Does anyone know how to get a Singer 724 Sewing Machine to pick up the bobbin thread?

Question

I just bought a Singer 724 Sewing Machine and it works great but it was well used when I bought it. Everything works fine I just don't know how to thread the bobbin to get the needle to pick up the bobbin thread. Can anyone help me?

Ok if I had the owners manual i would know the answer to my question, i bought it used at a garage sale it had no instruction manual

Answer 1

After you take out the empty bobbin, use a small paintbrush to clean out all the fuzz from the area of the sewing machine where the bobbin fits in. Swirl it around in the little bobbin case too.

Fill the bobbin and put it into the case with the end tailing out into your left hand. Then make sure you get the thread all the way down into the little slot.

Pop the bobbin case into place until it clicks. Don't close up the machine yet.

Thread the needle and hold the tail in your left hand. With your right hand, roll the handwheel until the needle dips down and back up again. It should carry the bobbin thread up with it.

If you just bought it, what happened to the instruction manual? Go to the index at the back and look up "bobbin" or "bobbin thread" or find the troubleshooting page. It should be covered on one of these pages.

If you have lost your owner's manual, go to Google and type in "Singer 724 owner's manual" and hit enter. They'll show you an online one or show you where to order a new one. Don't mess up your machine. Read the manual!

Answer 3

I could not find the picture of your machine for some reason but I do know that if your bobbin is wound backwards or is upside down, the thread will not pick up.
