Check position of the spool pin
Before you can start to put the bobbin holder back in the Singer sewing machine, you will need to check its placement in the machine. The spool pin should be in an upright, vertical position. If the pin is hesitant in its position or bent in any way, you may need to re-adjust it with needle-nose pliers. Be gentle when adjusting the pin as too much force could result in the machine becoming unusable. Once the spool pin is in its correct position, you will be able to progress with the replacement process.
Checking the needle bar
The next step in the process of putting the bobbin holder back in the Singer sewing machine is to check the height of the needle bar. The needle should be raised to its highest height before the bobbin holder is put in place. To gauge the height of the needle, it is best to measure with a ruler or caliper as the needle must sit in line with the bobbin holder for the machine to be able to properly sew. This is a particularly important step and must not be overlooked if a good quality result is desired.
Attaching the Bobbin Case to the Machine
The bobbin case itself must first be checked for any visible signs of damage. If the case looks in any way damaged, it should not be reattached to the machine as it could pose a safety hazard and quality issues. Once the bobbin case checks out, it can be placed back into the slot underneath where the needle was originally. The ratcheting mechanism of the machine should click as the bobbin case is put in place, however, if this does not happen it is a suggestion that further adjustment is required.
Inserting the Bobbin into the Case
The bobbin is the small, circular piece of fabric that holds the sewing thread. It is inserted into the bobbin case in a clockwise direction. Once the bobbin is in the case, the bobbin holder can now be placed into the side of the Singer sewing machine. The bobbin holder should run parallel with the needle in order to ensure the sewing machine can run smoothly.
Securing the Bobbin Holder in Place
Once the bobbin holder has been inserted into the Singer Sewing machine, it needs to be tightened in place. The bobbin holder should be firmly but gently tightened so that it does not become loose while the machine is in use. This can be done using an adjustable wrench or a screwdriver depending on the type of machine.
Testing the Sewing Machine
Once the bobbin holder has been secured, it is essential to check that the machine is running as it should. Test the machine by setting a pattern and running a sew using both the bobbin and the upper thread. If all runs as it should, then the bobbin holder in the Singer sewing machine is successful in its installation.
Check for Other Issues
Before you can completely finish the installation of the bobbin holder in the Singer sewing machine, it is important to check for any other potential problems. Look for any signs of damage or signs that other components of the machine have come loose. It is also important to check your bobbin for any signs of wear and tear. Check the needle for any signs of corrosion and make sure it is correctly inserted and correctly aligned with the bobbin holder.
Choose the Right Bobbin Holder
When putting the bobbin holder back in the Singer sewing machine, it is important to choose the right model. The best practice is to use the same model as the original bobbin holder that came with the machine. This ensures that the design of the bobbin holder is curved and fitted correctly, making the entire installation process smoother. If the correct model is not available, then the closest option should be selected.
Check Instructions
If you are unfamiliar with the process of putting the bobbin holder back in the Singer sewing machine, then it is important to check the instruction manual for guidance. The manual will provide detailed instructions on the process of replacing the bobbin holder and should not be neglected. It is advisable to not attempt to put the bobbin holder back in the machine until the instruction manual is read and understood thoroughly.
Use High Quality Materials
When installing a new bobbin holder in the Singer sewing machine, it is important to use the highest quality materials available. Low quality parts can lead to poor stitching, which can cause the sewing project to fail. It is also essential to check the bobbin holder for any signs of cracks or damage. If such signs are detected, then the holder should be discarded immediately.
Check Manufacturer Website
If you need advice on putting the bobbin holder back in the Singer sewing machine, then you should visit the manufacturer’s website. Many manufacturers provide step-by-step instructions, videos and images to assist with the replacement process. It is important to follow these instructions closely to ensure the successful installation of the bobbin holder.
Reduce Wear and Tear
When putting the bobbin holder back in the Singer sewing machine, it is important to make sure that the holder does not become worn or damaged. It is best practice to take the holder out for cleaning and inspection on a regular basis, to help reduce the wear and tear. This will ensure that the holder is in the best possible condition when it is put back inside the machine.
Check Bobbin Holder Regularly
Finally, make sure to keep an eye on the bobbin holder periodically. Check for signs that other components may have become loose, as well as signs that the bobbin holder may have become damaged or worn. If any of these signs are noticed, act quickly to replace the bobbin holder before further damage occurs.
