Thanks a bunch. We are making masks for the Covid situation and brought up the sewing machine after many years.

To wind the bobbin, the thread goes from spool to loop, as shown in the video. Then thread comes straight down to the thread guide at the thread tension disc, then, it goes to the guide in the machine base directly below the bobbin winder. The thread does not go directly from the thread guide on the left top of the machine to the thread guide on the right base. Please see the Stylist 457 manual for bobbin winding and threading instructions. For threading, after the thread goes under the thread tension discs, it is simply pulled slightly to the right to engage the spring. If the tension assembly is correctly setup and aligned, there shouldn't be any need to tough the spring and manually move it. When the thread leaves the take up arm, the next thread guide is notched on the side nearest you. Thread will slide into the guide through the notch. No need to insert thread from above. Again, please see the Stylist 457 manual. Google to locate on line. BTW, once the bobbin winder has made a few turns, clip off the excess thread that was being held when winding started. Hope someone finds this information to be useful. FWIW, I have a Stylist 457. Purchased it new in May of 1970. Did had to replace the vertical shaft gear, as many others have had to do in the last few years.

'unspooling counter clockwise"???????? What does this really mean--turning the bpbbin or direction of thread coming off????

Thank you so much! The darn tensioner always is troubling. Sewing masks for Covid-19...

I'm glad I could help! Nowadays I just set the tensioner to 4 (the same as the bobbin tensioner on mine) and never mess with it. I've found an easy shortcut to setting the tension: do a zig-zag stitch, and make sure both the top and bottom threads make an equal zig-zag. If the top tension is too tight, it'll make a narrow zig-zag on the top by literally pulling the bobbin threads up to the top of the fabric. I hope that makes sense!

Thank you for this tutorial. I inherited one years ago but I’m just now becoming brave enough to try it. Do you like using this machine?

Thank you so much for this helpful video! I followed your steps exactly, but the loop of thread from the bobbin isn't getting pulled up at the end. Any tips?

@natalie5947 4 жыл бұрын

Hannah Janoowalla Try sewing a line on a piece of scrap fabric. If it doesn't catch at all, and if the bobbin is threaded correctly, then there's a chance that the Timing of the machine might be off. That means that the part that the bobbin goes into isn't properly hooking the needle's thread. That was a problem with mine originally, because somebody had replaced a gear in it and not aligned it right when they put it back together. Sadly fixing the timing is a bit complicated, you have to take the bottom off and unscrew some stuff for it. But there are several guides online, at least. Again, I can't guarantee that this is what's causing your problem, but it's something that you might want to check.

Mine just sewing needle holes and not sewing.

@natalie5947 2 жыл бұрын

It sounds like the needle's thread is not catching the thread on the bobbin. You may need to make sure the bobbin is threaded correctly, and if that doesn't work, you may need to make sure that the timing on your machine is set correctly.

I just opened up my Singer 457 a few days ago. I can not get the tension corrected. It is way too loose. I took the bobbin case out and loosened the screw. The sticking is all loopy on the back side. I had the machine repaired about twenty years ago and had the belts replaced. I used it about three times afterwards. It is very clean inside.

Can you tell.me what size of bobbins and needles this model takes?

@natalie5947 2 жыл бұрын

The bobbin I measured to be 20mm wide and 11mm thick. The needles seem to be standard machine needles. Singer calls them "style 2020" on some of the old packaging I have lying around.

where can i find the make and model of my singer sew machine?

@natalie5947 3 жыл бұрын

It depends. Mine says so on the front plate which has stitch adjustments. It may alternatively be on the side, by the wheel, or on the bottom.

Where's the back stich button

@natalie5947 4 жыл бұрын

Mary Perez The vertical lever on the bottom right of the control panel is the stitch length selector. It goes from 6 stitches per inch forwards, all the way to ~8 switches per inch backwards. So you just move it until it's feeding backwards, to get the machine to back stitch.
