How do I re-align the shank on my Singer Quantum XL 6000?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Washing Machines to make model category.

This is what they say about this machine;

The Singer Quantum XL-6000 is the most technologically advanced sewing and embroidery machine on the market. If you're looking for a total fusion of innovation and imagination, look no further than this machine.

And in doing so, they make a machine that is software operating hardware and you can't fix them yourself. Try a Warranty Claim

If the presser foot isn't connected to the presser foot shank, place the foot under the center of the shank. Lower the presser foot lifter making sure that the shank goes over the presser foot pin. Press down firmly on the screw that holds the presser foot shank until you hear the foot snap into the shank. Do not turn the presser foot shank screw. See the pictures on page 9 of the manual (page 11 of the PDF). Manuals LIb has this page here https://www.manualslib.com/manual/470415/Singer-7033.html?page=11#manual . The manual is also available from Singer on their support page: https://www.singer.com/support . The direct link to the manual is https://www.singer.com/sites/default/files/product_manual/SINGER%207029_7033_%207035%20and%209410%20Sewing%20Machine.pdf . For feet that are attached to the slant shank, you loosen the presser foot shank screw. Place the shank over the presser foot screw and then tighten the screw to hold the presser foot. If you removed a foot and the shank together, put it back on. Make sure that the needle and the presser foot lifter are in their highest positions. Push up the front side (toe) of the presser foot until the foot snaps off the shank.

If the presser foot doesn't snap into place, make sure that you have everything aligned properly. Otherwise check for damage to the presser foot and the shank. Replace any damaged parts. Some presser feet are available here: https://www.sewingpartsonline.com/singer-7033-sewing-machine-parts.aspx .

I hope this helps.

have you got the correct plate installed for zigzag sewing
it is the needle that jumps side to side and if you are using a single hole plate that will cause the problem

contact singer customer support or you can take the machine to a sewing machine shop to have it checked

Your foot pedal works on several models of high-end machines, including a Bernina. Unfortunately, while you can easily purchase a replacement at several sites, it's pricey. However, I took a look on eBay, and there's one for sale there for $50, which is much better than $149, which is the list price. Here's the link

There are several FB and Yahoo groups dedicated to the Quantum XL-1000, XL-5000 and XL-6000 who can help you. It may be that your problem with the autothreading is the autothreader is out of adjustment, but I'm at a loss as to the bobbin winder problem.

Check that the foot is installed correctly. Change the needle in case it is slightly bent.

Go to the singer website
Go to the home page
Go to customer service--click on it--it will show a small menu--click on instruction manual
In the box put the model number (example 6000) & click search
if nothing comes up contact singer customer service

I have a suggestion that may sound a bit over the top, Singer is no longer an independent company, it seems that Elna has bought or merged with Singer. Elna has a machine called the Xquisit and it is the identical machine to the Singer XL 6000, I have given lessons on the Elna machine by using my Singer to show what to do. You might contact Elna and see if there is someone to help with your problem or contact several service centers to see if they have any dead Singers and therefore orphaned embroidery units. Just a suggestion.
