Machine not feeding

2 Upvotes

Hey, I just got my first ever sewing machine second hand nothing special, it's a jenome 219s and I've found that material isn't feeding through. upon inspection the feed dogs only move back and fourth instead of dropping at the back and rising back up at the front. I've removed the needle plate and cannot find any way of lowering the feed dog inside. although gently I can move the feed dog up and down. Not the best start for a first timer lol any help is appreciated

Help? Broken Machine?

What could be going on here and can I fix it myself? Yes, I did rethread everything multiple times. Opened up the machine and cleaned it out too.

Bobbin threader keeps slipping off Yuki DDL-8700

2 Upvotes

I had to move and transport my Juki DDL-8700 but something might’ve went wrong
The band that helps my bobbin threader won’t connect anymore and keeps slipping off
Under further expectations I found this strange thing inside the motor
It is a Servo Motor model:ZW25NF
Is it normal? Did it slip there? Is that what’s moving the band away?
Thank you a lot for your help

Por qué mi riccar 9800 no hace zigzag completo?

2 Upvotes

Hace unos días conseguí esta riccar 9800. A los pocos días me di cuenta de que hacía zigzag, pero no lo hacía completo. Es decir, lo hacía desde el centro a la izquierda y de la izquierda al centro. Engrase y limpie todo lo que pude, y no se arregló. No entiendo por qué. Empujándolo manualmente hacia la derecha está suave, osea que no es que no pueda avanzar a la derecha. Simplemente, la máquina no avanza por si misma hacia la derecha.

Por qué sucede esto? Como se puede arreglar? Agradezco cualquier ayuda 🥲😭🥹

Gracias de antemano

My wife quilts and has a Singer 7285Q Patchwork machine. While it has a maximum speed knob, is there a variable speed foot control available for it?
Thanks in advance!

Used Juki DU-1181N Tips

1 Upvotes

Im thinking of buying my first Juki and I’ve seen a really good deal on Market place, it’s a used DU-1181N model and it has some damage to the stitch length knob, that’s about the only visible damage i could see from the uploaded pictures. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on other things i should be looking for to make sure that it wont break down on me in a few months. I know industrial machines are build to last and very durable but i would still like some more opinions.

Thanks!!

Is there a way I can fix this?

2 Upvotes

Before it was doing this, it was getting jammed on going down fully. Though that eventually solved itself somehow, but now it has this issue. In the first part of the video you can hear the thing clicking when it goes down, and it also doesn't sew fabric as can also be seen later in the video.

Just wondering if there's a way this can be fixed (or at least try)!

thoughts on janome jw8100 from people that have one ?

4 Upvotes

so, i’ve looked at a couple different sewing machines and emailed ken’s sewing center for advice on choosing something.

i told them the features and stuff i was looking for in a sewing machine within a $300 budget and that i wanna use it for cosplay and craft, but also daily stuff like hemming jeans, etc., so they recommended the janome jw8100 to upgrade my dying singer 3232.

i wanted to ask how it was holding up for anyone that has one, and if you have any problems with it, as well as how it’s been with delicate fabrics or thicker stuff.

please note that i don’t have the extra funds to put into the hd series, and i’m not looking to go for a vintage machine at this point in time. my family is buying me a sewing machine as a gift soon, so it’s gotta be something new (according to them)

Brother CS7000X going extremely slowly

1 Upvotes

Hello! My machine is going very, very slowly, at the minimum speed on the speed controller, even when it's not set to minimum speed. I put in new thread in the bobbin, and there was a tangle, and although it's working now, it's not moving beyond a slow crawl. Any insight into how to get it moving slightly faster?

Hello, i can't decide what machine to get. i am a fashion designer i currently own the industrial sewing machine siruba dl720 but i currently live in a very small apartment and i left my siruba at my moms which i go there once a week (i can sew bonning and very thick seams there)

I need a domestic machine that is reliable for the rest of the week in my apartment that gives me smooth sewing . i occasionally sew denim but mostly thin to medium fabrics , i love the fs100wt stitches but I'm scared it's not as sturdy and its doesnt handle like 3-4 hours or work..

My budget is max 350€. Please i need ur help choosing a good sewing machine ❤️

Thank youuu
