Singer MX60 user manual

There could be several reasons why your Singer sewing machine is not grabbing the bobbin thread. Here are some possible causes and their solutions:
1. Incorrectly threaded machine: Check the threading of both the top thread and the bobbin thread. Make sure the threads are properly placed and threaded through all necessary guides and tension discs as per the machine's manual.
2. Bent or damaged needle: A bent or dull needle can cause issues with thread grabbing. Replace your needle and ensure that it is the correct size and type for the fabric you are using.
3. Improperly wound bobbin: Ensure that the bobbin is wound smoothly and evenly without any tangles or loose threads. Make sure the bobbin is inserted correctly and rotates in the right direction.
4. Tension issues: Incorrect tension settings can lead to the machine not picking up the bobbin thread. Adjust the tension dial as per the machine's manual recommendations and perform some test stitches on scrap fabric to find the correct tension.
5. Dirt or lint buildup: Accumulated dust, lint, or thread particles in the machine's bobbin area can hinder proper thread pickup. Clean the bobbin case, shuttle, and feed dogs using a small brush or compressed air. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for smooth operation.
6. Incorrect bobbin type: Ensure that you are using the correct type of bobbin recommended for your Singer sewing machine model. Different machines may require specific bobbin types, so refer to your machine's manual for guidance.
If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and your Singer sewing machine is still not grabbing the bobbin thread, it may be necessary to consult a professional sewing machine technician for further inspection and repair.

There could be several reasons why your bobbin thread is bunching up on a Singer MX60 sewing machine. Here are some possible causes and solutions:
1. Tension: Incorrect tension settings can cause the bobbin thread to bunch up. Check both the upper and lower tension settings and adjust them accordingly. Make sure the tension is balanced and set to the recommended settings for the type of fabric you are sewing.
2. Bobbin thread winding: If the bobbin was not wound properly, it can cause the thread to bunch up. Ensure that the bobbin is evenly wound and that the thread is properly threaded through the tension mechanism on the bobbin winding spindle.
3. Incorrect bobbin insertion: Make sure the bobbin is inserted correctly in the bobbin case or shuttle. Ensure that there are no tangles or loops in the bobbin thread when threading it through the bobbin case tension mechanism.
4. Dirty or damaged bobbin case: Dust, lint, or debris can accumulate in the bobbin case over time, leading to thread snags or uneven tension. Clean the bobbin case regularly with a soft brush or compressed air to prevent this. Also, check for any damages or burrs on the bobbin case that may be causing the thread to catch.
5. Incorrect threading: Improper threading of the upper thread can also cause the bobbin thread to bunch up. Refer to your machine's manual and thoroughly follow the threading instructions, ensuring that the thread is properly guided through all the necessary elements.
6. Needle issues: A damaged or bent needle can create tension problems and cause the bobbin thread to bunch up. Check the needle and replace it if necessary, making sure to use the correct type and size needle for your fabric.
7. Sewing speed: Sewing too fast can sometimes cause the bobbin thread to bunch up. Try sewing at a slower speed to see if it helps alleviate the issue.
If you've tried adjusting these factors and the problem persists, it might be best to consult the Singer customer support or take your machine to a professional for further assistance.
