Why is the upper thread breaking on my Singer Sewing Machine?
- W
  wmcbrideAug 18, 2025
  If the upper thread of your Singer Sewing Machine keeps breaking, it might be because the thread path is obstructed. Check if the thread is caught on the thread spool or behind the spool pin or spool cap. Also, the machine might not be threaded correctly, so remove the upper thread completely, raise the presser foot lifter, and rethread the machine, ensuring the thread is in the take-up lever. The upper tension could also be too tight, so try reducing it.

What to do if my Singer Sewing Machine is not feeding fabric?

  Linda WheelerAug 20, 2025
  If your Singer Sewing Machine is not feeding fabric, make sure the presser foot lifter has been lowered onto the fabric after threading. Don't push or pull the fabric as you sew. Also, if the stitch length is set at zero, increase the stitch length setting.

Why is the bobbin thread breaking on my Singer SUPERA?
- T
  thomasperryAug 23, 2025
  If the bobbin thread is breaking in your Singer Sewing Machine, check that the bobbin is placed correctly in the bobbin holder. The bobbin may have been wound too full or unevenly because the bobbin thread may not have been correctly placed into the bobbin winding tension disc during the bobbin winding process. Also, there might be dirt or lint in the bobbin holder, so clean it. Finally, ensure you're using the correct bobbins, specifically SINGER® Class 15 transparent bobbins.

Why is my Singer SUPERA skipping stitches?

  Mallory JenkinsAug 26, 2025
  If your Singer Sewing Machine is skipping stitches, check that the flat side of the needle top is toward the back of the machine and the needle is up as far as it can go, then tighten the needle clamp screw. Use the correct needle style and size for your fabric. Discard the needle and insert a new needle if it is bent, dull, or damaged.

How to fix thread loops on the underside of fabric with a Singer Sewing Machine?
- A
  Alexander MorganAug 28, 2025
  Thread loops on the underside of the fabric usually means that the upper thread wasn't correctly threaded. To fix this, rethread the Singer Sewing Machine, remembering to raise the presser foot lifter before you start. This makes sure the thread sits properly in the tension mechanism and take-up lever.

  Andre PowellAug 31, 2025
  If your Singer Sewing Machine needle is breaking, discard the needle and insert a new one if the current one is bent, dull, or damaged. Ensure you're using the correct size needle for the fabric. Rethread the machine completely. Avoid pushing or pulling the fabric; instead, let the machine's feed teeth draw the fabric under the presser foot as you guide it.

Why is my Singer Sewing Machine fabric puckering?
- Y
  ygonzalesSep 2, 2025
  If you're experiencing fabric puckering with your Singer Sewing Machine, it could be due to several reasons. The top thread might be too tight, so try reducing the top thread tension. Alternatively, the stitch length might be set too short, so increase the stitch length setting. Finally, ensure you're using the correct needle style and size for your fabric.

  Steven CookSep 4, 2025
  If your Singer Sewing Machine will not run, disengage the bobbin winding spindle by pushing it to the left. Make sure the power cord and foot control are correctly seated in the machine and power supply. Ensure you are using the correct bobbins that are the same style as those that came with the machine (SINGER® Class 15 transparent bobbins).

How to troubleshoot bobbin winding difficulties with my Singer Sewing Machine?
- F
  fordjanetSep 7, 2025
  If you're experiencing bobbin winding difficulties with your Singer Sewing Machine, rewind the bobbin, making sure that the thread is placed snuggly in the bobbin winding tension disc. 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.

What to do if fabric is tunneling under stitches with my Singer SUPERA?
- T
  Tiffany HowardSep 9, 2025
  If the fabric is tunneling under stitches with your Singer Sewing Machine, add a fabric stabilizer underneath the fabric to help keep the stitches from tunneling in together, forming a puckered ridge in the fabric. This is because the fabric is not properly stabilized for the density of the stitches (for example, satin stitch applique).
