Singer 237, skipped stitches.
Nevermind after 12 hours I figured it out
the needle was inserted backwards, as I had mixed up my right and left. I currently have a singer 237, which I have used on and off for years since it was given to me. I've never had an issue until last night. I went to sew something, and I keep getting skipped stitches, and uneven stitches and I can't figure out why. The only thing different since the last time I used it, is I got some of the lint out and oiled the machine according to the manual. What else can I try? Things I've tried so far: Rethreading the machine (several times) Switching out the thread and bobbin for other ones Changed the needle Removed and reinserted the needle Re-read the manual to make sure I was inserting the needle correctly Change the pressure the pressure foot exerts on the fabric I waited overnight to see if that would help. |
Not familiar with that particular machine but is your needle threaded properly - left to right or right to left? I know that makes a difference on FW's - not sure about other machines.

Waiting overnight is a great option. Dad always said, 'Quit before you break something." Hooray for you.
