Singer Futura II 920 Bobbin winding problem
I wanted to see how this particular machine operates so when I found one fairly reasonable I purchased it. It was running just fine, and I was able to wind the bobbin until I locked the reverse lever to change to one of the decorative stitches built into the machine. Now the needle will not pickup the bobbin thread with a full bobbin nor will it wind a completely empty bobbin. I have changed the needle and took off the bottom cover to see if there were in cracked or totally broken gears but everything looks to be in order. I have the manual so I have followed the directions for winding a bobbin and inserting a bobbin that has already been wound. I just can't figure out why the needle will not pickup the bobbin thread. Anyone here have any ideas. I know most of you are not fond of this machine and I really have no intention of keeping it but I just wanted to see how it operates.
