How to oil embrodiery unit on a singer quatunum xl 5000

SOURCE: problems with embrodiery unit

I had this problem with my machine. I did not give up. I got my disk out and tried everything again in sequence. I had not turned the sewing part on the arm to embroidery. It is located where the arm slides on. The key is not to give up too quick. If you have the disk watch the video. Always make sure you use the mesh over your thread or the machine will beep with a red light.
I am an advanced sewer but this is one of the poorest machine I ever bought, with little or no help from the Singer Company.

SOURCE: thread keeps breaking on my singer XL 5000. Seems like after i cleaned lint out of bobbin area i started having the problem

The needle thread breaks
1. the needle thread is not threaded properly
2. The needle thread tension is to tight
3. The needle is bent or blunt
4. The needle is incorrectly inserted
5. The needle thread & the bobbin thread are not set under the presser foot when starting to sew
6. the threads were not drawn to the rear after sewing
7. The thread is either to heavy or to fine for the needle

Testimonial: "Thank you. I changed to a different size needle. That did the trick"
