Brother is right!!!!!
I'm trying to help my SIL with her machine... cleaned and oiled it; followed the directions in the booklet EXACTLY! (as mediocre as they are!) but the top thread will NOT pick up the bobbin thread. I've checked needles; the correct direction of the bobbin thread and top thread; all sorts of combos of stitch length, needle position, presser foot up and down, etc.... HELP! I'm assuming the 3 clear plastic bobbins that are here are for this Brother. I did find 3 that were thinner and labeled Singer, (UGH!) but I'm using the "other" ones. I did a search on here for Brothers, but this VX-1120 is not specifically listed. Did get a ph. no. however. Thanks in advance for any help out there. Frustrated Frog! |
Check that the flat shank on the needle is in the right direction and that you thread the needle eye correctly. I have a Brother that threads from right to left and will not work otherwise but my other Brother threads left to right. I always get them mixed up so I put an arrow going the right direction on the front.

I am on Edit:
I didn't like the other link I added so I just took it out. Got some crazy happenings when I was trying to use it. I do like this link and feel it will work fine for you: http://www.retrevo.com/support/Broth...9095dj779/t/2/ It is a pfd file you can download. |
