Do not loosen the screw. The most likely issue is that you didn't get the bobbin case in exactly the right position. Remember you have to get the forked end straddling the bracket. Then twist the bobbin case slightly to the left and back as you push it down lightly. Keep doing this until the edge of the sewing hooks engages in the groove under the rim of the bobbin case. It can take practice to get the bobbin case properly aligned. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells (I have a slightly different Singer model. It still takes three tries to replace the bobbin case at times. It's hard to tell exactly how far to twist and push the unit even when I think it's aligned properly.)

Yes, the Singer 4530 should be able to fit into most standard-sized sewing machine cabinets. Make sure to measure the size of your cabinet to ensure the Singer machine and all its accessories will fit inside.

Check troubleshooting in manual. Manuals can be found online. Bobbin could be loaded in machine incorrectly. Check the way the thread comes off the spool, it might be catching on something causing it to snap.

If the bobbin on your Singer sewing machine is not threading correctly, there may be a problem with the bobbin case or the bobbin tension. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

Check the bobbin case: Make sure the bobbin case is correctly installed in the machine and seated properly. If it is not, the bobbin may not be able to thread correctly. Refer to the manual or a diagram of your machine to determine the correct position for the bobbin case.

Check the bobbin tension: The bobbin tension should be just right - not too loose or too tight. If the tension is incorrect, the bobbin may not thread correctly. To check the tension, remove the bobbin case and hold it with the opening facing up. Then, gently pull on the thread. It should offer some resistance, but the thread should still smoothly glide through the tension spring. If the tension is not correct, you can adjust it by turning the tension dial on the bobbin case.

Check the machine settings: Make sure the machine is set to the correct stitch type and thread tension. Refer to the manual or a diagram of your machine to determine the correct settings.

Clean and oil the machine: If the machine has not been used in a while or has not been properly maintained, it may need to be cleaned and oiled. Dirt and debris can accumulate in the machine and affect its performance. Use a brush to clean out any visible debris, and oil any points where the manual recommends.

If the needle on your Singer sewing machine model 5830c is hitting the hook and you have verified that it is the correct needle for the machine, there could be a few different issues causing the problem. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the needle height: Make sure the needle is properly positioned in the machine and is not set too high or too low. If the needle is set too high, it can hit the hook as it rotates. You can adjust the needle height by turning the handwheel towards you until the needle is in its highest position, and then turning the handwheel away from you until the needle is one or two notches above the highest point of the hook.
2. Check the needle size: Make sure you are using the correct size needle for the fabric and thread you are using. If the needle is too small for the thread or fabric, it can cause the needle to hit the hook as it rotates.
3. Check the bobbin case: If the bobbin case is not properly seated in the machine or is damaged, it can cause the needle to hit the hook as it rotates. Make sure the bobbin case is correctly installed and not damaged.
4. Check the machine's timing: If the timing of the machine is off, it can cause the needle to hit the hook as it rotates. You can check the timing by removing the needle plate and observing the movement of the hook as the machine runs. If the hook is not moving in sync with the needle, it may be necessary to adjust the timing of the machine.

If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the machine serviced by a professional. A technician will be able to diagnose the problem and determine the necessary repairs.

Are you holding the needle thread as you turn the hand wheel? You need a bit of tension on the top thread to get the bobbin thread to tie onto it. It's safer and better to do this by hand, in my experience with a Touch 'N Sew Singer. Try threading the machine again with the presser foot fully up and the needle bar is in the highest position to avoid a tension problem. Double-check that the bobbin isn't over-filled or empty. Check that the needle point is undamaged. Try a brand new needle. If that isn't the problem, check that the bobbin case isn't damaged and that the bobbin case/feed dog area is clean. Similarly, make sure that the bobbin wind mechanism is undamaged. Check the bab (My Touch 'N Sew is an inherited machine. The bobbin wind mechanism broke and was replaced several times after the push-button failed to release when the slide plate was closed. Those were all before I got it. I've gotten in the habit of opening and closing the slide plate a few times to check the position.) For removing the bobbin case, see page 104 (page 110 of the PDF) of the manual.

Which specific model Singer Touch Tronic do you have? The Touch Tronic 2001 has a special cover plate and foot for darning and embroidery that blocks the feed dogs. Could that be installed on your machine? Try changing the cover plate to the zig-zag or straight stitch one, depending on your stitch choice. The zig-zag cover plate is appropriate for most stitches. Four different cover plates are listed in the included accessories on page 3 (page 5 of the PDF) of the manual. Most Singer manuals are available here: https://www.singer.com/support . The Touch Tronic 2001 manual link is currently https://res.cloudinary.com/singer-sewing/image/upload/fl_attachment/Singer-Website-Library/outdated_product/5a0f6c95685a2d9c7d9a495892142df0f3a2707a_1.pdf . I hope this helps. Unfortunately, if the other cover plates are not with the machine's accessories, I've only found a source for the slide plate. None of the cover plates appear to be available.

Hello, Nicholas - The information here may prove instructive to you: http://tupelocreative.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-i-restored-102-year-old-singer.html This is a link to another instructive blog on servicing and cleaning a Singer 66: http://mysewingmachineobsession.blogspot.com/2011/09/how-to-service-and-clean-singer-66-or.html If you need parts for your machine, you may find them here: https://www.vintagesingerparts.com/collections/singer-model-66 If your machine didn't come with a user's manual, you can download the manual (PDF document) here: http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/41_66.pdf Best wishes.

the speed is controlled by the foot peddle unless you have the knee lever type. if you have the knee lever there is a handle stored in the bentwood top plug it in the hole on the front of the case and it controls the resister under the panel at the far right of the machine case. although these work i usually wire around them as i prefer a foot speed controller

no there is not a reset or fuse.. does the light work? if yes then you have power to the machine I'm pretty sure it's the foot peddle or a loose wire. ... although the foot peddle rarely goes out this way it can happen.. if it's not a big deal i would suggest taking it in for repair but if it's a financial hardship then you can unplug the machine remove the panel where the wires go in (two flat screws) and you will probably see if any wires are broken .. it goes back together just like it came apart.. next open the foot peddle they usually slide open by prying the clamp end and sliding it .. careful to keep your hand out of the way those sharp pieces bite. once inside you can again check for broken or loose wires.. there are youtube videos on these

It is because it is battery operated and doesn't need a power label. It should be in this link. https://www.google.com/search?q=singer+quick+fix+mending+machine+model+number ..

Sounds like there could be a burr or nick somewhere that is catching the thread and shredding it. Change the needle. Wrap your index finger with some fine fabric (old hosiery, chiffon, silk) and run it around inside the machine around the bobbin/shuttle, feed dogs, needleplate, presser foot. If there is a burr, you will probably find it. If it is minor, it can be smoothed with a fine emery board or fine sand paper. If it is major, you may need to replace the part. ...

Most machines from the era thread and operate the same. However, the bobbin mechanism may differ. How to thread Singer 15K Treadle Sewing Machine How to Thread Vintage Antique Singer Treadle Electric Sewing Machine... How to thread vintage round bobbin sewing machine Singer 99K

Not much on that operation, but normally you just unscrew the knob fully anticlockwise. Some have a small set screw to limit movement, so you would undo that first. https://www.google.com/search?q=Singer+8734.+remove+tension+disc https://www.google.com/search?q=singer+8734.+parts+manual ..
