Help trouble-shoot jammed machine

The computer will automatically adjust the needle upper position when the machine is switch on,
and automatically adjust the needle lower position when you start sewing. Please note that it is a
normal phenomenon if you hear a sound coming from the machine (machine adjusting sound)
and feel that the sewing is being delayed. It's not dangerous to sew.
- When operating correctly: 1 beep
- When operating incorrectly: 3-short beeps
- When the sewing machine is in trouble and can't sew: 8 seconds short beeps
It means that the thread is twisted or jammed and the hand wheel axle can't move. Please look
through the "Trouble shooting guide" on page 49 to find the solution. After the problem has
been solved, the machine will continue to sew.


Look for thread wrapped up in hand wheel or in hook/race. See following link for machine instructions.

try changing the needle
rethread the machine top & bobbin
make sure the bobbin is inserted correctly in the bobbin case
make sure the top thread is not coming off the thread take up lever
make sure the bobbin is wound correctly
if these suggestions don't work, I suggest that you take the machine
to a sewing machine shop to have it checked

happy sewing

Do you have it thraded correctly? Is the bobbin and its case in correctly? Do you have a manual? It can help with these issues. Linda at Relics

put a new needle in the machine

clean under the needle plate in the feed dog area for lint
also clean in the bobbin area for lint & loose threads

keep a check on the thread take up lever,, because when the thread comes off the thread take up lever it will build up thread under the fabric & can jam up the sewing machine

Ensure that your thread is properly threaded along all of the points on the top of the machine. However, in this case, it sounds to me like there is something on the bottom of the machine that is causing most of your trouble. Possibly a timing issue?

I'd suggest taking the machine in for a time and tune(will likely run you about 100 bucks) at any sewing machine repair facility. This will not only fix any possible timing issues, but most stores will be fast to point out any damaged or trouble parts. However, given the low stresses on most machine parts in a sewing machine, the most likely point will be that the tuneup and re-timing will solve the problem completely, as well as leaving your machine more able to run in the future.

Are you using heavy thread for the top stitching? If so you will need to tighten the top tension. You would think if it is thicker thread that you would need to loosen the top tension but you have to tighten it to help pull it up through the fabric. If you use heavy thread in the bobbin you would have to loosen the bobbin tension. Check and make sure the thread is seated in the top tension and make sure there is no lint in the tension disc. It is definitely a tension issue. Hope this helps.

Try these time savers:
Test your thread quality to start, thread your machine and LIFT the presser foot (this opens the tension disks). Pull your top thread straight back. If you feel no tension no mater how much thread you pull, your thread is good. If that your machine passes that test, then let me know, we can go to step 2. If not, try different spool of thread, same test until you get a smooth pull (tip: always check your thread this way when you thread your machine)
Step 2:
Pull on your threaded bobbin thread while it’s in the machine. Does it pull smooth and even? If so, go to step 3. If not, try a new bobbin (bobbins get bent or distorted if wound too tight).
Clean thoroughly in the hook and bobbin case area and oil 1-2 drop is all.

Welcome to FixYa! I am the sewing machine expert that chose to help you with your issue.

There are really only two things that can cause bottom (note: remember that problems with the bottom thread, almost always comes from the top and not the bobbin. Bobbins rarely need tension adjustments). These two things are:

1. An area was missed when the machine was threaded (most machines have an arrow at each area on the thread path where the thread MUST run or the stitch on the bottom will be sloppy. Threading can be tricky and even the most experienced miss once in a while.
2. The tension adjustment mechanism in the thread path. If the thread is not properly through this area, the thread on the bottom will be sloppy or if, threaded properly, and the tension is set too loose, the stitch will be sloppy. If the tension is set too tight, the bottom thread will be tight and pucker the fabric.

It is counter-intuitive that problems with the top tension cause problems with the bottom stitch but it sure will.

So try it and see if that helps.

Hi FixYa,

I'm fifi1076, and I'm having quiet a good bit of trouble with my sewing machine.

I'm new at this site so I don't know if I'm doing this correctly or not so please
forgive me if I do something I'm not suppose to do!!!!

I copied this question from off of this site for I wanted to make certain that
whoever answers my question will understand that all of the question
doesn't pertain to my problem.

"when we have it threaded the top thread keeps getting jammed up in the bottom bobbin. if i redo the bobbin as shown in manual then the bottom thread will not loop so it will stitch"

This is the only part that pertains to my problem...... when I have it threaded the top thread keeps getting jammed up in the bottom bobbin......and I can't get it to sew at all....it won't do nothing.....the motor will just sit there and grind.

If whoever can help me with this and can give me a solution I will be forever gratefull

Thanks,

Kay Nowicki
