SOURCE: sewing machine, strange noise
Is the needle in right? There is a front and back to a needle. Also is it the right needle for the machine?
SOURCE: We recently bought a used 301 Singer Sewing
If I remember the 301 is an American model slant needle with a gear driven motor, the machines were known as 'Rockets' the noise you can hear is the play in the shaft of the motor which is very common to that model if it is where the noise is coming from, if the noise is coming from the needle area then a drop of oil might do it some good.
Testimonial: "your respond was very quick, thank you wee will add some oil tom the needle area and continue working with it."
SOURCE: I have a Singe 3116. The needle not working
the clutch is out. that allows you to wind a bobbin. take it out of bobbin mode and put it in sew mode (clutch in)
SOURCE: arm wont move and needle wont go up and down any
Annoying solution, but works every time. Remove the ENTIRE bobbin casing from the base and then turn the wheel. The needle should lift right out. Reassemble bobbin casing and oil very well.
This generally only happens when you are sewing through several layers of fabric or though a thick fabric. If you are doing neither, the timing in your machine may be off and you will need to get it repaired.
SOURCE: Needle moves up and & down and sews for a few
If you look at the website, www.sewvacdoctor.com and you can see, they say it may be your foot pedal or transducer(speed control inside the machine) I would call Singer and see if it is still under warranty, hopefully it is. If it is the foot controller, that is not too expensive, I don't know about the transducer. But, call Singer at -800-4singer and tell them what is happening. Good luck
