My sewing machine model#385-12312 serial #24027509 The thread keeps breaking. I have changed the needle few times but it doesn't work.

Could be several reasons: mis-threaded, tension too tight, thread snagging on something or wrapped around something in the thread path, incompatibility of needle/thread/fabric... Also, avoid old or bargain bin variety thread--use only fresh good quality thread.

The bobbin housing in singer model 9410 keeps moving out of position

After you put the bobbin case in, release it, and then pull on it to make sure it is in correctly.
The gathering is called a "bird's nest", and is caused by the machine not being threaded correctly.
Rethread the machine top and bobbin.
Then, sew a test stitch on a scrap of like material.

I am having a problem with my Janome Decor Excel 5018. It was working fine, until the bobbin thread won't gather with the top thread. And the top thread is binding up underneath the fabric. Kim

try a new needle

rethread the machine top & bobbin, that way you make sure the thread is not caught anywhere

make sure the bobbin is correctly inserted in the machine

clean under the needle plate & in the bobbin area for loose thread & lint

always keep a long thread tail of 3 to 5 inches long, & keep the tails pulled back behind the needle
before sewing

if none of these things help the problem,, then it may need to be serviced

I have a singer 237 and the bobbin thread gathers

Nice solid machine that one, top tension on 4 or 5, make sure the bobbin turns anti clockwise in the bobbin case, if the thread is pulling out too tight slacken the screw on the bobbin case ant clockwise about a quarter of a turn at a time and test, you should only just be able to pull the thread through with slight resistence

The bobbin case on my Singer Inspiration 4210 sewing machine keeps popping up in the back causing my thread to bunch up underneath. What is causing this? Is the bobbin case in wrong? How is it supposed...

From what I gather on other sites, your thread has to be threaded under tension.... You have to make sure you hear a click when your bringing your thread down to the bottom of the "arm". Also, I thought the bobbin case was rather loosely held in its place, I adjusted this by unscrewing the black plate and moving it over just a smidge. The bobbin is supposed to have some wiggle room, but it kept popping up and making the tiny adjustment seems to have done the trick....for now...

Please check your fabric results. Is it the bobbin thread that is accumulating under the fabric, or is it really the top thread that is globbing and knotting under the fabric. Usually, thread mishaps under the fabric are the result of an issue with the top thread.

ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot when threading the upper thread. This releases the tension disks so the thread will seat properly. Use a brand new needle. Start out with the upper thread tension set midway between high & low numbers, although this can be tweaked.

If it is in fact the upper thread, then here are some suggestions:
