Question about Necchi 3537 Mechanical Sewing Machine

1 Answer

Machine tension knob does not work.

Been having this problem since I received the machine. I hope its just something I've done wrong and can be fixed easily. It seems I can never get the tension to work properly. It is either completely loose or very tight. It rarely works enough to become tight though. When I sew, most of the time the top thread will loop under the lower bobbin until the thread breaks. This is when I have the tension set between 3 and 5.

Use a better quality thread. Sometime old or cheap thread never works right. Check to make sure you have the right needle for your fabric.

How to fix the tension on the bottom part of the fabric with Jean material
With threading tension issues, first you start by checking the bobbin tension and once that is set correctly, everything is done using the top tension dial. This is explains in text article

What is Perfect Sewing Machine Tension? Perfect sewing machine tension occurs when the top and bottom threads are perfectly balanced. That means you shouldn't see any little loops on either the top or bottom of your fabric and the stitching should look even on both sides.

The tension control has a screw on the inside wall of the sewing machine. It probably came loose and will not allow the tension to pull taught. If you take the top off you can look down to where the tension knob is coming from. There is a screw that you can tighten while you push forward on the tension knob while set to zero. Keep the presser foot up.

.... if it was sewing fine before the bit 'dropped off' it probably doesnt need the other thing done - they just are standard type check / adjust things done with a service. Weigh up how much a new machine will cost you v the repair. How happy are you with it? How often do you use it?
I am not familiar with this model, but the 'clutch' is generally a very simple setup. If you feel confident and can get the end cover off , have a peek - find the bit that dropped off ......
The only tension you should need to adjust is the bobbin tension - which I am sure you already know how to. Top tension is normally just a clean out of fluff etc.

Singer 8280 sewing machine tension won't increase
Make sure your needle and tread match your project. There simply isn't such a thing as a "universal needle." Also try lengthening your stitch. Heavier fabrics typically need a slightly longer stitch. Upon commencing to sew always grasp the 2 threads and slightly pull as you begin your seam.

I assume your garage sale find has a manual. Be sure your bobbin is unspooling in the correct direction. If it didn't come with a manual.. http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/430_8280_es.pdf

Good luck.

I want to know which knob I use to make the stitching narrower
there are generally two variable controls .. one adjusts the stitch length (distance between stitches measured in stitches per inch) ... the second is stitch width .. that adjusts how far the zigzag moves left and right .. thats usually just a number from 0 to 10 or so .. 10 would be maximum width .. 0 would be used for straight stitch ..
so you need to adjust the stitch width control to make the stitching narrower .. the controls are called different things on different brand sewing machines .. if you have the brand and model number then there may be instruction booklets available ...

Thread gets stuck around a knob on Necchi 536 FB sewing machine
I'm guessing you would have loosened the tension? Is there grit or something sticky (dirty oil) stuck between the tension discs?

I need to reset all the tension settings and reset the stitch selection for straight stitching. After moving to SC I was able to do straight stitching. Then I tried to do zigzag but I couldn't get it to work. I tried to adjust the stitch size, and upper thread tension (I didn't touch the bobbin tension) to get it to work. I then tried to return it to straight stitching but all the thread would glob up under the material. What do I do to correct this?
