Why is the thread looping on the underside of my Singer M1150 Sewing Machine fabric?
Thread looping on the underside of the fabric indicates that the upper thread isn't correctly threaded. Rethread the machine, ensuring you raise the presser foot lifter before starting, so the thread properly seats in the tension mechanism and take-up lever.
What to do if my Singer M1150 is skipping stitches?
If your machine is skipping stitches, check that the flat side of the needle top is toward the back of the machine and that the needle is up as far as it can go, then tighten the needle clamp screw. Also, you might be using the wrong needle for the fabric, so use the correct needle style and size. Finally, the needle might be bent, dull, or damaged, so discard it and insert a new one.
Why is my Singer Sewing Machine not feeding fabric?
The machine may not be feeding fabric because the presser foot lifter has not been lowered onto the fabric after threading. Lower the presser foot lifter before starting to sew. Avoid pushing or pulling the fabric as you sew.
What to do if the upper thread keeps breaking on my Singer M1150 Sewing Machine?
If the upper thread keeps breaking, check if the thread path is obstructed, for example, if the thread is caught on the thread spool. Also, the machine might not be threaded correctly: remove the upper thread completely, raise the presser foot lifter, and rethread the machine, ensuring the thread is in the take-up lever. Finally, the upper tension may be too tight, so reduce it.
What to do if bobbin thread is breaking on my Singer M1150 Sewing Machine?
If the bobbin thread is breaking, check that the bobbin is placed correctly in the bobbin holder. The bobbin may also be wound too full or unevenly, and the bobbin thread may not have been correctly placed into the bobbin winding tension disc during the bobbin winding process. Also, the bobbin holder could be dirty, so clean it. Finally, ensure you are using the correct bobbins, specifically SINGER® Class 15 transparent bobbins, and avoid substitutions.
What to do if my Singer M1150 will not run?
If the machine will not run, the bobbin winding spindle may be engaged when you try to sew, so disengage it by pushing it to the left. Also, the power cord and/or foot control may not be plugged in correctly, so make sure they are correctly seated in the machine and power supply. Finally, ensure you are using the correct bobbins, specifically SINGER® Class 15 transparent bobbins, and avoid substitutions.
How to resolve bobbin winding difficulties with my Singer Sewing Machine?
If you're experiencing bobbin winding difficulties, rewind the bobbin, making sure that the thread is placed snuggly in the bobbin winding tension disc. Also, check that the bobbin winding spindle has been fully engaged before starting to wind. Before starting to wind, hold the thread tail (coming out of the bobbin) securely, allow the bobbin to partially fill, then stop to trim the thread tail close to the bobbin.
How to prevent thread bunching at the beginning of a seam with my Singer M1150?
To prevent thread bunching, ensure that both the top thread and the bobbin thread are under the presser foot and toward the back before starting to sew. Also, place fabric under the foot, making sure that the needle comes down into the fabric; lightly hold both thread tails for the first few stitches. A stabilizer may be needed for the technique, so place a stabilizer underneath the fabric.
How to fix a Singer Sewing Machine when the needles are breaking?
If the needles are breaking, it could be due to several reasons. First, the needle may be bent, dull, or damaged, so discard it and insert a new one. Second, you might be using the wrong size needle for the fabric, so insert the appropriate needle for the fabric type. Third, the machine may not be threaded correctly, so rethread it completely. Lastly, avoid pushing or pulling the fabric; allow the machine’s feed teeth to draw the fabric under the presser foot as you guide it.
Why is my Singer M1150 Sewing Machine making a loud noise when sewing?
A loud noise when sewing could be due to the thread not being in the take-up lever. Rethread the machine, making sure the take-up lever is in its highest position, so the thread goes in the eye of the take-up lever. Turn the machine hand wheel toward you to raise the take-up lever to its highest position for threading. Also, the thread path may be obstructed. Check that the thread isn't caught on the thread spool or behind the spool cap.
