I'm going to call Singer tomorrow, has anyone else had this problem?
I think you are talking about the take-up lever. I do not have this machine, but I'm a firm believer of the saying "when all else fails, read the manual" LOL. I downloaded the manual from
https://manuals.singer.com/Manuals/RetrievePDF/819 On page 33 of that pdf are the instructions for threading the machine. The instructions are very specific about the needle position and presser foot position with the warning that if the instructions are not followed correctly - "
several sewing problems could result." It sounds like it is possible that the thread isn't sitting properly in the tension discs that are hidden, which might be because the presser foot is down.
I got the manual from
