Hi lenamae do you use spray adhesive when you sometimes do embroidery? I've found that this happens and I clean all the parts with a little nail polisher remover on cotton wool and also use an ear bud with remover on it and clean the plate as well.See if this will help. good luck
Sorry to hear of this Lenamae, I had a similar problem, when I took out my bobbin casing there was a small burr on it I took an emory board and filed it smooth and no more problem. Perhaps when a needle broke it made a burr on yours too. that is how I got mine. I hope this helps it sure would be a nice Christmas present from me to you! GL & Happy Holidays *
I'm so sorry to hear that, Lenamae, hope you have it fixed soon...anyway, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and yours!
you have a nice Christmas
THAKSS to every one that answered me I tried every thing you said to try and none worked. but I am not to worry about it today is a special day
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL LOVE YOU CUTE'S
Wishing you all the best for 2009 may it be full of happiness and health for you and your family.:)
Have a Merry Christmas...All will be right with ther machine AFTER the holiday:)
Oh Lena Mae, you little machine is probablly just needing a break - it is saying to you - enough is enough - leave me alone - go do something else - I do try to work on some regular sewing now and again - for some reason that puts the embroidery back into it's mode somewhat better - Hehehe! It is just my way of telling you - that sometimes - our machines what to do other things than just embroidery and yours seems to want a rest. Merry Christmas and I can't wait to see those new Angels from Sonia.
I let it sat all day and then tried it and it snaped the needle right away.I think there is something wrong with the bobin or it is out of line it jammed up and I think that is what did it.
I am not to worry about it to day it is Christmas and I will just enjoy the day.
I love all you cutes and love hearing from you .
Sorry to hear your machine is not working like it should..hope you can get it fixed soon. Merry Christmas..
Oh no, not just before xmas...I hope it gets sorted out soon....Have a very merry xmas!!!
Yesterday I was becoming quite frustrated when my thread kept breaking until I stopped & took a deep breath to calm down & realised that the machine was not threaded properly. Once I rethreaded it, it worked perfectly. Hope your problem is a simple one. Have a Merry Christmas.
Have you tried checking your tension or rethreading? The thread might be catching and bending the needle. Also check the needle alignment. Slowly lower the needle by hand and see if it is catching on anything. I hope that helps.
I have done all this and it will sew for a minute or tqwo and snap the needle will take it to the shop and have it checked.
next week
i was having trouble with mine to had to take it to the shop and there was a thread in it. so try checking that out before you have to take to shop
I would like to think every one for the input but I checked all that and rethreaded it and changed the needle also the bobbin nothing worked so I just turned it off and put every thing away untill after Christmas .not going to worry with it now.
