I can help you reassemble your tension control for your Singer Sewing.

I know that you can get exploded parts charts and service manuals for Singer Consumer and Industrial products from sites like this.

The exploded parts diagrams look something like this: (for this 261U41 model)

i have a singer sewing machine, model 456, i took - f45d933.jpg

I suspect this is the type of document you are looking for.

To provide more help sourcing the information you are looking for, I require more specific model information on your sewing machine:

  • Is your sewing machine a consumer or commercial model?
  • What is the complete model number of your sewing machine? (I can't see any 'model 456' on Singer's website, nor can I google anyone selling a 'singer model 456'.)
I hope that helps.

Hi

The top and bottom tensions of your Brother sewing machine must be in balance to make good-quality stitches. If the tension is not equal, the stitches will appear loopy on one side of the fabric, or the fabric will bunch up as you sew. A numbered tension dial usually is located on the top of the machine, which controls the tension of the upper thread. The bobbin case usually has a tiny screw which can be turned slightly to adjust the tension of the bottom thread. The bobbin thread rarely has to be adjusted. A balanced tension normally can be achieved by adjusting the upper thread tension dial.

Please check the bellow links …

How to thread tension on my L47 singer sewing machine

Threading and tension are two different things.

You can search for a manual:
Make Model manual
or
Make Model threading
(most machines thread similarly so even if you don't find your specific model, the instructions would be helpful)

https://www.manualslib.com/products/Singer-L47-4062252.html


When threading, be sure to ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot so the thread will seat completely in the tension disk.

For tension, generally start with the tension set at the midway point. Tension is correct when the top and bobbin threads meet in the middle of the fabric. If the bobbin thread is showing on the fabric top, loosen the top tension. If the top thread is showing on the underside of the fabric, tighten the top tension. Do not adjust the bobbin tension until it has been determined that the top tension does not make the adjustments needed. (Bobbin tension is sensitive--a little change makes a big affect so you will need to know how to reverse any changes you make.)

My singer 227 m was a gift i accidently took the bobbin out now dont know how to put back in also need the settings they need to be on please cuz the top thread is reallyy loose

If the upper thread tension is off, most likely it is threaded incorrectly or it is not seated in the tension disks. Remove the upper thread, RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning. Verify the thread path is correct. Set the upper tension to the midway point between high & low number to start and then tweak it from there.

A manual for your machine would be a tremendous help.

SINGER Installing Front Load Bobbin Tutorial

Be sure to keep your machine clean and oiled--ONLY fresh, good quality sewing machine oil or liquid Tri-Flow Synthetic Lube from the hardware store. Open the top lid, the side over the needle bar and the bobbin area. Slowly rock the handwheel and apply ONLY 1-2 drops every place where metal rubs against metal. AVOID belts, plastic gears, cams. Be sure to move selector dials and levers and oil those metal mechanisms too. Doing this every 40 hours of sewing will keep your machine happy and healthy. Also, remember to change out the needles frequently--every 8 hours of use.

How can I get the needle plate back on my singer Curvy sewing machine model 8763?

If it fit when you took it off, but you're having trouble putting it back on again, chances are you haven't put your bobbin case in correctly--that's why it won't fit. Review the placement of the case in your user's manual; if you can't locate it, you can download one free at the Singer Sewing Machine site.

How do I rebuild the upper tension mechanism for a singer sewing machine model 507?

It's far too complicated to explain on here. You need to get a service manual for your model, or find one with a similar dial. Make sure the manual covers tension dials. Getting the spring wound correctly can be a challenge. Have you checked to see the if the presser foot lever is pressing against the tension dial from the inside of the machine?

How do I put my foot controller back together, I took it apart because it will not turn off. My model # 66 - AA307535. Controller # 192257

more than likely, your variable resistor in the foot pedal is shot. cleaning is a low probability repair. replace the pedal assembly.

Looking for sewing machine manual for singer sewing machine model 6218. The bottom bobbin tension is so loose that it forms many loops under the fabric.

I went to the singer website & typed the number in 6218 & it came up with nothing, is that the correct model number?
the tension problem try adjusting the top thread tension to 3-5, & see if that helps the loose tension
