SOURCE: Why would my Singer 6235 not feed the fabic:

h! there,
fabric moves forward when machine run due to movement of feed dogs,feed dog has a teeth, when your foot presser goes down attached to fabrics the pressure hold the fabric between pressure foot and feed dogs that why when machine run feed dogs pushed fabric when recieved stitch.try to check adjustment of feed dogs it maybe set at rest or neutral.reset it to upward towards needle.check also bobbins thread if accumulation was build up under feed dogs.regard and have a nice day.

SOURCE: The bobbin case on my Singer Inspiration 4210

From what I gather on other sites, your thread has to be threaded under tension.... You have to make sure you hear a click when your bringing your thread down to the bottom of the "arm". Also, I thought the bobbin case was rather loosely held in its place, I adjusted this by unscrewing the black plate and moving it over just a smidge. The bobbin is supposed to have some wiggle room, but it kept popping up and making the tiny adjustment seems to have done the trick....for now...

SOURCE: how do i replace the bobbin case in singer machine

When you insert the bobbin case, make sure the "knub" on the bobbin case (#1) is just to the left of the position finger bracket (#2). It should sit in there nicely and you should be able to spin the hand wheel freely.

SOURCE: Bobbin won't spin to allow needle to catch thread

sometimes when you break a needle it can cause the machine to
jump time, the machine would have to be taken to a sewing machine
shop to be checked by the technican

How do i adjust bobbin tension on singer 4210

Open bobbin area and look at your bobbin carrier for a tiny metal screw that holds down a metal piece to the plastic carrier. Tighten the screw. Be careful though...the plastic can strip.

Singer inspiration. When using zipper foot. Excess amount of thread on bottom of material, very loose and loopy. Wasting alot of thread for such a some task.

Your top threading is not right, check to make sure that your thread hasn't jumped out of a guide. Totally rethead with the presser foot up, now pull thread, it should move smoothly, next put the presser foot down, the thread should barely move. This will seat your thread in the tension discs. If, that does not work, insert a new needle.

The wheel that lowers the needle will not move forward, it will move in reverse to some extent. I have rethreaded , and pulled out the bobbin casing and no change.

Do not turn your wheel to the rear! You will mess up the timing. You have thread or cloth caught in the bobbin area. Clean your machine as per your manual.

Singer 4210 does not work: it is plugged in, the light is on, but when pressing the pedal nothing happens.

Make sure that the foot pedal is correctly inserted and that you have selected a stitch pattern. Also, recheck your threading, totally rethread if needed, bobbin also

Raising the bobbin

Use a SA 156 metal bobbin (ebay, 20 of them for $8.99 free shipping) and make sure the bobbin thread is turning the right direction, read you manual or call singer at 1-800-4singer
