Maybe this is a silly question but I am having a very hard time threading my sewing machine needle. Are the holes on these big?

They do not seem any larger to me than the holes on the needles that came with my machine.

I would use clear thread, like fine fishing line and sew them up, reinforcing the areas that get more stress. Use tiny stitches to insure a tighter hold. I haven't noticed mine coming un-stitched. If yours are in really bad shape and you haven't had them very long, I would contact the seller and let them know you have a defective pair. Good luck either way.

Discarded bobbins. They did not fit my Viking 120 sewing machine. Can't answer question. N. wilson

I purchased these bobbins for my 750 Golden Touch & Sew zig-zag machine.I sold my machine with those bobbins and never got a chance to use them on it.

These work on any spool with a normal size hole. They work by catching the bobbin in the top part and then fitting in the hole on the spool of thread. Hope this helps...

I'd bring it to a hardware store and find something that will fit the threads. They're a strange size though, so good luck.

It depends on what you are sewing. I'm using just regular heavy duty thread and it works great. It takes a while to get the hang of the machine but it works great. If you have a real heavy duty application, you're going to need a real heavy duty thread. The thread that came with it was 1/16" or thereabouts. It's much heavier than you need for most applications.

Yes, they are slightly thicker/ taller than all other bobbins. They fit just right. Always check size of thickness. Yes, they are the same size as those that come with machine.

Hi, I bought them to try. Since I use Singer and Schmetz needles as well in my Janome, I would think they are standard

Hi. The neeedles should fit your machines as long as they have a flat side in the needles. They are excellent needles for the price you pay. I hope that answered your. question. Happy sewing

Reinsert your bobbin and make sure you have it caught in the slot on bobbin case.After that hand turn your machine over.Rotate the wheel forward to go down into the bobbin case area.Thread should rotate around and be caught up by the sewing machine hook.Than the bobbin thread should come to the top.If this doesn't happen your timing on your machine might have been push off. Did you try to sew a really heavy fabric or thickness.This can move the timing out of placement.It will require having it checked by a sewing machine repairman.But first recheck that both top and bottom thread are threaded correctly.Also check your needle to see if it is bent or worn.Replacement is the easiest test. Also check to see if there is a lot of lint build up in the bobbin area.It can be cleaned out with canned air. How long have you had your machine and how much have you used it? Without seeing the machine I'm guessing at possible causes of problems with the machine.Did you have any problem with the tension before this problem came up?

My suggestion is to get a ruler and draw 1/4" line on the side you are wanting to sew. Then sew on the line - it will show you where your needle should be positioned. My Brother has to be on #1 for this foot to work. I also found I like to use 3.0 stitch when using this foot. It just seems to work best for me on this length. I hope this was helpful.

Actually I bought these by accident. If you are interested, I will sell them to you for $20 plus shipping. I don' have a Brother, I have a happy commercial machine. The thread size notations are very confusing because there are a number of different systems for describing thread sizes and I am not sure what is in the Brother manual. This having been said, the bobbin thread used for embroider is usually lighter than the top thread. If you are doing basic embroidery with the threads that are advertised as machine embroidery threads, these bobbins will work just fine for you. ferrar@roadrunner.com

Your machine should be adjusting tension automatically....I would check your needle versus type of fabric you're sewing/embroidering, check to see if you have a piece of thread broken apart in the head of the machine that could be catching on your sewing thread. You can manually adjust tension by running the thread back and forth at the top rear...then, Thread the machine. check your manual or on-line for the description. If you are embroidering, be sure you are using quality thread. I've used less "expensive" & paid for it in breakage in the middle of the piece. Try slowing down the stitching speed & make sure you are using the proper backing for your fabric. You could still have thread caught in the bobbin case which could be exerting too much pressure on the top thread. I would try a thorough cleaning, vacuum.....your machine out....never blow it like a computer. The sewing machine has oiled, moving parts & blowing the dirty, dust, lint pushes it into the machine and eventually causes a sludge..... Check to make sure you haven't knocked the timing out.....if the machine increases in frequency of breakage, look at your bobbin case...make sure the needle isn't hitting the plastic instead of the hole ...sliding off into the bobbin. Goodness, I hope this helpS!!! All else fails, call Singer support...they are easy to work with...I've called them in e past. THey will walk you through maintenance to get you up and running. I love my 400!!! Use it all the time....one of three sewing machines.....I have a 43 year old brother I can't part with as well.. Good luck MMh

I use my regular needles but I have to lighten up on the tension so its not so tight and breaks the thread. Hope this helps.
