Singer 15-91 Another plea for help!!!!
Now I can't get it to sew.
It jams as soon as I try to sew. It appears to be something wrong in the bobbin area. I've checked the bobbin area. I have bobbin threaded correctly. Tension seems to be ok.
Without thread it runs perfectly.
I have correct new needle, different thread, different bobbin, threaded left to right per book.....
what else should I check?????

Could you have the bobbin case in there wrong? That little "finger" on the top of the bobbin case has to fit in the slot. It "sort of" clicks when it goes in place.
Another possibility could be it's the wrong bobbin case.
Past that, I'm no help.

edit: What do you mean, it won't sew? It won't make a stitch? Or the needle won't go down? The needle goes down, but doesn't pick up the bottom thread? Exactly what is it not doing?

misseva, on the 15-91 the needle goes with the flat side to the left, and you thread from right to left. It's the opposite of a lot of other machines, including older Singer 15's. Here's the manual for yours: http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...uals/15-91.pdf

Update. My problem was because I had it threaded wrong. Right to left threading fixed it!!! Yea! Thanks again Rocsew for pointing that out. It makes the most perfect stitches now.
