Sewing Machine: SIRUBA HSP-6854 non riesco a far salire il filo della spolina

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 02:39:07 -0700

Salve a tutti,

Mi hanno dato questa macchina da cucire, ho seguito le istruzioni alla lettera e guardato due video ma non riesco a far salire il filo della bobina. Quando scendo con l'ago questo non riporta in su niente, e smontando il porta bobina mi sembra che l'ago quando è nella posizione più bassa sia lontano dal meccanismo a punta che dovrebbe prendere il filo e farlo girare intorno raccogliendo quello della spolina di sotto. Non capisco se sono io il problema o la macchina ha qualche problema, ho fatto due video e una foto in cui si vede la pozione dell'ago rispetto al gancio. Spero che qualcuno mi possa dare un aiuto, grazie!

Needle in the lowest position: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/enumD/...

Mi è stato detto che la macchina ha perso la sincronizzazione tra sopra e sotto e che l'ago rotante inferiore arriva troppo in ritardo rispetto all'ago. Ho provato a regolare il sopra e il sotto ma sembra che in qualsiasi posizione l'ago rotante colpisca l'ago superiore.
Ho fatto un piccolo video per far capire cosa intendo, qualsiasi suggerimento è apprezzato:

Brother CS6000i: It’s sewing in reverse and will not switch to forward

Wed, 13 May 2026 11:49:03 -0700

My Brother CS-6000i is sewing in reverse and will not switch back to forward sewing. I did an online chat with Brother (the manufacturer) but because it isn’t under warranty, they want me to join an on line service for $65 a month to chat with a technician. I have tried resetting to the factory defaults as described in another “online fix it” but it won’t reset either. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don’t know how to fix it. It sews beautifully backwards!

Sewing Machine: Sewing machine jams only when shuttle/bobbin case is installed

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 10:33:51 -0700

My sewing machine jams as soon as I install the shuttle/bobbin case. The top rod (take-up lever) stops moving entirely when the shuttle is in place, but the machine runs smoothly when the shuttle is removed. I have cleaned out the lint and checked for basic jams, but the issue persists. Is this a shuttle timing issue or an alignment problem with the shuttle race? It is an Indian-style machine (similar to Usha/Singer manual models). Any advice on how to align the hook or reset the timing would be appreciated.

Sewing Machine: Smoke from the engine

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 14:17:48 -0700

Bernina Bernette 330 from the eighties, apparently in good shape.

Turning the wheel, the needle moved. I turned the engine on, light went on but the needle didn't move. After a couple of minutes, a buzzing noise and a whisp of white smoke. It smells like paper smoke. Is there something I can do?

Sewing Machine: machine starts beeping after two stitches

My Singer 2638 machine stitches a couple of times and then beeps and then stops. The handle is really hard to turn. I have opened it all up, cleaned out everything but not sure what gear might be bad? Or where to look?

Sewing Machine: Stuck bobbin, unable to remove

I have a Bernina 560, the bobbin and case is stuck in the machine. There is no lever on the right of the bobbin to quickly disassemble the bobbin closure. I have removed the top silver plate and tried different wheel positions. It’s stuck.

Singer Esteem: Very loose thread at the back

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 14:12:48 -0700

My machine gets stuck very often and I can see the thread extremely loose at the back. I think that the hook is not timed with the needle eye at the lower point but I don't know how can I coordinate the circular motion of the hook since there is nothing to adjust it. Please help
