Thank you! I'm working on my wife's sewing machine and discovered your channel today. I subscribed!

Glad to find this video as I was ready to throw my Singer 9960 because no matter how I set the tension, it just won't work. Until, I adjusted the screw in the bobbin case. Many thanks!

I appreciate the lessons thank you 👍🏻👌🏽🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🙋🏽🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤❤❤

Most thorough video on tension, and I've binged watch them all.

I like how you demonstrate how something works and then explain how to get it to work correctly. I never fail to learn something as I watch your videos. Thank you...

Thanks for the nice comment!

It worked! The tension adjustments worked and my 40 yr old White sews great again! Thank you for making this video and sharing your knowledge!!

Fantastic instruction. So clear and thorough. I can't wait to get my machine's tension set correctly!

Excellent presentation!! So much valuable information & great video, thank you!!

Wes, thank you for convincing me that I don't need a bobbin tension meter! I have a Bernina 930 Record, Baby Lock Decorator's Choice (both vintage machines), and a new Baby Lock Verve combination sewing/embroidery machine. I also have a BL Imagine serger and Juki 1500 coverstitch machine. Tension, whether bobbin or looper, has been annoying - all except the Imagine serger. Your video is priceless. You explain things clearly and well enough to instill confidence for those of us who don't have easy access to certified brand mechanics. One of my favorite things to do has been to rescue vintage machines and put them back in service when all they really need is a good cleaning. It is appalling how many people fail to care for their machines at home.

Outstanding. Fixed my issue . Thank you so much.

Fantastic explanation of tension settings and troubleshooting the problems I've been having! Thank you for an easy to understand video!

Thanks so much. I cleaned out my bobbin case according to your instructions and it worked out fine problem solved.

Excellent viewing a great example of machine settings and care.

I love your lesson. I have learned so much. My machine is a Singer Scholastic 717 and it needs the 66 bobbin just like say in the lesson. Thank you do much for your videos. Many blessings to you.👏👏👍

loving your videos so far, i'll be rewatching to hit pause & write notes before tackling all my old relics again, thankyou

Please show me how to thread that bobbin

Your teaching is so comprehensible. I do use Emel straight sewing machine, thus I would love to learn the major problems associated with the sewing machine especially problems with the lubricating hook

Thank you so much tension was my problem but I watched the first two videos first and learned how to clean my machine. I had no idea that I could open the bottom to clean it.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge about sewing machine troubleshooting 💞 and thank you for sharing God's Word 💖👍

Thank you from my heart ،،، ❤…..I did watch this video from Netherland and really yesterday I did have a really problem with my new sewing machine .. and really you did save my machine

Thank you for your videos they are very helpful!

Exellent video quality, well articulated, expert knowledge, thank you.

2nd time I have looked at your videos to fix my machine. Thank you!

Your videos are great. Very direct, and simple to comprehend. I have a 60s Japanese Dressmaker. Both springs in my tension assembly are shot. I could use a tip, on which domestic springs would interchange, and an assembly diagram would be super!

I am so glad that you brought up inferior thread. There is no such thing as bargain thread, it constantly breaks, causes sewing issues and wear on your guides. I love love love sewing machines and have over a dozen plus I do long arm quilting and will do minor sewing machine repairs for friends. 9 times out of 10 times when there's a problem with their machine it's lint or thread in the bobbin area or " bargain thread ".

I love sewing machines too

Really appreciate this information, Thank you.

Fantastic video! Thank you for the helpful information!

Wow! NOW I understand tension! Thank you!

Thank you for this thoughtful video. I believe I will replace my tension assembly. For whatever reason it has historically gradually loosened on its own, where I had to keep an eye while sewing or it would go from 4-5 to 0 on its own. Recently I have been having issues but I blamed it on kni fabric and needles. But when I went to sew a medium weight woven I simply could not get the tension right.

Thank you…that was so so helpful with my problem!! The lower tension was the problem :)

Part 2 and I couldn't believe you opened up MY MACHINE!

Thank you for these informative videos. I have a new machine that is driving me crazy because no matter what I have done the bobin tension is too tight. I will apply what I learned from this video to see if I can't correct the issue. Thank you again.🙂

best video i've found on this👍. Just showing how the upper tention works. I realised i never put the thread in the right location I only started practicing on paper. so the stitches were good enough. But then i grabbed some light "active wear" material. and she scrunched up. Still working on it. 😅

OMG!!!! this video is what i need!!!!!!!! Thank you soo much!

I have solved my problem just watching your video once demonstrating tension problems

Nice clear explanation inspires me to carry on and not be put off. Thanks

Very good video! Thank you!!

The utmost Excellent illustrations providing visuals helping immensely and explaining upper, lower tension and bobbins elaborately. You give me confidence to work on my own 3 year old Janome Elna sewing 🧵 machine almost like raising the hood of a car 🚘 and checking fluids. Thanks 😊 I am a new Subbie!

Thank you SO MUCH you saved my sewing machine

Thank you! I'm learning! 😊 ❤

Amazing work - thank you 🙏

Thanks for sharing your a great person,,god bless you

Extremely informative video, thank you.

Thank you for your videos!!!

Excellent explanation expecting more videos👍

Terrific! Thank you!

Great information thank you

Thanksto your video I just realized my issue is on the bobbing stopper from the right side, I just noticed is broken!

Great video! Thank you for helping me understand and correct the tension on my machine😅 I thought my machine was done. 1:35

Thanks again great videos

This was a great article

I will be getting a Singer 600 built into a cabinet. It's from my wife's grandma who passed 20 years ago. Two of the feet are supposedly broken and the machine will need a tune up. I am new to sewing and have dreams of tailoring some ill fitting clothes and making backpacking gear, backpacking quilts, maybe even converting a down bag to quilt. I am reasonably mechanically inclined and fix a lot of stuff, bicycles, and house hold machines. The portable machines look good. I have to think about it. I hope the 600 will be good for the family. I want to grow with it. I know just like bike maintenance I will be doing regular lubrication. I live in Germany by the way but I was born in the 🇺🇸

Like magic lol 😂 I hate all those situations. So I really appreciate this video

Thank-you

Thanks!

God bless you!

excellent

Love this chanel 👍🇸🇬

Amazing.

As a person that knows very little about sewing but had a problem with the stitches not being right - this helped me diagnose and fix my problem - aaanndd laid the groundwork for how things actually work so that I might be able to do so again in the future. Thanks!

5:52 My machine (10 yr old Janome hd3000) decided in the middle of a project to stop tensioning the top thread. Adjustment of the wheel, re-threading, replacing the needle, changing the thread does nothing. Yes, it's in time. Watching this to try and solve the issue....

Did it work out?

Good afternoon. Thanks for everything you teach in your videos. I have a question I have a touch and Sew singer 628. The bulb is burn I want to replace it can you help me how to do it please. Thank you .

You Are the best

Thank you so much for sharing all those tips! I liked to see a Singer Vintage sewing machine. Blessings

I'm having a heck of a time trying to get a consistent tension before and or after the start of a sew. Everywhere seems smooth except the tension spring section? The machine will randomly snag and tangle causing the threads to break no mater the thread strength and size. I notice it's fraying as it goes through too..... It's a pfaff expression 3.0.

I just subscribed to your channel. I don't do that lightly so thanks for all your are doing. My question are there specialized tools that are needed to work on industrial machines?. We have consew 206 rb at the shop that I would like to keep happy with your help. Thanks for what your are doing and thanks for your Navy service. All the best neal sw fla

I am so grateful that my 80s Singer does not have to have the bobbin removed to be wound. Winds it right in the case. And the bobbin can only go in one way! PTL when I bought this so many years ago.

Its not very hard to wind a bobbin. But definitely a cool feature

Will make a video on installing a new tension on singer 329K please and thank you

Today my machine suddenly lost tension. It remained set at 4 but the upper thread acted like 0 tension on it. Threading this machine is like the newer machine you showed. The tension discs are hidden so I can't see if maybe somehow the thread is not going through them. It may be just a coincidence but earlier in the day the thing that disconnects the needle for winding a bobbin failed to disconnect the needle. I sewed for over an hour after that with little problems except that the fabric I was sewing was very stretchy and delicate and when I let the needle get to close to the edge a few times the fabric got eaten by the plate so maybe that contributed to the tension problem.

I have seen your videos and learned a lot today. I have an Old Singer 7105 and the arm on the right side is not functioning properly. I have to “unskrew” when I want to fill the undertread and screw it back when I want to see. Now when I pres the foot panel it won’t sew. Do you have a video about that? Nina Riis Lundstrøm from Denmark.

Awesome video! Thanks. I have no experience and have a Singer 252. What's the reason for the upper thread getting wound in the bobbin spool and seizing it? I fiddled with so many things through trial and error and managed to fix the issue, but I have no idea what the solution was. I'm looking at my current stich and the bottom thread is a straight line, so bottom tension is too tight. My upper is set on 3.5. Thx.

Thanks for this video, I have a Singer 5805C which I left in my Mom in law for almost 10 years, now as I'm about to use it I found out that the Bobbin winder is gone, maybe someone tried to repair the unit but forgot to put al things up. Do you happen to have an extra or part lying around that you can sell? I tried searching online but it's out of stock. Regards, Junie

My timing is good in the sense that the bobbin thread is picked as the needle and hook meet. But when I put case back on (for at least the 30th time) to sew a test. Needle follows the stitch path but no thread is being used. I have worked on the PfaFf 919-1 for three days and now have it working worse than it did when my friend brought it to me because it skipping stitches. Can you advice me. I have so many videos and feel like I am following instructions but I must be missing something

Yes

Do you help me to reassemble Kenmore machine model 1755 upper thread tension control

I have the new home that's right behind you The turquoise 1.

is the takeup lever and needle position fixed, or is that something that can get out of time as well???

I have a question about the on off switch on a vintage kenmore. I have a zigzag Kenmore model 231. It has the power switch on base of right corner. It doesn’t stop the current from flowing …it’s on all the time that it’s plugged in. Can that be fixed or replaced?

I hope you make a video for Singer 878

What thread would you suggest? Coats and Clark? (I have bought this thread from fabric store and from Walmart.)

What class bobbin does an old Elna Supermatic use (with the drop in cams wheels) The bobbin looks like a type 15 on one side but rounded on the other.

What parts do you order for the new home machine?

On all singer machines I've seen, the thumbscrew that holds the needle in, has a kerf from front to back (it is between the thumb and index finger when you grab the screw to tighten or loosen it). Why is it there ? Many thanks for the video.

I have an old Sear Kenmore zigzag automatic from around early 1950 that was my late Mother can I buy new disks and spring for the tension

Hello, I have a problem with the upper tension of this same Singer havy duty machine. What happens is that no matter what the tension is, the point is always loose. How can I fix it if the tensor is it closed on top ??? Obrigada.Thanks.

How can i replace the tenstion assembly on singer 2517 model? Thread take up spring is broken. Thank you

I have a brother Festival 461…I hear a cracking sound…please help…I love your videos thanks

I’ve had my machine was cleaned last weekend. Would you. Know anything about Viking designer 1. My sensor on bobbin not letting me know when it’s near empty anymore.

Hi My name is Pat Im from the East Midlands Leicestershire UK I have been watching youre five repare vids .I have fixed three of my machines but the last one is making me scratch my head .,I have tried everything and I cant get the tension right .could it possibly. be that the needle is wrong,I would value youre imput ,if you could give it . Many Thanks for all youre help..

I have a metal bobbin case. Can I use a plastic bobbin?

My Singer Quantum 9910 zig-zag is puckering on top, and skipping stitches (going to a straight stitch). The bobbin thread is pulling upper thread through to the bottom. I have never replaced the bobbin holder - should I replace it or try to adjust the tension? My last major project was my daughter's wedding gown - heavy sequin fabric. My son (a fiber optic splicer / and mechanic/machinist took the machine apart and cleaned it and oiled it) but my stitching is still not good. My specialty stitches don't work properly either. HELP!

Hello I have a singer talent sewing machine and i am open to my whole machine and then one scrrew has dropped to the machine but now I can't adjust this actually I can't find that the screw are which place at replaced so please send me a video to the tension's all parts replaced

Hi, I have a 4423. My thread snags on the bobbin holder and bunches up I can't seem to figure out why it catches pls help.

Husqvarna viking E20...just cleaned and lubricated...bobbin tension set correctly based on this video...upper thread tension set to 9 (max)...YET bottom thread laying loose on bottom of fabric...tension is so high it is shortening stitch length and deforming top stitch...not sure what to do since top tension is on max...thoughts anybody...can't afford to send this in for repair and our one and only Husqvarna authorized repair takes forever and seems to have problems fixing things...need help...thanks so much!!!!!

My top thread is getting physically stuck in the bobbin area. It goes down and around the bobbin case then gets stuck. The top thread doesn't come back up and out. It keeps doing that and then the needle gets stuck down and doesn't come back up out of the fabric. I don't know what causes this. I checked the timing after this happened a few times. It was off a bit. I fixed the timing. However, the top thread is still getting stuck when it is supposed to come back up and out of the bobbin area. Do you know why this is? Have a video on it? I have a Singer Talent

I have a White machine, model 1510. My top thread keeps breaking, please help!

Hope you cover the thread cutter issues.

My Heavy Duty Singer is making nests underneath but it's on the highest tension, no. 9. How do i adjust it?

Couldn't figure out which video is part 1 or part 2 of this video. Please tell me which of your videos goes with this video

I have a janome memory craft 9700 with tension issues. The top thread isn't holding the bottom thread. No matter what number I set the tension to it doesn't make perfect stitches. I've made sure the needle is new, the thread is new, it is threaded correctly.

Hello, I cleaned, oiled, and set timing (I think) correctly. However, my Elna 7000 is just not stitching at all. Plz help!
