Help Bobbin thread is jamming on Singer Ispiration 4228
Okay, I threaded the bobbin just fine. I even managed to raise the thred, I
just can't seem to follow their directions to get the bobbin threrd to "flow" it keeps breaking. I know it's not a tension issue. I'm not stairing at the book right now but I believe it says to go under slot 1 and over slot 2 then pull thread tail to back; which I did 100x. Apparently I'm slow or something (of course my last machine was a late 70's model). Please someone walk me through this, I even tried Youtube and found a video that would have been helpful had it not had bad lighting. (Please excuse typos my keys are sticking). -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutcrafting.com/gro...xtiles.sewing/ More information at http://www.talkaboutcrafting.com/faq.html |

Please someone walk me through this, I even tried Youtube and found a video that would have been helpful had it not had bad lighting. (Please excuse typos my keys are sticking). I am not familiar with your particular machine, and I can't find an online manual or threading diagram, but my standard advice applies: Completely unthread the machine, both bobbin and needle path. REPLACE the needle with a brand new one, being sure to insert it properly (refer to your manual). Using the instructions in the manual, thoroughly clean the entire machine, and oil all designated spots. Clean the thread path, using lint free heavy thread or cord, especially between the tension disks. Remove the bobbin, and if possible the bobbin case and use a soft brush to clean all areas of the case, lubricate if the manual instructs you to do so, re-insert the bobbin case. With the presser foot UP, thread the needle path, including the needle. Place a properly wound bobbin in the bobbin case, thread the bobbin path (and once again, have the manual open to the threading diagram and be sure you are catching the thread under/over EVERY spring/slot/opening), leaving a 6" tail. Holding the end of the *needle* thread in your left hand, and with your right hand manually turn the flywheel (again be sure you are turning it in the right direction, refer to your manual) a full turn, until the needle goes down, picks up the bobbin thread, and brings it up. Place BOTH threads between the toes and to the rear of the presser foot, being sure you leave at least 6". Place your fabric under the presser foot, lower the foot. Holding the thread tails firmly with your *left* hand, slowly start to sew. If none of this works, you may have to take your machine back to the shop where you bought it for service and lessons/instructions. Beverly, saving this to a text file.... |

Are you using the bobbins that came with the machine? I can't imagine how you could get it in wrong but if it is difficult to insert, it should just fall in. Then perhaps turning the other way around. -- Ron Anderson A1 Sewing Machine 18 Dingman Rd Sand Lake, NY 12153 http://www.a1sewingmachine.com |

But I looked at the Singer website and found that they have an updated instruction manual available to be downloaded. Maybe the directions you have are lacking in some way. Here's the product information from the Singer website: The new SINGER® Inspiration™ is simply the easiest. • 28 built-in stitch patterns • SureFit Bobbin™ - only one way to insert the bobbin. The right way! • NoError Threading™ - You can't get it wrong. • Fully automatic one-step buttonhole • StayBright LED Light™ - long lasting illumination. Download updated 4228 instruction manual. and here's the link to the updated manual: http://www.singerco.com/pdf/4228_4220_030707.pdf Judie |
