Manual having problems with this machine.. not sure if its threaded right. i dont have the manual. it only sews for like 10 seconds and then locks up. someone please call Linda Norman in ft Lee, va @804-957-6352

There are some videos in the link. If the bottom stitch isn't locking in, that sounds indicative of either the bobbin case is not in properly or the bobbin isn't threaded correctly. Manuals for this model are only available for a fee. This is the second Frister and Rossman machine I have seen today, and never seen them on here in the last 12 years!

Which model is your sewing machine? There may have been several with the Merritt Lock name. The 14U44 Merrit Lock uses the same manual as the 14U44B. The manual for 14U44B UltraLock model is available from Singer here: http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/4268b9ecf6c0ad26e8810365518e68cfea086994.pdf . See pages 10 - 17 (12- 19 of the PDF). There's also the 14U44B manual here: http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/1292_14u44b,244b.pdf . The threading diagram is on the same pages. I'm not exactly sure which manual will help you. Additional manuals are available here: http://www.singerco.com/accessories/instruction-manuals . Enter the first part of the model number (up to any alphabetic characters). You can order copies for $15-20, depending on the machine.

I hope this helps.

Euro-pro won't pickup thread problem is timing problem. repair shops want more than u paid for the machine to fix it.

Try a new needle in your machine, and rethread, then have a long enough tail on your thread on top and bottom thread, Also, make sure that you are threaded right, by that I mean that when you pull your top thread with the presser foot up, it feeds smoothly, then you know that the tension discs when you are on the way down are giving the right tension. Now put the presser foot down, and the thread should hardly move. Now thread your bobbin, make sure that it is feeding the correct way, pull on the thread and see that it is unwinding correctly.
If, you need a manual, go to www.singerco.com and download it for free. Look at the threading diagram, make it larger if necessary. Good luck. I hope that this helps you. .

Are following these instructions? http://www.sewusa.com/Threading_Diagrams/Threading_Pages/Singer_Sewing_Machine_Threading/singer_401_threading_diagram.htm

Note: always thread a sewing machine with the presser foot up and make sure the bobbin thread is feeding from the bobbin as indicated in the manual.

Tension is usually around 4.

You need the right bobbin for this model: Class 66.

i was told this is a timing problem

Make sure the bobbin is NOT overfilled. Make sure the thread leaves the bobbin in the appropriate groove and the CORRECT direction. Leave the right amount of thread out of the bobbin to start and follow the manual's suggestions

Hold the needla thread for a cycle and bring the bobbin thread up before sewing.

try looking here for your answer, if you dont find one ASK the Baby lock people. :)

Hope this helps!

What do you mean you are unable to pull the bobbin thread through, elaboration would help solve the problem...
I suspect I'm having the same problem with you if it's anything to do with the top thread looping around in the bobbin holder.

Damn machine!
