SOURCE: Machine slows down,stops, starts again. Foot control problem?

Yes it does sound like a faulty foot control. The power cord is probably fine, you just need the controller. Ebay is a good source for parts.

SOURCE: kenmore sewing machine needle doesn't move.. won't go up and down.. the motor is running

Sounds like the drive from the motor to the needle head has worn or is broken. You really need an engineer for this one. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Kenmore 158.1703 sewing machine - needle not going up and down

The machine sounds like it has threads caught in the bobbin area thus locking the machine up. Check in there and maybe you can pick them out with tweezers. They may need to be 'softened up' with a little oil before you can get them out!. also Please push the bobbin winder back to the left position and it will release the bobbin winder. Then you should be able to sew. If the needle won't move, you will need to tighten the turning wheel on the right side end of the machine. This should move your needle. Then you should be set to sew.
------This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya

My machine is slowing down during sewing and then goes back to normal.

If your sewing machine is slowing down during sewing and then goes back to normal, there are a few possible causes to consider:
  1. Tension Issues: If the tension on the thread is too tight or too loose, it can cause the machine to slow down or even stop. Make sure the thread is properly threaded through the machine, and adjust the tension as needed.
  2. Jammed or Dirty Bobbin: If the bobbin is jammed or dirty, it can cause the machine to slow down or stop. Remove the bobbin and clean any debris or lint that may have accumulated, and make sure the bobbin is properly inserted.
  3. Dull or Damaged Needle: A dull or damaged needle can cause the machine to slow down or skip stitches. Replace the needle with a new one and make sure it's the correct size and type for the fabric you're sewing.
  4. Motor Issues: If the motor is failing or overheating, it can cause the machine to slow down or stop. Check the motor and make sure it's properly lubricated and functioning correctly.
  5. Machine Maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance are important to keep your sewing machine running smoothly. Clean the machine and oil it according to the manufacturer's instructions to keep it running at peak performance.
If none of these solutions solve the problem, it may be best to have the machine inspected by a professional to diagnose and repair any more serious issues.

Trying to fix tension in new home 605

Loop and nesting on bottom side is usually top thread tension too loose (no tension) but can be bobbin thread tension issue. Be sure to thread per machine instructions.

See following Singer video... testing top thread tension.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7N4XaIV6ms
Test tension of top thread.
With needle up, presser foot up, and tension select = 4, thread machine. Then make a long slow steady pull of top thread. The thread should advance smoothly through needle eye without snagging from top spool. Now lower foot and make another long slow steady pull of thread. Again it should advance smoothly through the needle eye. Note difference no tension (foot up) and selected tension (foot down).


If no difference in foot up/down tension then something wrong with the tension selector or not threaded properly, consult machine manual.


You can do a similar test of bobbin thread tension. Make a slow steady pull of bobbin thread. It should advance smoothly from bobbin with tension similar to top thread with tension =4. If bobbin tension is similar to top thread foot up, then likely bobbin thread has escaped bobbin tension spring... reload bobbin per machine instructions.

I just bought a Singer Quantum 9960. I really need the needle to be in the UP position *automatically* when I stop sewing. How do I get it to stop with the needle in the up position?

C.NEEDLE UP-DOWN / SLOW BUTTON Pressing this button when the machine is stopped, will change the needle position from down to up or from up to down. While sewing, by pressing this button, machine will sew in slow speed. Pressing this button again, the speed will return.
needle-kaa2eddyud1bdlvevsz1mh4m-2-0.png I did not see in the user manual where this function will occur automatically ... the button needs to be pushed manually

How do you slow down the consew 206rb

You don't say if it is a clutch motor or a servo motor. They answer to your question is yes you can slow it down by either motor (usually a knob or switch) and by pulley. If you don't have a servo motor I would strongly urge you got contact Cobra Steve at leather sewing machine company (google it) Tell him you want one of the smart servo motors with needle position-er (needle up and down automatically)
His smart servo motors are also modified so they work very similar to home sewing machines... with graduated speed based on how hard you press the pedal.

But if you must and want to stick with a clutch motor... you might try this fellow's hack.

My New Home skips stitches. I have cleaned it, changed needles, adjusted the tension and tried different bobbins .


Skipped stitches

1. The needle is not inserted correctly

Remove needle & reinsert needle( flat side towards the back of machine)

2. The needle is damaged

replace with new needle

3. The wrong size needle is being used

Choose a needle to suit the thread & fabric

4. The foot not attached correctly

Check & attach correctly

it's also possible that the machine could be slightly out of time

How do i make the needle stop in the down position instead of the up position? New Home MX3123

You can't - it is only designed to always stop in the up position, then you can manually push the "needle down" button to make the needle go down while you turn a corner. The next model up the 4263 had the "stop down" option. Sorry.

Does the Juki DL-555 sew leather?

ordinary drop feeds are not suited for sewing leather,ideally a needle feed or machine with a walking foot mechanism is best suited.if you are stuck with this machine only,there are a couple of things which may help.on some of the juki ddls there is an adjusting screw and locknut on top and in the middle of the arm of the machine .turn needle by hand wheel to bdc and loosen this screw and turn clockwise slowley! this will raise the presser foot very slightly,so when the feed dog is at tdc it can improve the feeding . spear point needles are reccommended also. one other idea,but you need a qualified mechanic to do this is to alter the feed timimg slightly on the eccentric on the top shaft.as the needle is entering the fabric,slow the timing down so the needle enters the leather just as the material starts to move. hope this helps! cheers kev w 07725903110
