Home Page. Singer Sewing Machines Tension Adjustment & Calibration. This article kindly submitted by Charles Day The calibration of tension on Singer sewing machines is quiet straight forward, but it does have to be performed in the correct order.
The bottom tension MUST be correctly set BEFORE the top tension is adjusted. Under normal circumstances the bottom tension does not change in use, so once set correctly it should not have to be checked again. The need to adjust the bottom tension therefore mainly applies only to second hand machines you are not used to, or if the bobbin holder is changed for some reason. The adjustment principle of the bottom tension is similar for all Singer machines whether they use the vibrating shuttle boat type bobbin case (VS, 28, 128 etc.), the horizontally mounted removable bobbin case (15, 221, 222, 301) or the oscillating shuttle carrier with drop in bobbins (66, 99, 201 etc). Lower Tension Adjusting Screw Later models used an upgraded upper tension control that incorporated a numbered dial into the adjustment nut.
A tensioning trick you may not know - blog - fabric store. Did you know that your bobbin case has its own tensioner?
Many sewers don't. If you're experiencing difficulty with tensioning your machine, it might be that your bobbin tension is too loose (or, less frequently, too tight). To test your bobbin tension, remove the bobbin case and bobbin from your machine and hold the end of your bobbin thread. Swiftly pull up on the thread. The thread should unwind just slightly and the bobbin case should drop an inch or two. What is Rooting and Unrooting in a Android Mobile.

When I bought my first sewing machine years ago, I had no idea what I needed to do to take care of it.
It had a 90-day warranty for any problem whatsoever. After about two months it started acting up. I took it back to the store, and they checked it out. It seems I failed to ever clean my machine. I didn't even know I needed to or how to do it. Here are a few tips on taking care of your machine. General Tips: Change the needle regularly and use a needle appropriate for the fabric.Clean the lint out regularly. Here is my bobbin case after it's been a while. These are my tools for cleaning my machine. First lift out all visible lint while vacuuming with a small vacuum. I use canned air to blow out the thread track. Oil the machine (if recommended for your model). For my machine the oil goes in that metal ring to lubricate the bobbin mechanism. After wiping the needle stem, I also add one drop at the very top and move the needle up and down a few times with the hand wheel. Have a great day! Oldsingersewingmachineblog. According to the old Singer parts lists, that big spokey wheel on the end of your vintage Singer is the balance wheel.
According to most folks who use a vintage Singer it’s the handwheel, so it’s the handwheel as far as we’re concerned here, and we’ll be looking at its removal and replacement, with a bit of a detour on the way. But why, pray, would anyone want to take the thing off? Well, you could be taking a machine apart because it’s in a disgusting state and cleaning it will be so much easier if you take off some of its bits. Or maybe you want to change the handwheel for a different one? You’re bored and it might be more interesting than cleaning the oven? “The clutch?” Well, the clutch is what lives behind that big chromed knob in the middle of your handwheel, and without the clutch your machine would be nowhere near as user-friendly as it is. That upping-and-downing is the motion, which you stop by unscrewing the stop motion clamp screw when you want to wind a bobbin.
