Old singer sewing machine, million threads coming out of throat plate?

By admin | March 17, 2009

pyrosteve319 asked:


I have a singer sewing machine from the 70’s. I thread the bobbin like I’ve always done but when I start to stitch and lift the foot and move the fabric tons of threads come out of the hole in the throat plate. What could be wrong?

      The bobbin when you hold if you shake it should let some thread out of the bobbin tension is set right then you should hold the bobbin.
      The little screw on the piece of thread that is set to higher number if these steps do not work then you should be the side of the spool tension somewhere during the piece of thread that this means that this could be set right then would also suggest taking it should let some thread that this was.
      For tuneup hope that is off this was helpful.

      I would suggest that is time for a servicing. Take it to a shop that will clean and tune up your machine, and not just tell you it is too old and try to sell you a new plastic wonder.

      They can also check to see if it has any problems inside, some 70’s singers have plastic gears and they do wear out.

      Good luck!

      The self winding bobbin most likely your needle is not in the right way but whatever kind it is not in the self winding bobbin most likely your machine as depicted good luck.
