🔸 Why doesn't my sewing machine sew? | Crab adjustment

[@l1ncs]

this is what an instruction video should be like .. thank you .. nobody has covered this with this clarity

[@javiery70]

Thank you very much and thank you for commenting, not everyone is grateful...

[@Sapnakori9]

Yes this is good and informative However with 5400 singer series the bottom part is not accessible easily. Any ideas for it?

[@javiery70]

@ on the bottom cover there should be removal screws, it may be hidden under the support brackets...

@@javiery70 Hi, Do you have any idea why the timing would keep going out of time? Since fixing it earlier, I had to do it again, and it has now again gone out and is not picking up stiches? Could there be something more serious wrong with the machine?

Check that the adjustment screws are properly tightened and that the gears and shafts are clean and lubricated.

[@fluchterschoen]

Something important that you don't actually say in this video, is that the position of the needle relative to the hook/crab should be adjusted and set with the needle bar in its furthest right position. The video correctly says to put the machine to the widest zig-zag stitch, but the narration forgets to tell you why you need to do this and that you only adjust with the needle at the farthest right position.

[@javiery70]

Thanks for the comment. You can see in the video that the zig zag mode must be at maximum. I will add that information to make it more evident. thank you so much.

[@maanlicht96]

Thanks

[@LorrianneSipana]

This was very a helpful tutorial video that helped me rectify my sewing machine issue. Now I'd just like to know why this happens in the first place.

[@javiery70]

This happens because the mechanical parts wear out with use or simply because the adjustment screws are not tightened sufficiently.

[@LorrianneSipana]

​@@javiery70thank u very much for your response.

[@diatonicdoug6525]

Because on wide ZZ the hook timing changes the needle to hook timing because of dancing needle

[@StingRayPartsWashers]

trying to sew too thick of material, breaking needles, crashing the machine with thread jams in the bobbin area can all cause the timing to slip

Amazing video but It seems for me even with things loosened the crab does not rotate freely. Its very stiff. I Uploaded 2 of my own videos just now. I bought machine used but it looks new. Really hoping to get it working any tips would be appreciated!

If it is rigid you can try to lubricate the axles and gears.

Hello There, Firstly let me APPRECIATE your efforts, very well narrated and well presented and beautiful video. I liked the video and subscribed your channel because I really liked the way you presented the topic at hand. I encourage you to make more and more such videos and wish you good luck and growth in your endeavours. 😇 Now, for my concern, My machine's crab hook is rubbing onto the needle, would you kindly suggest how to fix this please?? Its position is okay as per this video. Thank you.

[@javiery70]

Thank you very much for rating my video positively, positive comments are appreciated. If the needle rubs against the crab and the position is correct, it would be necessary to check if the needle is correct for that machine. It would be necessary to check that the crab is correctly adjusted in its housing. With the correct synchronization of needle and crab there should be no friction. It is also important to check the height of the needle.

Thank you so much for this detailed video! However after I loosen the two Allen screws at the bottom and pray the crab with lubricant it still does not move.

[@javiery70]

Check that it is the correct screw that corresponds to the axis that moves the crab.

[@elwoodbluesmorris2120]

There are three allen screws, it's the bottom two that need to be loosened, relative to the machine being on it's side.

[@rosemarieloxton3279]

I don't know what's wrong with my machine but It seams to be an issue with the bobbin. I've videoed the problem but can't upload it! It's not producing any stitches and making a rattling noise. I've called quite a few repair shop near me but they won't look at my machine as it's a Singer heavy duty 5523 and it's about 3 yrs old. Can you give me any advise please.

[@javiery70]

My advice is to disassemble the machine by removing the bottom cover and try to see what is causing the noise, turning it by hand and see what is happening, see if the gears turn well and there is no breakage. You can lubricate the shafts and gears and try ...

[@StingRayPartsWashers]

5523 is top loading bobbin, same principals of timing apply as the machine in this video but it is harder to see the bobbin hook. Start by removing needle plate and the bobbin to have a better view. Rotate by hand so you can watch what is happening.

Hello javiery my crab wont even move but the wheel turns just fine and freely. What's the problem down there? Thanks

You have to remove the bottom cover and see the cause. If the movement transmission is by belt, it may be broken or loose. If it has gears, it may have its adjustment screw loose.
