Help I can't thread my machine!!

I have not used my machine in several months and during that time I have forgotten how to thread the machine. I have the manual - which is close to useless. The main problems I am having is with the thread order and the upper and lower loopers. TIA

Hi Jacqueline....I can honestly tell you that nobody over the internet can be more helpful or effective than what you physically have available to you right now. I truly understand what you mean regarding the manual "teaching" you the correct threading order, so just put it at arms length for now. When you're ready, open your looper cover, and methodically study the color coded guides, visually tracing from spool holder to looper, working your way from right spool holder to left spool holder. Take your time, and if angst or frustration begin to creep up on you, just walk away, and continue when you WANT to. The repetition in visually studying the color guides will trigger your memory. And when it does, you're not going to remember the right way, instead, you're going to begin to understand what is wrong, and before you know it, you will be reaching for that manual, but this time, the manual will indeed provide your answers.....please update your post with developments, and I will continue to do my best to help you....good luck my friend

?I HAVE A ZUKI TL-2010Q. IT WORKED UNTIL I HAD TO CHANGE THE BOBBIN.NOW THE TOP THREAD KEEPS BREAKING.I HAVE RETHREADED THE TOP THREAD SEVERAL TIMES,WITHOUT ANY CHANGE IN THE SEWING.

Remove both, the top thread and the bobbin from the machine.
Re-check your owner's manual then re- thread the bobbin and install it in the machine. (Make sure the bobbin is turning the correct direction.)
Re-check the instructions for threading the top thread.
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and re-thread the top thread following the thread path shown in the manual.
Start with the top tension set at the midway point between low and high number--then tweak it for your current project.

AVOID old or bargain bin thread!!!!

Sometimes, installing a brand new needle will help. A new needle should be installed every 8 hours of sewing time! A damaged needle will cause a great deal of sewing havoc but is really inexpensive when resolving sewing issues.

Consew 206rb1 stopped sewing

Have you tried a new needle? Needles should be changed out before each project and if a large project, several times during the project.

Bobbin thread is in big loops

It doesn't sound like a timing problem Featherweights rarely have that. It's most probably insufficient top (needle thread) tension. I suspect there's some gunge, lint or broken thread between the plates. Have it apart and give it a good clean then reset it.

How can I clean the upper thread sensor? My machine continually throws a "Check upper thread" error, even though the upper thread is fine. It seems the sensor is not "Seeing" it.

Try using waxed dental floss to dislodge the snag. Gently pull the floss toward the needle through the thread path. You might have to do it several times. You can use canned air to blow the lint out of the machine. Then make sure you are using a good quality thread. Avoid those cheap spools of thread because they usually are not spun tightly enough to prevent lint build up in the thread path.

I've borrowed an old elna machine and I used it fine a year ago, but this year I've forgotten how to thread it and how the bobbin threading works as well. Could you please help?

Go to www.sewusa.com and you can see threading of different machines. You can buy a manual from them also. You tube shows how to thread machines also. Good luck

Singer Concerto 9217 - problem threading bobbin

thread the same way as for sewing. put empty bobbin case in bottom. close slide plate only to red button, not all the way. wrap thread from needle around bolt that holds on the presser foot (or just hold it tight). press pedal to sew. bobbin should wind. when done, shut slide plate all the way and sew.

if this doesn't work, try using a pin to push down the center of the bobbin when the slide plate is in winding position - the little catch on the bottom of the plate breaks easily and then the bobbin won't wind without a little help.

Raising the bobbin

Use a SA 156 metal bobbin (ebay, 20 of them for $8.99 free shipping) and make sure the bobbin thread is turning the right direction, read you manual or call singer at 1-800-4singer

Viking 1+--Thread breaks during embroidery

If the thread will not run through the tension mech on 0 then it is probably stuck on a tight setting. It can be a bit complicated but the tension mech can be stripped/cleaned/free'd up. Another possible cause is the path of the thread from the spool to the needle any deviation from the correct path increases the tension at the needle. If you do not know the history of the machine I would suggest a thorough clean and service.
