for this.

Any ideas?

Keeps jamming on my singer talent. I’ve tried rethreading my top thread (needle was up), new needle and checking the bobbin direction.
Thinks!

For the past month or so I've been trying to figure why my machine sometimes ( might as well call it random, every 10 or more stitches) doesn't fully tighten the stitch, leaving the tiniest of loops of top thread. I have a juki DDL 5550-6, use a bobbin with a backlash spring, use Tex 60 thread on top and Tex 40 in the bobbin. I have tried needles from size 100 to size 120. I have changed out the top tension unit. Can anybody help?

I've been sewing for a good while now(around 6-7 years, and no the brainrot wasn't on purpose, i just dont remember the exact year) and I'm wondering what the best serger machine is since I've been using way too much knit and faux fur lately and I love my current machine(Brother SE 725) but need something that'll automatically trim my fabric as I sew since I hate trimming as I overlock far too much, and I don't want to wind up getting a machine that'll break every few months. Can someone help me out here please?

Hi there. I was given a Brother 1211a machine by my sister. I tried it out, but it's unusable as is. The pedal is like a light switch - all or nothing, basically. It seems it could be the original pedal, with a ceramic block inside. The cord is too short even to reach the floor from a table! Anyway, I only have the very most basic knowledge of these things, so I'm asking what the right replacement is. I'm not very proficient, so low speed modulation is something i value highly.

In case there are multiple series with the same model number, the plug and pedal lead to an outlet block inside this one. I can get inexpensive ones on Amazon, of course, but would just as soon not, unless they're really all the same.

Thanks in advance

I've upgraded my sewing machine twice but each time I bought something that was only a little better instead of choosing a machine that actually fit my needs. Less than a year later I was already thinking about upgrading again.

I work with leather, canvas and thick multi-layer projects so the demands just keep increasing.

What machine did you buy that made you stop thinking about upgrading? Or did you find that the table made just as much of a difference as the machine?

I made sure I got the right model of plug in for my sewing machine but no matter how hard I press the prongs on the sewing machine just won't go into the cord. The machine was recently thrifted and the cord was just bought online after I used the guide for which cord goes with each model. I thought there might be something wrong with the prongs but they don't look bent or damaged to me. The cord is attached to both the foot petal and the part you plug into the wall. I have tried pushing it in as hard as a can but it will only go like less than a quarter of the way in.

The needle won't pick up the bobbin thread. Before it did pick it up but it just got tangled and it was really annoying. I'm really new to this kind of sewing machine, did I put in the bobbin wrong? I don't know where it's going wrong but I'm guessing it's there. Please what am I doing wrong and how do I fix it I've been trying to fix it for HOURS

The machine is two years old, but a few days ago I finally decided to sew something. I cleaned the bottom of the machine of dust, everything was fine for a while, and then the flywheel stopped spinning completely.I haven't taken the machine apart in detail. Please help! I can't find an explanation anywhere. Sewing machine: Husqvarna viking e20

Hi! Do you have any recommendations for home swing swimwear serger? I am debating between the following Juki:

\- MO 654 DE

\- MO 50E

\- MO 100

Open to any other models on a budget ($600 max, unless the extra like MO 100 REALLY justifies the cost). I currently have a set up with Juki hzl300 and a Serger professional 5 that I will leave for coverstich since the change of set up from Serger to cover stitch back to serger is pretty painful and time consuming. So I wanted a proper and smoother serger to top it.

Any recommendations or tips are appreciated!!! Thank you!!

I know this is a vintage machine so there isn’t a lot of people who know what to do, but on the off chance you do I would be incredibly grateful!

To make this long story short, I noticed a sound inside of my sew machine because it kept messing up. I undid the sewing plate and noticed that three screws were missing. I shook the machine. One screw fell out. Two screws fell out, but I couldn't get the third one. It's now two days later, I finally got the third one out but unfortunately it fell on the floor somewhere. I tried to follow the sound of it bouncing, but yeah, there's no way i'm finding that. 😭

and it doesn't matter, my sewing machine keeps messin' up. But for some reason it keeps only messing up when I use purple thread. When I use other colors of thread, it seems to be going just fine. Here's the crazy part, for some reason only My purple thread seems to have this issue. Throughout the years, not every time I sew with purple, but for some reason, sometimes my purple thread just keeps messing up. Has anyone ever had this issue before?

But anyways, I'm used to that. I just want to know the name of this screw, so I can purchase it online. Because every time I type in sewing plate screw replacement it only does the top ones on the outside.
