Don't know what you mean? Mine stays in place. Do you have it threaded and wound correctly?

The one marked "light" or "sewable" doesn't gum up your sewing machine. The other one is very difficult to sew.

Place the fabric under the presser foot next to the quarter inch rim/lower needle to hold fabric lift up ther top fabric and hold close to the rim as you sew as you get to the very end use your tweezers to hold the top fabric and it just slips into place. no pins. you do not pull or streatch and it just falls into place. You may watch a you tube on the procedure as well

Hi, Does your new machine have a metal throat plate? ( that is the plate that goes under the sewing foot which the needle passes through as it goes down and catches the bobbin thread) If you have the metal plate the Dritz Magnetic Seam Guide should work with not problem. The great thing about the magnetic guide for me is when I sew a hem in place or have a seam that is deeper than one inch I measure out from the needle to the depth of the seam or hem and attach the guide to the metal throat plate and as I sew the edge of the fabric is sliding through against the guide and I have a perfect seam. Good luck with your new sewing "toy" and have fun sewing ! I hope this answered your question. Happy Sewing Ells3

I have never tried it on a regular sewing machine but I don't think it would sew the same.

Yes, I actually just leave mine on top all the time and it is the perfect height for comfortable sewing. Hope this helps.

I think it is probably a fluke; we have had ours in heavy rotation for a little while with no trouble. I have, however, had trouble with snaps and tearing on other clothing, so I have tried to get in the habit of using my nails when unsnapping rather than tugging the fabric. Good luck!

1. I think that if the fabric is too gentle bottom seam might pucker. Use a size 11 needle for lighter fabric and guide with your hands while stitching. Also for very, very gentle fabric you may need to place soft tissue paper below the fabric. Tear away after stitching. 2. Check to see if the machine is properly threaded. If the thread slips from one of the threading locations your stitch will be imperfect. 3.Adjust the tension. Turn the knob to each number, and for each turn practice the stitch on a portion of fabric. Play around with the tension number until the bottom stitch is desirable. 4. Ensure that your thread is good quality 5. Ensure that the thread in the bottom shuttle is smoothly wound on the bobbin, and is properly pulled through the slot 6. Oil the machine, especially the plate and shuttle section. (wipe off excess oil) 7. Don't panic. If you relax your machine will. I HOPE THIS HELPS. I LOVE THIS MACHINE. IT WORKS FOR ME LIKE A CHARM.

Not as good as the one I use for my other sewing machine. The other one has a piece that goes below the foot that stops the fabric from going past 1/4 inch.

No . . .just long space with dividers. Nothing to prevent bobbins from spinning and thread to become tangled each time it's moved. Consider the Bobbin Saver, which holds bobbins tight in a donut shape so they can't spin off thread. I threw this case away after dealing with the messy tangled thread each time I needed a bobbin.

Absolutely there are spaces on both the right or the left of item that makes it easy to sew. However you could just sew over the velcro i dont see why not it would not affect the item at all in my opinion! But the answer to your question is yes!!

There's a wheel up by the bobbin winder. Try turning that, you may have turned it last time you wound a bobbin.

Hi, push the stitch length all the way to the left until you hear a beeping, then immediately move it all the way to the right. I usually adjust the tension on top a little looser also so the basting thread is looser which makes it easier to gather fabric. Remember, every time you turn your machine off, it defaults to the tiny stitch, so you must repeat this step whenever you want to baste.

Your machine should be adjusting tension automatically....I would check your needle versus type of fabric you're sewing/embroidering, check to see if you have a piece of thread broken apart in the head of the machine that could be catching on your sewing thread. You can manually adjust tension by running the thread back and forth at the top rear...then, Thread the machine. check your manual or on-line for the description. If you are embroidering, be sure you are using quality thread. I've used less "expensive" & paid for it in breakage in the middle of the piece. Try slowing down the stitching speed & make sure you are using the proper backing for your fabric. You could still have thread caught in the bobbin case which could be exerting too much pressure on the top thread. I would try a thorough cleaning, vacuum.....your machine out....never blow it like a computer. The sewing machine has oiled, moving parts & blowing the dirty, dust, lint pushes it into the machine and eventually causes a sludge..... Check to make sure you haven't knocked the timing out.....if the machine increases in frequency of breakage, look at your bobbin case...make sure the needle isn't hitting the plastic instead of the hole ...sliding off into the bobbin. Goodness, I hope this helpS!!! All else fails, call Singer support...they are easy to work with...I've called them in e past. THey will walk you through maintenance to get you up and running. I love my 400!!! Use it all the time....one of three sewing machines.....I have a 43 year old brother I can't part with as well.. Good luck MMh

I have the same 'problem'...it's a bit inconvenient to change the bobbin. However, it is relatively easy to just take the sewing machine out and place it temporarily on the table to change the bobbin. It's not an 'ideal' situation but I find the convenience of the table outweighs the inconvenience of changing/filling bobbins.

This machine is only set up for thread. Yarn would get bogged down in the bobbin case. You should look at commercial sewing machines to use with yarn. :)
