the bobbin should turn further to throw off the loop from the top thread around the bobbin. when it does the anti clocks movement it should go further. it must loop around the shuttle. between the shuttle and shuttle carrier.
I know its an old thread but, first thing is if you are not using the wax pot , then use bonded thread, also use same size thread for top and bottom, check the twist on the thread left or right, I can`t remember now but in the bobbin you can use left or right twist thread, but for the top you can only use a certain twist, I can`t remember now, I think your bobbin was up side down as well, check the thread is not to thick, for the groove of the needle,check your thread goes in the groove not to thin or thick for it, it should fit snug same as the eye of the needle ,not to loose or to tight, Hold your bobbing case pull about 7 inch of thread, wrap the beginning of the thread around your finger `now let the bobbing case dangle , give a quick jerk throwing your finger down about 2 inches and then back up in one motion, If the bobbing case drops all the way to the floor the tension is to lose , if it don`t drop at all the tension is to tight, if it drops about 3 inch and stops its good, check for bad rough area`s on the bobbin case and underneath the plate that covers the bobbin where the needle passes through, Place half a drop of oil underneath bobbin If its snapping thread the tension usually to tight ,or the thread its either to thick and jamming and getting caught, or thread is untwisting as it goes around if wrong twist or not waxed,or something is snagging is due to roughness, If you buy non genuine bobbins a lot from china do not fit correctly in the bobbin case you have to buy the China bobbin case as well , I think thread runs in between the gap , I am sure the timing may be out, I am sure one of the teeth on the cog has to be one tooth forwards than the other one, unless I am thinking of another patcher model, check for worn parts , like the driver pinion , you will have to remove it to have a good look , underneath it , And check all pathways the thread runs along is smooth and clean, and the thread is running of the spool smoothly , not to easy and not to stiff,
I had the same problem with my machine and it was the timing. The shuttle carrier has to be placed in the exact correct position and then the shuttle also has to be in the correct position. The wheel has to be turned to get the shuttle carrier in the right position. I was told the wheel had to be in the twelve o'clock position and then insert the shuttle in the correct position in the carrier then I was told by another that the wheel had to be in the nine o'clock position and put the carrier in facing just before the claw to pick up thread and that did the trick. It then picked up the thread from the needle at the exact position and both exited from the bobbin together and that worked fine.
Watched your two videos today. In Part 1 at the 10:11 and 10:52 time stamps you can see that the bobbin turns clockwise when you pull on the thread. In Part 2 at the 1:20 time stamp you can see that the bobbin turns counterclockwise. I believe the bobbin should be turning counterclockwise as the bobbin thread is pulled off.
hello.. tell me the arm with 10 teeth not the smallest but the longest.. I would like to know how long it measures... me it is almost 32 cm.. on the internet those for sale only measure 19 cm ..thank you
Un cordial saludo Me gusta mucho el video Es muy instructivo Mi nombre es Humberto pena Y le saludo desde el Salvador Tengo una máquina dé ésas Y me gustaría saber si puedo conseguir Repuestos para ésa máquina
Mine had the same issue and found out there was a broken part of a needle in the needle chuck that extended the needle too far into the shuttle. Using the correct needle I had great results right away.
I have the same problem and I'm struggling. I thing that the top thread, when it is caught by the bobbin carrier should slide under the bobbin carrier and loop around the bobbin and bobbin carrier. What is happening on your machine and mine is that the thread is being caught by the bobbin carrier but then trying to loop under the geared piece that carries the hooked bobbin carrier. Anyone who knows how to cure this I would be very grateful.
the stitch length is located on back of foot, the square piece and thumb skrew, with foot up you slide the square down as far as it will go for longest stitch. and tighten thumb skrew. if you have more question. look up the part in parts manual it will show the three pieces that go to length adjustment.
I solved the problem, very similar to yours. turn the needle a little bit, clockwise. or towards the front that the eye of the needle is not straight, so that the thread can make the loop a little wider and the bobbin grasps the needle thread. Contact me if you still haven't solved that problem.
Hi Carolyn, I just got a 29-4 last month and I'm learning the machine. But I ran out of bobbin thread, can you tell me how do you wind the bobbin? And where did you find the manual for the machine from? Can you tell me which wheels are your belts on, top and bottom wheels? My belt broke and I don't remember which wheels it go on. Thanks.
her problem is that gear, the three tooth gear is the proper gear. The five tooth won't work, plus the idler gear is worn out. #1 is the drive gear (3 tooth) some guy back east had the 5 tooth made in china years ago. I bought one they were $88 each. my machine would not even turn over using the 5 t gear, then I work it and got the machine turning. Only then I could why the gear bind up. You hear saying she can feel the gears >> there binding and causing major play at the bobbin, the bobbin is in correct for a 29-4 these are not 29k's. if put in as Robert mentions it again will not turn over it has to be as shown. it is the WRONG gear. I called the seller and got the "your the only one complaining " Thats Bullshit I did get mine to work, only by hand, slowly. peddling is to fast it will do the same as she shows. all this took place 5 yrs ago
