Brother sewing machine. Model VX-1120. Repair, lubricating, belt. 

Hey mate, if you slide the bobbin winder right, that disengages the main mechanism, your machine wasn't stuck or broken. When the bobbin is full wound, it pushes itself to the left to re-engage the main mechanism.

Oh my gosh! My friend gave me her old swing machine. I was having the same problem so I started following this. Then I started reading the comments. It's "fixed"now. We'll, now I know how to open up my sewing machine too, I guess.

Great, I learned how to loosen the motor to get a new lug belt on an 80's Brother VX-940 and many other troubleshooting tips! Hang on to those oldies that were made of all metal, often in Japan. These video help, even if you don't see your exact model. Thanks for engineers who like to take apart everything and figure it out for us!

This I'd exactly what I needed to have the confidence to look in my own machine (same model). The belt slipped off the bottom gear put it back on. Oiled well, all os working great, again!

Never turn the hand wheel away from you. Always TOWARD you.

Try disengaging the bobbin winder before needlessly dismantling the machine. That machine isn't supposed to work when the bobbin winder is in that position, which you could clearly see turning at the start. Also you are turning the wheel in wrong direction. Always turn ot anticlockwise.

I was laughing my ass off! He had his hand/fingers right on the lever but never pushed it to the right or left. Belt side of machine on top there are three items coming up out of the top of the machine. The tallest (middle) object is a lever (bobbin winder) and the bobbin winder base, you must move it right and left to actuate the so the needle will go up and down. Machine was not broken and did NOT need any lubricant. I pulled one of these out of the garbage pile to make a guitar pickup winder using only the motor and belt. Thanks for the entertainment.

Thank you for sharing. I just fixed mine by watching your video.

Great trouble shooting and useful video. Thanks

U are an angel... U just saved me thousands of dollars... I love u.... God bless u... Omg

Thank you so much. 11:39 had the solution that worked for me

Good vid. That is how you learn.

The clutch is not disengaged. In some machines you have to tighten the belt pulley and in others you have to disengage the bobbin winder to engage the shaft rotation

This literally just fixed my machine

yep bobbin winder flip it to the left they both run off the same motor

😂 disengage the bobbin winder no need to tear it apart. Also never turn the hand wheel away from you and always toward you.

do you know why humming noise comes singer 1306 just after switching on

Thanks for a preview of what I'm about to do with my machine. Except my bobbin winder is in the left position but still not sewing. It sounds like a gear is grinding.

The reason it would spin without moving everything else was because the bobber filler was in the locked mode to fill

3-1 oil anywhere metal touches metal. only a coupl drops or you will have a mess

Sir you never turn the handwheel away from you. You always turn the handwheel towards you .

What cause the sewing machine not to sew

Push the bobbin winder over and always turn the wheel toward u

Haber si puedo arreglar la mia😮 es igual y creo tiene el mismo detalle si todo sale bien arreglaré maquinas ❤

This video is so frustrating. The machine had the bobbin winder mechanism on.

I have a vx808 . When I slide the bobbin winder right, it does not disengage the main mechanism. The knob on the right will not rotate to disengage the main mechanism. Can this be fixed

You have it in bobbin winding mode!! Don't you see the bobbin winding pin spinning?? But thanks for showing us how to take apart the machine!

You dont turn the wheel backwards (away from you) only forward.

Can someone help me. I need to know what the settings are for this machine cotton material, regular stich.

Your bobbin fill is on.

Tengo una máquina igual lamentablemente la preste y no se qué le pasó y no me dijeron nada y ahora que la saqué, pues está muy dura ojalá y me pueda ayudar, mil graci

What a mess can’t start it who in the Domican Republic can help me to start it Christmas gift from my granddaughter I’m 84 been using machine s over 60 years

Just got 37 18 what a mess😢

I have the same machine when sewing the machine won’t pull my material through, I got to pull the material through, is there something wrong with the dogs, is there an adjustment. thank you

It seems that they have just been released from a madhouse and given a sewing machine in their hands, that it is difficult to buy a syringe to fill it with oil for sewing machines?🤔

It looks like you have no idea about sewing machines. Luckily hou are good with your hands and you did not break a perfectly good sewing machine. Next time start with the users manual. Learn the basics and go to troubleshooting section. All's well that ends well ! I had fun watching !

You turn it the wrong way , turn it toward yourself

Me párese un engaño por qué la máquina cuando el devanados está trabajando la máquina no se mueve. Fíjese que cuando empieza el video donde se llena la bobina está a la derecha se va la imagen y cuando vuelve ya está ala izquierda ja,ja,ja,ja,

Please STOP turning the wheel backwards

En español no inventen todo en inglés

Have to say... This is alas one cheap, bottom of the barrel, full of plastic, basic machine, that is deliberately designed and built NOT to last.

At 7min in video I could see that your bobbing winder was engaged, the white spindle is turning. you needed to push it to the left and the needle would then move. At 10min in video when no picture you must off clicked the spindle across because then it moved the needle, rodney you plonker ha ha

Google has sensored your video.

OMG. No!! Don't put that in the dishwasher.
