Singer M1000 sewing machine not catching bobbin thread

[@dbirdsell11]

THANK YOU! I bought my machine new and immediately this was an issue - imagine my frustration, especailly when I found out the nearest Singer warranty service person is over 100km away and I don't own a car! Grrr. This tutorial was exactly what I needed! You're awesome.

[@sabrinathomson4337]

I just want to say thank you!!! I just bought a new but used machine. I'm a complete newbie to machines. I haven't sewn in 15 years. The first project went fine, it was a basic one. Once I was comfortable, I said I needed to do a little maintenance ie lint. Well, when I went to start the next project, I couldn't figure out why the bobbin wasn't catching. Hours of searching the internet. I came across your video, and it was the problem! You are a life saver, and I can't thank you enough. I was on the verge of tears bc I was so frustrated. 🎉🎉🎉

[@kadinelindsayart]

Im literally in the same situation 😢 this video is a god sent

[@souljagirl2505]

Just bought Singer M1005 yesterday and got the same problem. Trying to fix by following other tutorial but it makes my energy drained. Then your video helped me, it works really well with not much effort, perfect for a machine noob like me. Thanks a bunch man!

[@deplete5223]

I dont have the other tool i only have the mini one

[@lorpaterja]

THANK YOU!I just bought a used singer simple and the lady who sold it did NOT tell me there were any issues, I was almost ready to toss it out the window :( Your video did the trick and now it's catching the bobbin thread!

[@simin326]

Just got a singer M1000 pre owned. I am a total noob and i was frustrated to see that the thread won't loop from the bobbin. Your tutoral was just the one i needed. Thank you!!

[@annheatherton]

I am so HAPPY. I just repaired my M1000 that stopped sewing after a bobbin thread/needle thread/tension jam. I bought a folding Craftsman 9-key metric hex kit at Lowe's for $10. The smallest hex wrench, the 5/64, fit perfect. BUT I loosened the 2 hex screws under the machine too much. That made the manual hand wheel stop working (it no longer moved the black bobbin case OR the 2 hex screws at the bottom!! Thought I was screwed because now nothing turned so I could not retighten the hex screws because they were no longer visible beneath the machine. So I laid the machine on its back and reached into the black bobbin "cup" on top, and manually moved it so I could see the hex screws at the bottom again. It worked! Then I tightened up one hex screw slightly (but not all the way). Next I set the machine upright and attempted the fix again by moving the black bobbin "cup" so it aligned with the needle as it came down (as KT shows us). Then I put the bobbin thread back in, screwed the white plate back into place, and tried to pick up the bobbin thread with the needle. IT WORKED!!! Then I sewed a few inches. Beautiful. Next, I am going to fix my older, larger Singer that has refused to do a zigzag stitch for years. It only does straight stitch. I read this is also a timing problem. (●'◡'●)

[@ctokrat8737]

Thanks!! Helped me fixed that issue. Singer should have your video on their website and also include instructions how to fix it in the manual as it seems to be a common one....

[@dontrvcon]

Wow! This is so amazingly helpful! My machine stopped working over 2 years ago after only about 2 uses and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I was planning on getting another one but decided to find help on KZbin. This video really helped! I am now able to sew all my clothes that had been waiting for the last couple of years. Thank you so much for these instructions.

[@diyallthings]

Mine stopped working as well after two uses. I am going to try this today.

[@diyallthings]

I thought he was using a screw driver in the bottom of that machine. I am still to get the appropriate key for the bottom of the sewing machine.

[@diyallthings]

I got my Allen hex key today and fixed my machine 🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

[@rkmsafi]

My problem in singer M1005 solved as per your instructions.. Thank you very much .

[@Bingle_orr_sum]

I can’t thank you enough, happy to report my machine’s up and running again!

[@jenniferdeforke5763]

Ahhhhhhh thank you so much!!!! I picked up this machine for $13 at Goodwill. I almost threw it away. Then I found your video! Thank you.😊

[@thinkfirst1989]

Thank you so much for this video. Unfortunately I loosened the allen bolts all the way and was totally unable to put them back into their holes so I've just had to take the entire casing off the machine to access that drive shaft enough to thread them back in. This is a very poorly designed machine in my opinion. Great video tho, thank you!

[@drjoydeepmangaraj1006]

True even the registered singer tecnicians say so and advice against it's repair

[@dsh.2502]

INCREDIBLE HOW CALM YOU STAY ... O ENTHUSIASM TO THROW THIS STUPID MACHINE OUT THE WINDOW

[@alanarodriguez2989]

Thanks for help! 👍🏼Exactly the video I needed. The only video that I see that helped me with the specific problem!!!

[@alishahalishah67]

I m from Pakistan I just want this video thank you u so much u solve my problem 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰

[@nn357]

This made the trick!!! I would add that there are TWO Allen screws on the bottom (I'm not a native speaker, so maybe I missed that part)

[@merlinanderson-c2k]

Loosened the two screws but the black part with catcher will not move enough to be in the right position.

[@juliagolison4061]

have u found a solution? 😅

[@aster6969]

Any tips on how to get that screw loose? It's too tight and just stripping my wrench

[@hugogenesse1234]

I'm replying very late but I used a wrench to hold the Allen key to get more torque

[@babywyd]

bro it keeps moving the needle when i move the black part

[@GoMoJo66]

I am having the same problem

[@Grimmbouxnz]

Any solution found ?

[@aster6969]

It's likely the screws haven't been loosened enough. If you're like me you're having an issue where the screws don't actually turn, and forcing the Allen wrench to turn just straps the wrench

[@babywyd]

@@aster6969 i took ts back bro it got annoying

[@lizblairgillin1200]

My machine had a other set of them little Allen screws I tried wrong ones at first

[@Ceedudesdesigns]

My machine is working again. Thanks so much!!!!

[@pilatestoday]

Saved my night. Thank you!

[@niktadayyani5525]

Hello, I wanted to thank you for your video. I am having so much problem losing the screw. Can you tell me if I am supposed to turn left or right to be able to unscrew the screw under the sewing machine to adjust the timing?

[@annheatherton]

Usually with most mechanical things, the rule is righty tighty, lefty loosey. So I plan to turn slightly to the left to loosen that screw.

[@JTHendrixx]

the lil bolts im suppose to loosen are super tight, and its hard for me to turn it but i believe this is the problem with my machine.

[@kpop-lover615]

SAMEEE

[@Prettyenergyonly]

Very good video. We solved the problem at home. Thanks sir👍

[@Renarte.]

I’ve got it open, I see the two screws but for the life of me I can’t loosen them- any tips y’all?

[@anytayatyta]

Thanks! exactly the video I needed ❤

[@ChristineMichelleYT]

I need help. I have this machine and I've had to adjust the timing a few times. This time that I adjusted the timing, the tray that my bobbin goes in keeps getting caught on the black piece that is below the presser foot. This piece seems to lift up but I don't know why it's suddenly getting caught when I'm trying to thread my machine. please someone help!

[@ChristineMichelleYT]

I think the problem is that the tray that my bobbin goes in is moving and turning and getting caught

[@madisonelandt1082]

Have you found a solution? Same problem here@@ChristineMichelleYT

[@rubyalbarran926]

I’m going to go buy the tools I needed this like yesturday hopefully it fixes it thank you 😊

Thanks a lot I was having this problem and it works ❤😅

[@watermka]

I listened my screws and adjusted the catch/black part but when I flip over to re tighten the screws to test they are moved and only show when I re turn the black part back to where it was?!? How do i re tighten the screws after? I wish you showed that step im so overwhelmed 😰

How do you get the bottom piece open

How to position the bobbin wheel back again? It jumps off the place when I try to rotate the hand wheel.

this is helping but what can I use for the screw that we have to losen in the machine

Thank you! I fixed it and I really didn't think I would be able to.

[@mebisanimationsandotherstu8977]

Whats the tool you used to loosen up the black part?

It's called a 5mm hexagonal screw driver you can get it off of Amazon

I have an issue, when I pop off the small white circle peice on the bottom of the machine. There's no visible little screw to loosen. And when I turn the nob nothing turns like in your video

[@annheatherton]

The two separate hex screws are not always immediately seen. But if you turn the "wheel" toward you a little, the mechanism moves and they will appear, one after the other. You might need a flashlight to see them.

[@sandraenebeli2448]

Thanks!! That’s so helpful.🎉

[@anitahaggie4002]

I neeed help, my machine is called New Ideal Athina 8855 it is nearly like yours but whenever i try to step on its brake it just makes sound but doesnot move the needle at all please show me whats wrong with it since it doesnot stitch at all

[@donsov8199]

Thank you so much. It worked !!!

[@ladyirenethematron]

if i lost my screwdriver key thing, what can i use?

[@annheatherton]

Buy a metric hex kit, sold at most hardware stores for between $7-10. It will have the tiny mm sizes you will need. I got mine at Lowe's.

[@winner1920]

i can’t get the plate up on top of the bobbin

[@annheatherton]

Make sure to remove the presser foot to make more room. My plastic plate slides out toward the back. Also, there is a small square hole in the front of that plate. When I stick a tiny screwdriver inside it, it triggers a lever that releases it.

[@pv2930]

Thanks for the help😊

[@geidyelizabethchavez9862]

Very good tank for this

[@musicaddic95]

One of the screws at the bottom was so tight I couldn’t make it budge, so I’m not sure what to do there

[@annheatherton]

I would try a little oil or lube inside the stuck one and then try again the next day. Mechanical parts can fuse together just from humidity.

[@ron030363]

Thank you would help me for reasons I don't understand

[@nickma71]

When catch is rotated, the needle goes up and down. You can't just rotate it to the needle. I need a little help.
