The bobbin winder has a small rubber tyre...probably damaged or broken and needs replacing

    it is at the base of the pin and you will not be able to split the casing without damaging it

SOURCE: How do I pull up the spool pin?

from the questions I read, this has happened to alot of people.
normally the spool pin should be easy to pull up with 2 fingers, if it's not then most likely there could be something wrong, you can try to use a pair of pliers to pull the spool pin up,, but if it's come loose or broke then it will have to be replaced. and some sewing machine are not mint to be opened by anyone except a factory trained technican.

How to tread Viking Husqvarna h class 500 r

I can't find a Husqvarna Viking H Class 500 R. There is a 500E. Make sure that the presser foot is up and the needle is in the highest position. Use the hand wheel to move the needle by turning the wheel towards you. All machines follow a move from right to left, down, up, down threading pattern. Place the spool on the appropriate spool pin and put on the spool pin cap. First guide the thread around the thread guide to the left of the spool pin and then pull it down along the groove. Continue running the thread down the groove and then around the inside of the tab at the bottom. Bring the thread up to the thread take-up lever. Pass the thread through the thread take-up lever from right to left. Insert the thread in the left-most groove and bring it down to the thread guide. Guide the thread into the thread guide above the needle. To use the needle threader, lower the presser foot. Otherwise, push the thread through the eye of the needle from front to back. See the manual if you are using a vertical spool or a double needle. The needle threader can't be used with a size 60 needle or the multi-needle options.

For inserting the filled bobbin, raise the needle. Open the bobbin cover plate by pressing the release button to the right while pushing the left corner of the plate. Place the bobbin on the pin of the bobbin case with the bobbin rotating counter-clockwise when the thread is pulled gently. Pull the thread through the slot slightly to the left of the 6 o'clock position (12 hour clock) and then to the left. Gently hold the bobbin with a finger and pull the thread the second slot (near 8 o'clock). Pull out about 6" of thread heading towards the rear of the machine and replace the bobbin cover plate.

The manual for the H-Class 500E is available here: https://www.husqvarnaviking.com/en-US/Machines/H-CLASS-500E . The current link to the manual is https://www.husqvarnaviking.com/getattachment/Machines/H-CLASS-500E/HClass_500E_manual_EN_B.pdf.aspx . See page 11 (page 13 of the PDF) for threading the top thread. Page 15 (page 17 of the PDF) has the section on inserting the bobbin.

I hope this helps.

I was attempting to pick up the bobbing thread, before sewing. The needle is now stuck in the down position and the handwheel is unresponsive but the motor is whirring when foot pedal is depressed.

Do not press the foot pedal. Continuing to run the motor when the machine cannot work properly could irreparably damage the motor. Unplug your machine. Cut the top thread at the needle, open the bobbin area and try to remove the bobbin case. You may have to patiently snip tangled threads, but eventually you should be able to get the bobbin case out. Once that happens, the needle will most likely be free.

Lervia KH4000 sewing machine.When a spool is inserted the needle seems to hit it and won't move. The machine has been sewing perfectly till now

The needle is hitting the bobbin case? Try a brand new needle and if that doesn't fix it, the machine's timing is probably off. Search for sewing machine timing or take it for service.

Thread a bobbin on a 5825c

If you mean the Singer 5285C, the manual is available from Singer here: http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/449_5_6_8_10_slide.pdf . The diagram for winding the bobbin is on page 14 and inserting the bobbin is on page 15.

I'll attempt to walk through the steps. Push in on the indent on the hand wheel to lock the needle in the current position (note rotate the needle up first). Then with a spool on the spool pin and the cap securely holding the spool on the pin, snap the thread through the thread guide post (near the center back of the top of the machine). Then wind the thread clockwise through the bobbin tension guide (towards the center front of the top of the machine). Next run the thread through the hole in the bobbin (inside to outside). Place the bobbin on the bobbin spindle on the front of the machine near the right hand side of the machine. Hold onto the thread end at the bobbin and start pushing down of the foot controller. Fill the bobbin to the amount of thread that you need, or until it stops. Cut the thread going from the spool to the bobbin.. Remove the bobbin from the spindle and trim the thread end that is sticking through the hole in the bobbin. Press the hand wheel disc on the side opposite from the indent.

Inserting the bobbin requires you to lift the presser foot and have the needle in the highest position. Slide open the face plate and remove the empty or wrong color bobbin. With the hole in the bobbin up, pull about 4" of thread off the bobbin. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case and hold it down lightly with a finger. Guide the thread through the notch near the front of the bobbin case. Then lead the thread down into the slot on the left and then around the second notch. The thread should be heading towards the center of the bobbin (left to right). Pull the thread diagonally back to the back of the machine and slide the bobbin cover closed. The thread should be coming up through the opening between the cover and the needle faceplate. To pull up the bobbin thread, thread the needle and then hold onto this top thread. Rotate the hand-wheel towards you until the needle rises above the needle plate. Gently tug on the top thread to bring up the loop of thread. Separate the needle thread from the bobbin thread with your fingers. Bring the top thread through the left side opening in the presser foot and then pull both threads to the back of the machine.

I hope this helps.

Hi I have a Lervia KH4000 sewing machine that i have been given with no instruction manual, I have used electric sewing machines before but on this one there is no obvious place to load the bobbin, do you...

I can't get a manual to download but it looks like a front loading bobbin machine, just remove the accessory case at the front to gain access to it.

HOW TO THREAD THE BOBBIN

Take the thread-end from the thread spool to the left, around the bottom of the "silver" "button"; across the top of the button and back to the right to the bobbin winder.

Run the thread-end through a hole in the side of the bobbin spool, hold onto the thread (pull through about 5" of thread) and place the bobbin spool onto the the bobbin winding pin.

You may have to turn a bit to the left or right to get the spool in place. Push the bobbin spool to the right; against the bobbin winding wheel.

Press on the power pedal - keeping hold of the thread-end.

As the bobbin fills, the thead end will twist.

When you can not longer hold on. Stop the machine and clip the thread end then continue to wind the bobbin.

You can view and download a manual here (free) - http://www.brother-usa.com/manuals/default.aspx?PGID=3&R3ModelID=XL2230
