My needle wouldn't go into the bobbin area, felt like it was hitting something. I looked at all kinds of manuals, videos etc. couldn't find anything that addressed the issue...until I found your video! I followed your directions and viola! All fixed and ready to roll, Thank You Stacy!!

Such a fantastic “How To” video! The only cleaning videos I’ve seen before have been on immaculate machines, which doesn’t really illustrate the steps very well. Your instructions are very clear and concise, but without missing any details. I can’t wait to see what dust bunnies I find hiding in my machine. Well done Stacy! 👏

Thank you so so much!! This is the first time that I knew that you can get underneath the bobbin case. That was so so informative. What a game changer that is.thanks again

Wow! This is the best sewing machine cleaning video I’ve watched! But if the bobbin case is made out of plastic, you should only use a plastic bobbin, otherwise you will damage the bobbin case and need to replace it. The rule is metal with metal and plastic with plastic.

The best throughout cleaning tuto I’ve seen. Very informative and pleasant to see (And with a real need-to-clean machine 😅)

Thank you for your detailed and clear presentation. You have details that other videos leave out. For example, unscrewing the little arm over the bobbin case to get it out.

Thank you so much for a clear and informative video. I learned so much, and had great success after following your directions. I got tired of paying over $200 for a servicing of my machine, and decided I wanted to learn how to do it myself. You have made that possible with this video, and also with your "Oiling a Sewing Machine" video.

Thank you so much, I neeed to check my oil! TIP: A friend told me about disposable Mascara Wands for cleaning around and down in the machine. It is amazing how much it pulls out even after cleaning it the way you do.

Thank you Stacey. I cleaned my Singer Curvey today, but not under the Bobbin case. Will do this first thing tomorrow morning.

I clean mine weekly. Deeply satisfying.

This is a fantastic video, I’m so glad I found it! I’ve had my machine for exactly one year and decided to finally clean it. It wasn’t as in need as I thought, but I’m so glad I know how to do this now, so thank you!

Great video! Thanks so much.

I can not thank you enough! I'd taken my sewing machine apart to clean it just like you did but didn't know how to put the bobin housing afterwards!

love your no nonsense teaching style, great demo. Suggestion would it not be better to start with the upper cleaning so whatever may fall will be cleaned when you do the bobbin area? Had no idea machines get so bogged down with fluffy stuff! Thanx sew much!

Thank you! This was so informative and you're a great presenter! Looking forward to more of your videos!

Thank you STACEY!! you made my day and .... you saved my Xmas-pillows!!! of course I did subcribe to your fantastic channel!!! best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a happy 2024!!

Thank you!

Great video. Thanks Stacy!

I will try that, thank you :)

This video was so helpful, thank you!

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!

You don’t need to remove anything to get the bobbin case out. You manually turn the handwheel to put the hook race to the back then the bobbin case comes out.

Thank you! Very useful video!

So helpful thank you!

Thank you for this video. Very helpful.

Дякую, дуже гарне відео.

Thank you so much for this video. :) I just cleaned my machine for the first time

This felt like watching the twelve cotton balls being pulled out of that guys ear. Thanks for the clear information 👍

This was a great video!

Awesome, thanks so much.

Sehr gut erklärt,ich weiß jetzt wie ich meine Nähmaschine Reinigen kann.

thank you so much🌹

thank you

Love 💕 this video 👏👍

Excellent video, thanks! Like the others, I like your no-nonsense style. Question:where do I put oil? I have the 4423 Heavy duty

thanks so much

Thanks for a great video! Very helpful! Could you also use a small vacuum to remove lint?

I keep hearing "refer to your manual". This is not in the manual, anywhere. Thank you!!!

Hello Your video is good. Well descriptive. Make more and more videos. Take good care.of yourself and all. God bless all

Thank you for such a well informed tutorial. My only question is after removing the larger chunks of lint, can you use a vacuum with a nozzle attachment to really get in there and remove the finer bits that may be lingering?

Thank you so much! This was so helpful. My bobbin housing popped out and I had no idea how to take it out, this was the first video I found that helped me figure out how to open it

Very helpful video. Mostly people clean only bobbin area but you cleaned the upper part being contact with thread place too. Awesome

Any suggestions on how to listen the two little screws that hold the metal arm in the bobbin housing? Mine are really tight.

Thank you- great instruction! Do you have any recommendations on how to deal with the limited clearance between the presser foot and the feed dogs/plate? I had been using my Singer Fashion Mate since the 1970s, , and after getting this 4452 machine at Christmas, I am disappointed with the maneuvering room there!

Need slower more detailled instruction on how to get bobbin housing back in please

Good job , I have a singer machine 4432,can I use steel bobin, with this no problem please let me know

Thank you for the video. I have a question, do you know what might be the cause of my thread coming off the needle and getting tangled in the eye for the lever above from when you turn the wheel to thread it? I hope that makes sense.

Hi, Stacey! Great video, I did what you said and now my upper thread is looping on the inner side of sewing piece. It happens for the second time with the different singer. Please, help!

hello really helpful video but one of my screws won’t open and i scratched it while trying to unscrew it , is there anything i can do to unscrew it?

I watched the whole video carefully, very useful and very well explained, but I would like to know how to remove a piece of needle that broke and fell inside. My machine is new, I used it once and this happened, I don't want it to be damaged. My machine is 4411.

I think I understand why my previous machine burned out. Wow!

Use cotton swabs. Lint sticks to then.

Stacey, what stitch number shall I use to make regular stiches..my stitches are lose.and also, will you thread the machine. I think I'm messing something. Thanks !

hi can you give me the length of the ol wick - trying to buy one in England mine is missing second hand machine :( seems janome do one so trying to check out availability

Hi I cleaned my as you told and problem is that upper thread collect down side , again and again I checked thread bobbin please help me

Do you know how to find the correct pressure foot pressure if you didn't mark the factory setting? Like rule of thumb were all factory set pressure feet sit a nickel or a dime thickness away from feed dogs when lowered. I moved my dial without making it first, and now my threads are breaking trying to find the right tension.

When must u oil it and how often

Bonjour Stacy, j'ai bien suivi votre vidéo. J'ai nettoyé ma machine mais problème je ne sais pas remettre le porte bobine. Pourriez vous me donner des conseils ? Merci d'avances.

Does this also work for the 4411?

How do clean underneath? My circular felt broke off - can I still use my sewing machine to sew?

Sewing machine tips and tricks watch that and you don’t need to take out the screws from the bobbing case 🤗

I can’t get that arm off, the one that holds the bobbin case in place. The screws are so tight!!! It seems impossible

Hello there May 4452 sewing machine is stuck in reverse what do you think the problem is?

Why is it that my machine gets stuck up and thread gathers on the down side of the cloth. What is wrong?

Do we need to also oil the machine?

Singer warns against using metal bobbins in this type of machine - will they wear out the plastic bobbin casing sooner? I would like to use mine.

Can’t you see a small vacuum, like a car vac, to suck out all those fibers?

How to oil singer 4423

Hi, do you also need to oil the upperpart?

Oiling??

Y is my reverse not working need help please

Yikes! I've never seen a sewing machine with that much lint :P 😆

It's good info but moving too fast

That's interesting that you also have found it necessary to remove the little "stop" plate(?) before the bobbin case can be lifted out. Many other videos on here show it simply lifting out without having to remove or loosen that plate. I don't have to actually remove mine, I just loosen it, which means the screws remain in place and aren't in danger of dropping down into the innards of the machine. Obviously, I tighten them afterwards. Singer UK Helpline have told me I shouldn't do that, but haven't told me how else I can get it out! UPDATE SINCE THE LAST POST. Singer's UK Helpline has now advised me to return this under Warranty because it shouldn't be like this. STOP PRESS - since my last comment that Singer said to return it, I have had another look and found the problem. There are two small plates fitted above the bobbin case, each held in place by two screws. One plate at the rear left hand (which she removes in the video), and one plate at the front right hand. There is a tiny amount of clearance around the holes through which the two screws in each plate pass. By loosening these two plates and sliding them within the limit of their holes outwards from the bobbin case, then re-tightening them, enough clearance can be won to allow the bobbin case to be lifted out and replaced. BUT it's much easier if the slot on the side of the rotating case into which the bobbin case sits, is at the rear of the machine (just slowly move the hand wheel to position this. Once you have done this, there should be no need to get the screwdriver out again.

Omg, I can’t take the screws out, they are sooo tight.😭

HELP PLEASE I cleaned out the machine & oiled it. Why is my Fly? wheel so tight? My business is sewing

👍
