Question about Singer Quantum XL-5000 Computerized Sewing Machine

Oiling and cleaning

I'm 75 yrs old and love my XL-5000. I do a lot of machine embroidery. The authorized repair shop is miles away. I just want to know where and how to oil it. I take care of the lint problem, but the manual doesn't show anything about oiling. Thank you for any help.

You put a tiny drop of oil in the bobbin case. Take off your embroidery unit and face it where you can see under the arm. See the long rod..There is a felt pad on each end of the rod. Using a Q-tip oil the felt pad.

If there are no obvious oil holes then the machine is lubricated for life and providing you carry on doing what you are doing I would not worry about it too much Ken [email protected]

Which one is the best for Embroidery Singer XL 420 or Singer SEQs 6000?
Difficult to advise since we really don't know your criteria.

SEQS 6000 FUTURA QUARTET
FWIW, I would be hesitant to purchase a machine with so many functions, ie sewing, embroidery, serging. Seems like a lot of things to go wrong.

XL 420 FUTURA

Your best bet is to do a lot of research on the internet. Read the reviews from people who have purchased these machines. Then go talk to a Singer specialist. Only when you have gathered as much information as you can are you able to make an educated decision.

I have a Singer XL 580. I have never been able to get it to embroider. Had to send it back to the seller for a tension repair. The sample they sent back looked great!
the sample they sent back I would assume to be an example of what the machine did after attention in the repair shop
I would suggest that you find a sewing shop or a shop that sells material as some have like a women's sewing circle on the premises or a sewing circle group that just love to talk and show how it is done
I am not saying that you do not know , just that there are tricks to every trade and extra insights into HOW can be of significant help to achieve what you want to do

This is no exception, Please take your machine to a authorized repair shop to have the machine repaired properly. Note: Most machine manufacturers do not sell parts to the public! Ill repaired machines can be dangerous to use is most cases.

When your sewing or embroderying the auto cutter will not cut
If it means a great deal to you, you CAN have it repaired, but it will mean that you will have to send it away. There are two repair centers that I know of that will repair this line of machines; they are probably the most complicated that Singer ever put out.

One is in the midwest, and the other is Atlanta Sewing Machine Company, in Atlanta, GA. While you can download the authorized repair centers from Singer, make sure that they can repair YOUR machine. Quite a few only work with mechanical machines, and only a few work on embroidery machines. Of those, fewer still can work on the XL-1000, -5000, and -6000.

My Brother PC 8200 was doing an embroidery pattern and suddenly sped up and went crazy! I can't get it to stop sewing motion except to turn all power off. Stop/Start button is red but non-responsive
*Grin* I use to have this machine! It's a very old machine and may not be worth repairing. *tear* It sounds like the on/off switch is broken and un-responsive. The "Sped up and went crazy", part sounds Motherboard related. You never know; take it to a Authorized Brother repair shop motherboard....

Happy New Year!
