No, there is no need to do this as a periodic maintenance check. It can be a last resort if you have done everything you can to fix a tension issue. I would do it if I thought thread was stuck in the tension assembly or if the tension assembly was damaged.
hello very beautiful video please kindly film how to operate the sewing machine electric foot pedal how its used to sew please kindly reply back ok?thank you very much 😊
Sailrite recommends both Super Lube and a sewing machine oil. The Super Lube is recommended for long storage of your machine, and sewing machine oil is recommended for daily oiling of your machine. The sewing machine oil is used for more frequent oling of your machine. If you have a self-oiling machine then you would also use sewing machine oil not a lubricant. The Singer Touch and Sew 603 is not a self-oiling machine, so the instructions in the manual is for the user to use a lubricant (which lasts longer than sewing machine oil) on the large metal gears and sewing machine oil on the small moving parts that require daily oiling or oiling after each sewing project. The lubricant would also be more likely to stain your fabric if you used it to oil the take-up lever bar or the bobbin housing case..
@@md2992 you’re right. I looked that up on their site right after I made that comment. I’d gotten that idea from them years ago and have used it on all my machines since, but I’ll switch back to oil now. Thanks.
Yes, they are the same. I have another video using Tri-Flow on another machine. They are both synthetic grease and either one can be used to lubricate your sewing machine's metal gears.
My bobbin ran out a few inches from the end of a project and this video was so easy and helpful! Thank you! I and my project are greatly appreciative. 😊
Place the thread between the 1st and 2nd disc. If you are sewing with a twin needle, you would place the first thread between discs 2 and 3 and the second thread between discs 1 and 2.
The problem could be something as simple as thread caught in the winder preventing it from spinning.. You can remove the cover to check for thread that might be attached to the assembly. If You don't see thread, you may have to remove the bobbin winder assembly. I have pasted a RU-vid video for you to view. If you decide to replace the assembly, make sure you take photos of the assembly before you begin. You can find parts for this machine on SewingMachindPlus.com I hope this helps. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P2ROdLM5zmE.html
Thank you. At 3:01 and 3:42, you can see which side the discs face, the raised side. If your discs do not have a raised side, then either side will work.
Thank you for this. I got this machine at a garage sale and my tension dial isn't tight, it keeps drifting as I sew. I'm going to take it apart (again) and use your tutorial (again) and make this thing work. You rock the Catskills, thank you so much!!!!!!!
This is so very AWSOME!!YOU ROCK! I inherited my 603 when my mother in law passed. I just love her. This helps me understand the machine. Still learning it. ❤
Without seeing the machine, I can't tell you if it's in working condition. I bought my machine from the goodwill, but I was able to test it before purchasing. These are wonderful machines that produce beautiful stitches.
Good question. Releasing the wheel prevents the take-up lever from moving, so the needle can't move up and down while the bobbin is winding. I had probably released it before I filmed the video.
@@md2992 So if my needle is still moving up and down when I wind a bobbin, I have not loosened it enough? I probably need to get the 500a professionally cleaned as I had trouble loosening the wheel.
Thank you so much for your video 😊 I’m so glad I found it because I was having trouble with my tension, just a question is it normal that when I lift my presser foot the tension on my discs stays the same? I’ve inside and there’s no metal piece connecting the presser foot to the discs, do you have info about this? Thanks 🙏🏼
When you raise and lower your presser foot your tension and discs should not move. The unit that houses the tension disc's will push in when you lower the presser foot and push out when you raise the presser foot but should not affect the tension. Just make sure the tension dial is screwed in correctly; otherwise, the discs will move.
Great tutorial, do you know how the disassembly and reassembly corrected your problem? Was it simply the cleaning process that improved the function? Thank you again, great video
Thank you! The machine actually needed to be disassembled and reassembled. The stop washer was in the 12 o'clock position instead of the 6 o'clock position. As a result, the tension dial would turn from 0-4 instead of 0-9. I was able to adjust the tension dial to the correct tension I needed, and I didn't need to pull out 6-8 inches of thread to begin sewing.
Thank you so much! I have loved my workhorse touch and sew 603 E for years. It was my mother's, and has never failed me, but suddenly I had to set the tension at 9 for everything. This let me disassemble and reassemble the thread tension assembly and get back on track. Awesome video.
Thank you so much for this video or I would have had to contact Brother on how to install it! I bought a used Innovis 4000D and I was told on a forum I really needed this. I got it a few days ago, with no instructions.
Just an FYI Super Lube should not be used on polycarbonate or polystyrene plastics or natural rubber. Their website has a compatibility list for plastics and elastomers. You're not likely to find polystyrene or polycarbonate plastics inside a sewing machine though.
The Singer 603 has all metal gears not plastic. The Owner's manual for this machine clearly states that a lubricant NOT sewing machine oil is needed to lubricate the gears.
Excellent "how-to" communication, a rare quality in this day and age. Am trying to get my aged mother's Singer 603E going again. After going online to find and replace the broken bobbin case with a used one (even used parts are very pricey on this older machine as Singer no longer makes them) I noticed how loose the thread tension assembly was. I will try this!
M D No, there is no difference between the two. I ordered Triflow online, and the next day I saw that Ace hardware sold Super Lube. I decided to try both on different machines. There is no noticeable difference.
Thank you .you been so much help we have singer 500a. And it had 1 bobbin.and 2 needle so that try get it my grategrandma and we have my grandma white rotary trudle wich was her grandmother. And white modle43 1 electric sewing machines. It was my mom grat grandma. But now singer 500a I try find light balubs . Thank you for the info. Your video are so much help approached
Thank you for the straight forward demo. I had a broken tension assembly and have been waiting for 2 month for repair tech. Saw this video. fixed the assembly my self. It sews like a dream. this was mom and my original machine. Still sews beautifully. circa 1964ish.
This usually happens when the top thread is incorrectly threaded or the bobbin is not placed in the case properly. Also make sure your needle is not bent.
