Singer 507 sewing machine - material wont feed through

Take a look at pg 39/40 of the manual:

Singer 507


If that doesn't help, you can probably take it to a sewing repair shop and they can probably pop it back in for you.

..

the bobbin has nothing to do with the feed teeth
however it is possible that at some point you moved the forward /reverse knob lever to middle where the teeth will not move

Sounds like you have a thread jam( bird's nest) inside your bobbin housing. Take the face plate off, remove the bobbin, and take the housing apart if you have to...then start all over with winding new thread on the bobbin and re threading the machine before you try sewing. Hope this helps!

Re: Reverse feed dogs on Singer 4423 Remove extension table so you can see switch on BACK of machine @ left side. Flip switch to raise feed dogs up. If machine actually sewing in reverse - check n Buttonhole adjustment. Reset it (located bottom right side machine) Jimmy

Hello

Set the tension on the sewing machine for the weight of the material you want to sew. The tension setting shows in the stitch on the material. Use the chart on the machine that matches types of stitches with suggested material tensions. An example of this is, the stitch to sew jean material is different than the stitch to sew silk.

Take the bobbin and wind the thread around it. Make sure the bobbin is empty and don't fill it too full of thread. A bobbin filled too full won't stay tightly spun.

Thread the string evenly on the bobbin. Move the thread back and forth evenly and in layers that are level. Many Singer sewing machines have a bobbin winder on the top of the sewing machine, and the consistency of how it threads can save you frustration later.

Find the hole on the bobbin that is located near the inside spindle of the bobbin. Take the thread sitting on the sewing machines spool and insert the thread in the hole from inside the bobbin to the outside. Set the threaded bobbin on the spool designated for spinning on the top of the sewing machine for some Singers.

Turn the side drive wheel slowly until the threaded bobbin has a layer or two of thread on it. Push down on the drive peddle and fill the bobbin, but don't thread it to the very edge. If the bobbin is too full the thread will release erratically. Cut the thread from the spool.

Drop the bobbin into the bobbin case under the area where the needle sews the material. Close the case and turn by hand the side wheel drive until the bobbin threads into the sewing machine. You can tell when the bobbin is threaded by the tiny piece of thread that juts out of the bobbin case where the needle goes up and down.

Grab the thread with your fingers and pull it out approximately 4 inches. Your bobbin is now spun and threaded.

it should be right in front on the left of the machine small round knob or dail... going from 0123or 0-1-2-3 what is your problem not sewing good on top of material or bottom of material.... take out bobbin put back in change needle... re-thread the machine... sometimes it isnt the tension but just a odd thread in the bobbin case or too much lint from the fabric.... do you use it alot.... hope this helps...

There should be a spinning cover with a hook that fits over the bobbin. Normally, you just pull the bobbin thread out through the swinging/sliding plate hole. Turn the machine by hand toward you (at the top) until the needle dives into and comes back with both threads. Separate the threads and assuming that the thread tension above the needle is set correctly, feed a piece of material in to see if it sews correctly. The tension is set so that the thread is even on both sides of the material. Let the machine pull the material through at it's own pace, your function is to guide the material.

Singer sells manuals on their site (a few you can download for free) at http://www.singerco.com/accessories/manuals.html.

Remove the needle plate and clean the feed dogs there could be fluff gathering.
Check your needle is not damaged.

Singer sewing machine needle does not go directly down into opening of foot, it hits the back plate of foot. how can i align it.
