Machines | Singer Heavy Duty - Adjusting Bobbin Tension

Click "Show More" before commenting. Also, please forgive my dirty hands.... I had been working on machines all day when I recorded this video. I've had a few reports of people receiving new machines with the bobbin tension being too loose. Be aware that doing this may void your warranty. However, it is an easy fix to do yourself it you wish., In this video I'll demonstrate how remove and tighten the bobbin tension. Hopefully, it will eliminate the need for you to return your new machine. NOTE! Yes I know the thread was wrapped around the needle when I threaded the machine at the end. Working around a close-up camera shot limits my hand position and viewing angles. In the end I had to tighten the case about 1/8th of a turn in order to get the proper bobbin tension.

Hi Kevin....I watched your other Tutorial for the Threading of the Singer HD 4423 and I put a comment there too... but I just bought myself a 4423 and the Automatic Threader does not have the fine wire that goes thru the Eye of the Needle...is that a common flaw with these units.. I hate to bring it back for such a small defect... but it would be handy to have !

You sir, are an everyday hero. I was getting ready to bring my machine in, which was very odd, as it's a very new machine. And came across this video. Problem solved and back in action'

solved my problem!!!! thank you !!!!!

After doing button holes, my dogs will not engage. I have tried every thing I can think of. I can't sew if the material won't move

This video helps me know what to do if my machine needs adjustment on the Bobbin.
I sure do Thank You. -
Kevin please leave this vid and your others up for the help they assist. I realize success comes not from getting a better machine, but from practice which threads/materials/speeds work together. It is quite an effort to get going. Like if I had top line basketball shoes, only using them playing basketball will make me better, not just the shoes.

Great video! I was wondering if you have any tips or videos on how to repair the upper tension discs? Mine just completely lost the ability to grab the thread after a few years of heavy duty use. I make dog collars so the machine gets a lot of abuse but I do keep him oiled and cleaned. I don't want to waste the money taking it into a repair shop if I can repair it myself. Thanks!

This video saved my sanity! I have been fighting for days with bunching. I'd gone through my manual, threaded, re-threaded, wound new bobbins, practically everything. Searched the Internet for causes and fixes. You are the first person I found that said anything about fixing the bobbin thread. I could not find how to tighten the bobbin thread in the manual. Thank you so much!

looks like a great demonstration only your finger is is the way when you tighten the tension. Which way do we turn the screwdriver clockwise or counter clockwise please thanks

Thank you for this video Kevin, I just bought my Singer 4423 Classic and after one day of using it my bobbin case got stuck..you have a very good narrator skills and all the time helpful ( found your Singer Classic introductory video and i keep on getting back to it every time i feel like i need to practice something) .P.S I still find the automated needle threader as easy as rocket science :)! All the best from Spain

I am so grateful for this video...it helped me very much. Do you have a video or advice on oiling a singer 4411?
-
when you threaded your needle the thread was twisted around the needle. is this an aid, something that doesn't matter, or something I should have been doing from the start? thanks for the info.
