Help with a Singer 15-91
 

I put it away a few years ago and it worked good. I pulled it out a few days ago and am having a problem with it. It will sew 3 or 4 stitches and skip 6 or 8. Any help will be greatful, Thanks Mike.

Someone Please HELP!

I'm guessing that you tried the usual - cleaning, making sure there is no thread caught anywhere, new needle, rethread, wind new bobbin, bobbin in correctly, etc.?

sounds like a needle problem.

I agree, it might be the needle. Try taking it out and reinserting it. But honestly, if I had a machine that I'd not used for that long, I'd take it to the local sewing machine fixer for a tune up before I tried to use it for making something.

Thanks for the help. I'll try a new needle and see if that's a fix.

Please let us know how it turns out.

That's what it was. I never thought to change the needle after 4 quilts. Now if I can locate some light bulbs for it.

Great news!!

Make sure it is oiled nicely, I love my old Singer 15's but they do like to have some oil now and then :) They are wonderful and require very little maintence. Make sure your machine threaded properly too.
