Singer 20U-109 Jammed Fixes

How to remove a thread that jams your Singer 20U. When oiling the hook, let the oil soak in for at least 5 minutes. This fix will work on Juki DDL series machines too. The main difference is the hook is sideways on the Juki DDL series.

Almost a whole year of not using my machine and I've finally figured out what the problem was. That damn position finger had got out of place. I honestly would never have figured that out without this video. Thank you so much 🙏

[@Sewinggold]

Happy it helped you!

[@seamslegit7461]

Thanks so much!!! I sew lots of Minky blankets and my 20u33 got jammed today! You’re video helped me fix it and repair the jam!!!

[@KhemBuzzDesigns]

Thanks so much the trick really worked on my two lion industrial leather sewing machine. My machine got jammed really bad by a very tiny and small thread(which I was able to see after I tried out this trick of back and forth on the wheel after oiling, that was the first step proposed in this tutorial) Thanks so much for your help..

[@wealthybisionabajo4198]

This was exactly my challenge also. I'm glad it's fixed

[@selenemade]

Thank you Steve and José for this great video! I was panicking thinking I had to call a technician and this was SO EASY to fix with ur video. I love feeling confident enough to fix this little issues with my machine. Keep it up guys! Appreciate you both.

[@Sewinggold]

Our pleasure!

[@abdulabuja4241]

Thank you sir , my machine just stop working, i been thinking of taking it to a technician but with video I've fix it myself and it working normal thank you so much May God bless you 🙏🙏

[@SpringRubber]

Thank you for the tips! My wife's antique Singer 221-1 jammed up just like this and although it's a different design the concept is the same. On her unit it was impossible to disassemble as the single tiny screw was frozen (even after using penetrating solvent). After finding your video I stood the machine up on its end, put on some oil and let it soak a few mins as you suggested and was able to work the assembly back and forth to free up & remove some thread debris. She's back in business!

[@theresachidothi480]

Thank you so much for this video. It has had been really of help each time my machine jams. I have watched over and over. God bless you

[@Sewinggold]

You are very welcome

[@sxsboy2253]

Maganitize any steel screwdriver tip simply by dragging it across the end of a magnet several times. Those little screwdrivers the salespeople hand out occasionally with a magnet on the end work perfectly for this. I’m always amazed at how jammed my Consew machine gets with just a small piece of thread wedged in like you have shown here. Thanks for explaining it and showing how to deal with it. Joe

[@rogerevartt9749]

Thanks for sharing this. My wife bought the same machine. Got it home and it was stuck before she got to use it. Thought we were at a loss. I don’t have any experience with these. But, with your tutorial I was able to fix it with no problems. Thanks again.

[@sarahs5120]

Thank you so much, with your help,I removed fragments of a broken needle from the machine and now it works again, I would never have had the confidence to even contemplate this if I hadn’t seen your video

[@Sewinggold]

These are the comments I love to see. I am so happy you were able to fix it.

Just used the last option on my machine now and its working well now. Thanks and God bless you

[@Sewinggold]

Great to hear! Thank you.

[@sewingqueenusa]

I did that twice and had to take it to a mechanic far away. I learned how to do it myself. Your video explained so clear. My 20U73 has the tendency to grab that thread in the bob i ng basket. So everytime i change my bobins I slowly use the handwheel to bring my thread up so it won't happen. I appreciate your video.

[@Sewinggold]

We appreciate your comments!

[@ajayisamuel6448]

[@abethepunk]

The hook assembly screws wont budge on my 20ux143, the screws are stripping! Edit: I tried PB Blaster (I blocked off everything but the screws in case of overspray), still won't budge. Then my table is old so if I push too hard the right hinge pops out. I'm going to lose a finger over this 😂 My frustrations aside, thank you for this video. It's very clear and helpful, you gained a sub.

[@Sewinggold]

You can use this technique to try and loosen the screw albeit on a smaller scale.. It may damage it more, but you can always replace it once you get it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKnSm3pugtSUh5Y

[@santosenamorado3626]

Great I believe that’s what happens to my and I did mess with the basket case and probably move it out of alignment and also did move the needle bar up. Now I have to check is there is a thread in there and have to figure out to to set back to normal. I’m screwed now.

[@elizabethcromwell1621]

Thanks so much. I've been able to fix it without the help of a repairer

[@Sewinggold]

Happy to hear that.

[@bolayonan6753]

Thank you

[@paperrosenyc9583]

Hello! I have the Singer 191D-30 and I’m having an issue where when I’m winding my bobbin the machine gets jammed and the hand wheel will not move. I stop winding the bobbin and move the hand wheel around a few times and it works again for a little while but then Will jam up again when I am sewing and makes this really loud “clanking” sound. I’ve changed the needle so many times and that seems to be a temporary fix. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[@larrylowe5680]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@Sewinggold]

You’re welcome 😊

[@chrisnguyenDQ2012]

This is a very good demonstration for hook rotating jammed work. I can't do it yet because I'm paralyzed. Thank you very much

Why why did you not turn the balance wheel backward really hard the built in cutter will clear the jamb ffs

[@boitumelosegone2616]

Hi this is so helpful but I cant remove the position finger. It doesn't come out after taking out the screw
