Why is my Singer sewing machine not working?

First, your needle may be dull or damaged and needs to be replaced. You should also check that you are using the correct needle for the type of fabric you are sewing.

Why is my Singer sewing machine flashing?

You may have accidentally lowered the buttonhole lever located just to the left of the needle bar. You must also make sure that the needle is set at the highest position and that the bobbin winding spindle has been pushed back to the left; otherwise the machine will keep beeping every time you try to sew.

What is the bobbin winding spindle?

A bobbin is a spindle or cylinder, with or without flanges, on which wire, yarn, thread or film is wound. Bobbins are typically found in sewing machines, cameras, and within electronic equipment. In non-electrical applications the bobbin is used for tidy storage without tangles.

To resolve this, rethread the machine, making sure to first raise the presser foot lifter and raise the needle to its highest position, so that the thread can be properly seated in the tension mechanism and take up lever. This can be caused if the top thread tension is too tight, or if the bobbin thread is not in the bobbin case tension.

How often should you change needle on Singer sewing machine?

Change needles regularly (after every 6 – 8 hours of use) as dull/weak needles can cause damage to your machine and fabric. Only use SINGER needles on your SINGER sewing machine. Always be sure you are using the correct bobbin for your machine.
