Warning tone? When I turn on my machine the stitch selector light flashes at 88, all the stitch selector lights flash on and off, and the machine emits a high pitched beep. What's going on and how do I fix this?

    The machine comes on. As soon as I press the sewing foot the machine starts to beep, all the lights come on, the number 88 shows up and the machine will not sew. I have tried changing needles, cleaning the dust on the inside, rethreading the bobbin and upper thread.

Singer 2639 Does the stitch selector have a light to tell what stitch is being selected?

Singer Touch-tronic 2000 makes loud humming/buzzing noise, stitch selector lights quit working, needle bar stopped moving.

Sounds like you've got a thread jam going on in the bobbin case area. Good cleaning and a new needle will probably fix it. See: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091202121550AAHxN8y

I cannot thread my bobbin, I can sew. When I try to thread the bobbin, Code 88 starts flashing.

You said "trying to THREAD the bobbin." Did you mean it happens when you put an empty bobbin on and push the spindle to the right? Is your needle all the way up? If so, pull the buttonhole lever ALL the way down, then smack it up, and check to make sure the twin needle lever is not selected. Frankly, I'm not in love with that system anyway; you might think about purchasing an inexpensive Sidewinder for less than $20. You can order from WalMart online; if you pick it up at a WalMart or FedEx facility like Kinko's, shipping is free. Believe me, you'll do yourself a favor; many problems with these machines are actually caused by loosely wound and/or badly wound bobbins. Also, think about purchasing prewounds; they're actually cheaper than winding your own.

When I thread the bobbin, code 88 flashes, what is that?

Try zero your embroidery hoop carriage by off/on your machine before your next application, if no result disconect your embroidery unit and connect back again ensuring it is properly connected. Hope the problem can be solved.

Janome V 74088 627 will do embroidery stitches but not straight or zigzag

I bought a Janome 627 from a second hand shop in Melbourne, Australia. The pattern selector on that machine was stuck - you could select the right-most stitches but it would not move to the stitches to the left of the button holes. I opened the machine and lubricated the stitch selector plate, and other the nylon gears, with Triflow clear synthetic grease. These plates/gears are white. I also gently raised the metal arm connected to the selector plate to the left a little with my finger to help ease it across as I turned the selector button towards the stiches on the left. I could see how the arm needed to raise a little to click into each stitch so I gently helped it do the raise movement. It is clear which arm, as it was the one moving as I changed between the stitches that were able to be selected. After a few uses the stitch selector would move through all stitches on its own and weeks later it still does.
