Brother 1500 owners, problem I have.
#1
I have the Brother 1500 Nouvelle 1500s. I really love this machine but not so much today. For reasons unknown before today, every time I use the auto thread cutter the bobbin thread cuts too short inside and I have to re thread it from the case through the cutting guide. It's never happen before. I'm using Aurifil 50# top and bobbin with walking foot. It happens with any foot I'm using though. Anyone have a suggestion to how to solve this? The machine is sewing great otherwise.
The bobbin thread has always been short when using the auto thread cutter but I have never had to re thread it through the cutting guide until now.

I have a 1500. And there have been different threading suggestions for the thread cutting issue... I dont care to change the way I thread my machine so I raise the needle and move the machine a few inches either left or right before I hit the cutting button. Just a thought.

I called a dealer I found online and the repairman at the shop said to not thread it through the cutter guide underneath. It works fine now!

What a simple idea, call a dealer and ask for help! I did that this morning. My Janome was not winding in place and duh, I wasn't doing it right and I knew how, just didn't register with me today! The dealer was super nice and I ordered a new foot from her after seeing her website. Thanks for the idea! Sure saved me a service call and being made to feel even more duhness. Ha.
