WOW I have never been more thankful for a KZread video. I have been heartbroken over my “broken” sewing machine for months, trying a bunch of troubleshooting to see if I could fix it. Nothing was working and I was getting so frustrated and disheartened. Tonight I FINALLY sewed for the first time in so long and I am so happy. I owe it all to you!! Thank you!!💗💗💗

I can’t thank you enough for your video! I had exactly the same problem & spent two days trying to suss it out unsuccessfully. My Singer was going to be thrown from my first floor window if I hadn’t come across you!😉

Thank you so much for this help! I was so upset I couldn’t sew bc of this problem and the internet just kept telling me to re-thread and fix my bobbin but nothing was working! I never would have thought to fix it like this without your video and it saved my sanity. 🙌

I was ready to throw the whole machine out the window, what a stupidly simple issue/fix haha Thank you for sharing!

You sir, are an absolute Godsend!!!! I have been through the pains of taking the machine apart in the past to fix the timing and that process is ridiculous. Thank you for this!!!!!

Adding my thanks for this! You solved my problem indirectly, my bobbin hook was already in line but by dismantling as you did, I discovered the bobbin holder was loose (and I mis-threaded the top thread!). Now it sews without the bobbing knocking and jamming.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this! I searched for hours trying to find a solution and as soon as you started to explain how you got into your situation, I was like Bingo! Same! Damn jean material:p. You're right about it taking a little finessing to get the needle to hit the opening at just the right time. It took me several tries, so don't give up ya'll! Going to subscribe right now!

Thank you! Your description and walk through helped me fix my machine I would have never figured out it was the bobbin! I don’t have to buy a new one! I was sewing thick cloth with batting which got stuck although my needle never broke. Very helpful

Thank you! This was so insightful. It is amazing that you shared this here!

Thank you so much! It appeared as though it was catching the thread but it was not doing it consistently. I just held the wheel and pulled the bobbin wheel for a bit. It wasn’t moving as much as it needed to so I moved the needle position in the direction it needed to go and it worked!!! I just have to be more careful when sewing heavy duty materials. It started when my needle got stuck in the seam and I forced the turning wheel. Never again!

Thank you. I saw that my needle was bent so I replaced it.

I can't believe it!!!!!!!! After 2 days about 8 hours later it's fixed! Thank you. You explained it so well. I sure many people will find this useful. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Thank you for this! I checked out the bobbin area and found a lot of thread dust as well. Cleaning that and adjusting the ring/timing as you had shown solved my issue! Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for your video. My daughter and son are both making or modifying clothes for their upcoming "Anything but Black and White Masquerade" and our machine jammed. This seems to have fixed it, so you saved our week!

My husband and I both appreciate your video. It was really helpful to hear the background info about what happened in your situation - it was exactly like mine. You explain things clearly and succinctly. We trusted you and followed your advice and now the machine is sewing perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

That's what I did. Busted a needle and now I will see what I can do using your advice. Thank You !!

THANK YOU SO MUCH you are the only person who has posted an actual solution for my issue. I could not adjust the timing gear at all and it turns out i had the belt slip like you said.

Thank you bud, you're a legend ! thought i had bought a lemon after it jammed and kept doing so after i bought it as a "as new condition from Amazon"

Very thankful for the video and I want to share two tips when removing the plate just "poke" the Right Top Corner and it tilt's up & the screws can be removed with the edge of a metal bobbin or a penny even with the machine needle . Thanks again for this video.

So incredibly grateful for this video! I have the exact same model and was experiencing this problem and looked up a ton of videos with no solution! I finally got so fed up with this machine i bought a new model today and as i was looking up videos on my new singer M1000 i stumbled across your video and i cant wait to hop back on my old one and see if i can get it working again!!! 🎉 ❤

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You’re a life saver. I was so sad my machine kept locking up and this fixed it!

Thank you so much! This was helpful. Especially when we didn't remember what it looked like before talking it apart to get ribon that got stuck in there so we looked back to see what it's supost to look like.

Thank you so much for this video. Because of you I can continue sewing again without having to purchase a new machine. Great that you shared your knowledge.❤❤❤😊

Got a machine from a "friend". I guess she couldn't saw with it for the same reason. I'm also more of a mechanic than a sawing guru... and I took it apart and found to the same issue. Fixed now!!! ❤Yaaaay! Thank you!

I freaking did buy a new machine of this, I had the cheapest brother machine and bought the Singer heavy duty 4452, and again same shit, after using it three times , so, I'm soooooooo grateful for your video, thank you!!

Yes and another reason it makes that wad of thread could be the take - up lever has become unthreaded. It is hard to see in these newer models when that happens because the lever is almost hidden. On my old machine (a Singer 860 that is over 40 years old) it sits out more to the front of the machine and I have to say I rarely ever have that issue with it!. These newer machines are certainly more prone to unthreading there (recently purchased a Singer heavy duty model). I was quite shocked that the rotating bobbin case was moved enough to cause the timing problem. Certainly will watch for this problem for the future (especially on my new one) and thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Awesome!!! Hopefully this fixes it, I f’d up my wife’s machine trying to sew leather and same thing is happening. YOU’RE A GENIUS!

Thank you! My husband watched the video and fixed my problem. What helped the most was you showing how it’s supposed to look and work. 😅

I had the same thing happen with the needle jamming in my Singer 4452. After taking the plate off, I noticed a small metal bracket in the lower right corner that was catching threads. I unscrewed the bracket and was able to make a slight adjustment because the holes were ever-so-slightly slotted. After making that adjustment, the machine now works perfectly.

You are an absolute legend sir. Many thanks!

You have just saved my sanity! It would have been at least 3 hours of driving, 2 weeks of delay and a large bill without this! One screw unscrewed, lifted the foot plate off and a quick shove with a screwdriver.. sorted 🎉❤🎉❤🎉 Thank you , thank you, thank you!!!

Thanks for the video. The belt you're referring to, saying it's not really tight and you can make it slip, is really a belt with teeth and you have to bump it hard enough to skip over a tooth. It's not just a simple slip. I have a Singer 4423 as well.

So many reasons why I will,not ever purchase a Singer Sewing Machine made in the last 50+ years! I have several vintage/antique Singer machines and they all sew perfectly with no problems and easy fixes.

Thank you so much! Such a helpful video!

I had the same issue within the first few hours with my 4411,what you did to fix it won't last and it will happen again when another birds nest occurs. The calibration of the cam is off. Ultimately fixing it requires you to flip the machine over and remove the 3 large screws under the cam holding the cover on, your going to see a rod and gears. On the main gear there are 2 allen screws that you need to loosen then drop the needle all the way down and spin the cam around until the hook is really close to the needle like 3mm away, then tighten the allen screws good to hold that. (your going to flip the machine back and forth a few times to see and do this with the bobbin holder out) It seems like the more jams people have with these the more those screws loosen until calibration is thrown completely off (like mine). I almost returned it but it was working good after this. Guess this is what the shops mainly deal with and I think the screws are not as tight as they should be from the factory. Also this is where your going to eventually re-grease the main gear someday.

The Video was horrible advice, by doing this I sheared part of a gear and might now need a replacement gear, and to take apart the mechanism even more. What you wrote was right, the machine should be retimed by opening it up, don't use force! We have the 4423, the belt has teeth, so unless there are already screws loose, this might damage the machine. P.S. We fixed the gears teeth with a hot screwdriver roughly and then heated it directly and turned it though the other gear to smooth it out, that actually worked. Taking the timing belt of it's gear realining everything and putting it back on, fixed the whole machine.

Thank you sir. 💪🏽 appreciate the video

I'm having the same problem on a BRAND NEW machine!!! Sewed one seam with no trouble at all. Second side, everything jammed up! I'll try your method and hopefully it helps!

It was your showing what was suppose to be actually happening and the window thingy being off in the timing... so don't ask me how lol but after a few adjustments of the metal circle being readjusted and my 3rd needle... and it going up & down smoothly and clear of hitting the inner circles and bending... I saw that the thread was picking up on that little arm and wrapping around... like it's suppose to... then I closed everything up... had my scrap fabric to test it and WAAAALAAAAH...

Simple fix if it’s a clocking issue!

I thought I had a similar issue, but in my case, a "bird's nest" had lifted the black plastic bobbin holder out of place and all I needed to do was to loosen the screws holding it in place, re-seat it and it worked fine again.

Omg thank you so much !!!!
