I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of a Seven brand sewing machine. I picked one up at the goodwill but can't seem to get is sewing a nice stitch. Does anyone know who made them. Thanks

Never heard of this machine. Sometimes things are at Goodwill for a reason. Sorry this happened to you. You might consider taking it to a reputable repair service center to have it checked out. Hopefully the problem is minor.

I have been sewing for about 60 yrs and never heard of it either I just bought it on a fluke to see what I could do with it so I am not out much. Had hubby working on it. He cleaned and oiled it for me.

Deep in the back of my brain, I think it was a house brand name (for Sears or somebody) for a more famous brand.

When my upholstery machine jumped the timing, I check on youtube and they explained what to do, if you know what it is doing wrong check youtube maybe that would help you.

didn't think of that. I will check it out. I think the problem is with the bobbin case. The threads are not locking when the needle goes down. May even be the wrong bobbin case ?

more like the needle isn't fitted correctly. Good luck and have fun getting it sorted

How about a new needle....and make sure it's turned in the correct position. Some eyes need to be sideways...others front to back.
Just a thought.

Also, is it the numerical 7 or the word Seven?

The word Seven
