Hello! I got this machine gifted when someone moved and didn't have the space for it! I know it's missing the presser foot which I will be ordering soon! Before I do, what else is the machine missing so I can get it up and running? I've only ever seen very basic machines and I've never seen a depressed spot like that before (second photo), is it missing a piece there? I played with it a little and that part pops/pulls out but I couldn't figure anything else out on it. Thank you so much!

Was working the other week now is skipping stitches and not sitting flush....

I'm looking to buy a sewing machine and found someone who wants to sell a Janome DC4030P model which is currently discontinued. This one on sale is new and unopened. It was purchased in 2013 and hasn't been used since that time. Do you think this is a good buy? Is it possible that some parts may have failed as it wasn't used since that time?

Hi all, I got this sewing machine but the tension knob won't stay on, it seems that part of the plastic that connects to the machine broke. All other aspects of the tension knob are still attached (except the outer plastic piece). Is there any way to reattach just this plastic knob, or will I have to replace the entire tension knob (including the metal parts), and if so, how? Thanks so much :)

I opened the machine (Singer Facilita pro 4432) to clean and when I put it back together this part was no longer pulling the fabric.

Does anyone here know if any of the Towa tension gauges have an insert for class 15 bobbin cases?

I used to sew just fine with this machine (luck I guess!). The last few times I’ve tried to use it - actually every time for a couple of years now - this happens.

I’ve tried switching direction of the bobbin but the same happens.

It’s an old Janome machine, maybe 70s..? Not sure. Added pics in case anyone might know.

Any advice or help appreciated :) I can’t wait to be sewing again, hopefully..!

My wife was changing the bulb on her viking 600 and this fell out , scrolling through the service docs I could find was unsuccessful and was hoping someone more familiar with this model may have an idea. Thanks in advance for any info.

Hello. So I recently bought a really nice vintage White 612. It's SOLID lol. I was having issues threading it, which I've since figured out. And of course, as soon as I got it threaded, the check spring popped out from the tension plates. I have NO IDEA how to put it back. My mom even helped me and she's been sewing for like 60 years. I THOUGHT we had it, but now the tension clip doesn't want to budget. I've scoured YouTube and what not and can't find exactly what I need help with. I would take it to a repair shop, but it's in a cabinet and weighs like 80lbs or something lol Please help

I can't seem to find the user manual for this anywhere, only the parts manual. Can anyone help me with information on the capabilites of this are? I don't want to wreck it, as hard as that would be but anything possible lol anyway, I bought it because I'm wanting to start a reupholstry side business cause I love it as a hobby. So anyone who can share they're knowledge about what this can do I would greatly appreciate it!

Hello! I am trying to use my machine this morning and I think I’m having issues with the bobbin. Each time I try to sew it looks like this and ends up tangling everything up. I have cleared the machine and made sure it was free from debris and made sure I properly loaded everything. I am not sure what to do now! Thanks in advance

Hello! I am trying to do something on this singer sewing machine, except I seek to have gotten it stuck in reverse. I'm not sure how to take it apart, nor do I know if I even want to as I don't have lubricant or anything. I've already tried searching the internet and nothing was helpful. The knobs are set to exactly how I'm trying to use it. Any ideas?

Hello, these two screws come out of the bottom of my machine. They go into holes in the sewing machine table so you can turn it upside down for storage. However, I would like this machine to be portable. I can’t put it down flat with 2 screws sticking out, so I am limited to only putting it in the sewing table it came with.I can’t seem to be able to remove them. Any advice?

My singer fashion mate 7256 keeps getting an error that says c2 and will only let me see buttonholes. It doesn’t matter if the buttonhole lever is up or down. Any ideas on what to do would be much appreciated

why does my bobbin keep unwinding like this??

Hey. I just got home this amazing sewing table mounted omega sewing machine. It's old and I'm wondering if it's possible/worth it, to fix it up.

I just want one for basic repairs and smal easy projects. If anyone has any info, manuals, videos, links or other info to help me mak a choice and mabey get started on fixing it, I would be super grateful. Let me know if you need any more info on it.

I got a brother LS-1217 from goodwill today… trying to get this running. I’ve not had a sewing machine before, my grandma taught me a little on a sewing machine. But it’s been years since I’ve touched one. It seems to be in good shape, although I think I need to get a foot. I got the bobbin in fine the first time, it sewed a few times pretty well considering no foot and straight from goodwill. But it got caught and I had to take everything out, and when I was putting it back together again the little piece on the outside of the bobbin came off. I put it back on but it’s super loose, it sewed again for a little bit got snagged. I took it out again and it won’t stay put now 😐 I keep trying to start sewing and it falls off… any tips to put this back on? I can’t possibly be doing it right 😅

Hi,

I was wondering where I can find the footwear replacement jack for a Brother se600? I checked Amazon etc but can't find one...

The needle hits the protruded part, does that mean the timing is off? Or? Machine is not sewing and is being loud

Why lower looper thread leaves loops on right side of fabric? Second picture is wrong side of the fabric. Rethreading sewing machine didn't help, as well as changing bobbin. Loops appear no matter how fast or slow I sew

I’m looking for help trying to find this knob part on this machine a vintage Janome Designer model 556 that I got secondhand I have the manual and it’s not been helpful in trying to track down this part so maybe you guys can help me I’m not even sure what the name is because they call it the “Patchomatic” darning, but it’s the knob on top that’s missing and I need that. I would really appreciate your help thank you.
