Help! My bobbin thread won't connect/ what happens in the bobbin when you have a timing issue?

- This video addresses the issue of the bobbin thread not connecting to the upper thread in the Brother sewing machine LX3817. I also show you what happens if the problem has to do with the timing of the machine.
I am showing only 2 possible solutions and hopefully one of these will be able the answer to your issue. I have linked a video by @LRN2DIY in the comments that I think does a great job at showing how to fix the timing, if that is the problem you are facing.
💜Hope to sew with you soon!

Hi everyone! I am sharing this video by @lrn2diy for those of you who are interested in fixing the timing in your machine yourself 👉🏾czcams.com/video/fzhR6PNlI4E/video.html
The timing on my machine isn’t off, so I didn’t make this video to show how to fix it, but I don’t mind sharing resources that may help.
How do you replace the whole bobbin holder or is it better to buy a new machine
@@geraleeparker1979 You can get a bobbin case on sewingpartsonline.com.
Thank you!
God bless you. I was this close 👌 to throwing my machine against the wall. Thank you for saving her ♥️
Right here with you
Nicholas Kinsman same
i am right there with you I purchased this in March and it has already stopped threading/pulling the bobbin thread through. I am at a loss.
Same here
SAME!! Thank you!
spent two days trying to figure out why my top thread wouldnt catch the bottom thread and this video was the goldmine for me!!!!!! Thank you so much
I have the same problem to so what do we do about it
I grew up watching my grandmother and mother sew and I literally can’t even start threading the needle on a sewing machine! Lol! But I’ve always wondered how the bottom and top thread “met” and made a stitch and no one has ever been able to explain it to make sense to me until THIS video! 40 years this has been the 8th wonder of the world to me. Lol!!! Now you have made me excited to learn to thread this antique sewing machine and learn to sew!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge - and for taking your machine apart! Lol!! You’re awesome!!
I'm glad this helped! I'm leaving this link in case you haven't seen these already. Hopefully these will give you a good start on your sewing machine. Take care! czcams.com/play/PLtL9D2hXyc1mPNbPn52SmPv_-SJvfo1hs.html
May God bless CZcams!
Just started using my sewing machine and immediately ran into this issue. I viewed several other videos, but this was only one that I found helped me resolve the issue. Thank you soo much.
Same! This is the 4th or 5th video I watched, I was in tears. But what finally helped was when she explained about the length of the thread from the bobbin!
Thank you SO MUCH! Like everyone else here, you have saved my brand new machine from certain DEATH! Being new to sewing has definitely been a challenge at 40 years old. I wish I would have paid more attention to my Grandma when she tried to teach me at a young age. You are a God send! This tutorial was amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with those of us who obviously have alot to learn! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (MY LX3817 says thank you too!!!) ❤❤❤
You’re welcome! I’m glad you haven’t given up on learning to sew. 😊
I was getting ready to buy a new one. I found you and I did what you said. I took the bobbin housing out, cleaned it all up and put it back and I'm back in business you a little while longer. Thank you❤❤❤
Girl you just saved me so much time. I’ve been struggling with threading it and watching so many videos and after an hour, still couldn’t figure out what was going on. 5 minutes of your video and I’m good to go!
Wasn’t necessarily the same issues but watching up close precise timing was what helped me manually set it back right I had it off by one click. No one had done a close up video of the exact drop and rise. Thank you so much!!
I have been staring at my machine for an hour, in tears, on the verge of throwing it away because I was so frustrated with my bobbin thread. I went to the Brother website, I googled, I CZcamsd. Couldn’t fix it. Then I found you and this video and 4 minutes in, my machine is working 🙌🏼🙌🏼 THANK YOU!!
Kirstyn, here’s a big virtual hug! I’m glad this helped. Happy sewing 💜
You are a god send! Been trying to figure out for awhile why my mother's sewing machine wasn't catching the bobbin and you demonstrating with the wheel coming around and the hook catching the needle's thread helped more than any I've seen thus far.
Yes! I struggled for 30 mins to get this bobbin to catch. You said to turn the wheel towards me and that was ALL I needed!! Thank you!!❤
Hi! I’m glad this helped.
This is the best suggestion for brother sewing machine bobbin threading. Good job. Concise and explanatory. Love it. Finally a good suggestion for this issue.
Thank you so much! very helpful information! I had no idea why my bobbin thread wasn't catching.
I'm glad my machine isn't broken .... haha
I swear you are my sewing guardian angel. If I'm ever having difficulty with this I watch the video and it works!❤
Aww, you’re welcome! Happy sewing.
You are a lifesaver!!!!!
The thing that worked was to turn the hand wheel towards me!!!!!
Thank you! I’m eternally grateful! ❤
this was SO helpful. i never rlly understood how the whole timing thing worked but the way u demonstrated it made it so clear to me. thank you!!
Thanks for all your videos! You have helped me understand so much about how the equipment works. I lost interest in sewing years ago because of tension problems. I lost my patience and the no internet to help me back then. I feel so blessed to be alive in this day and age!
Thank you! I have been sitting here all morning trying to get that stinking little thread to come up and you solved my problem. First time sewing, first time doing anything like this. Trying to make a mask for the first responders. So thanks for the very helpful video.
Laree, I came across your video because I had this exact issue with my Brother sewing machine of the thread not catching. Thank you so much for sharing this guidance with both possible issues; turns out, it was the first issue! Threading was short. Thank you so much!
Jw.fm hi! I'm so glad you were able to get your machine working. Happy sewing!
Im still having trouble. Idk what I’m doing wrong :(
Same 😕
Same
Thank You will check this out. My top thread keeps coming out of the needle immediately when I try to see.🙁. This is first time using. So frustrated.🙄 Will tune in again.🤗
Me to I'm still having the same problem with the thread and bobbin and then I took it a part and find no bobbin catcher on it so what do I do now
Waw! Thank you so much. All that i was missing is the trick of holding the upper thread in order to catch the bobbin . Best video i've seen so far .
OMGosh!! Thank you so much!! This drove me almost to the point of tears!! I love doing my own sewing and alterations but this had me tossing my machine and giving up!! Thanks so much for taking the time to help!!💗BLESS YOU!!
Linda G I'm glad this helped! 😊
THANK YOU!!!!! I have been fighting my darn machine for hours! I finally saw your video and I fixed all the issues!
First must say I very much like your videos. The camera work, narration and instructions are excellent. Hoping you make many more of your wonderful videos for us so we can be happy with our sewing machines of any brand. A feature I especially like about brother sewing machines is the "quick set bobbin" which allows to begin sewing without drawing up the bobbin thread when the thread is passed through the quick set groove and cut at the end. Page 21 of the manual explains about using the quick set bobbin feature and also about not using the quick set feature to draw up the bobbin thread as you explained as well for times when a long bobbin tail (with a long upper thread tail) is needed for sewing darts or making gathers.
Myra Thomas, thanks for bringing up the quick-set feature. I’ve used Brother machines with the quick-set feature and its pretty cool.
@@Sewintoitlessons Very cool and I love that feature on my own LX3817
Myra, you’re right 🙈. My machine, like yours, does have the quick-set bobbin feature. Thanks again for pointing that out! 😊
Hi everyone! My latest video was meant to be uploaded on the first Saturday of this month; however, I became sick last week and lost my voice for a few days. I am really sorry about the late upload. I am currently editing and I hope to have this video up this week. Thanks, guys, for tuning in to see my videos! I appreciate you. Hope to sew with you soon!
Laree Washington Hi could you possibly explain why the timing won’t move at all???
So i’m having a timing issue and i took mine apart and the needle and the hook aren’t meeting at the same time. how do i fix that so they’re synchronized?
Avery, please check the description box to for a video that demos the repair. Take care!
Your videos are the best filmed and content is succinct!! I call myself the "CursingCrafter" because every time I want to sew something... the machine has other ideas!! Thank you!!
😂 I'm glad these videos help!
Laree, you have given the best explanation I have ever seen of the way the timing hook works. Unfortunately, mine needs to go into the shop. But a hearty THANK YOU!
You are very welcome!
Thanks for the awesome video. I came to find out why my thread wouldn't pick up. Thanks to your link to fix the timing, I was able to fix my machine and was able to fix the split in my pants.
This is awesome! I'm glad the video and the link helped. Happy sewing!
Thank you! I've been having issues with the bobbin on my Singer ET-1, and I've watched several videos which all more or less suggest cleaning your machine. And I understand, but that's not my issue. Yours is the first one I've seen that addressed the possibility of a timing issue, and though I haven't been able to fix it, I'm pretty sure this is at least part of the problem. I'm very glad I found your channel.
Tracy, I'm glad this video helped you get closer to fixing the problem!
Ughhh, thank youuu for this!!! I've been struggling with getting back into sewing during this quarantine. been at it for HOURS and watched this and finally got it. Thank you again!
Big thank you!! I was about to take this machine back to the store. It was bought only 2 months ago. This vid saved me the stress. The thread was too short.
This was so helpful! My top thread wasn’t catching the bobbin thread and turns out I just needed to hold the top thread 🤦♀️. Thank you for the detailed troubleshooting!!
after 2 years, this video is still helping people! thank you so much for making this video!!
Philly Driver, thanks for sharing. This made my day! I'm glad it has been a help.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video , it just saved me from throwing my Janome away . A little patience and knowledge got me through fixing it for the time being . God bless you .
Lolita Wonder you're welcome!
You are a life saver! My thread was too short. Didn't use the cutter, and it worked immediately!
You helped me fix my Brother sewing machine! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! God Bless you sweet lady!!!
We watched so many videos & you by far explained it better & was abke to fux my bobbin problem. Thank you soooo much
I'm so glad this helped!
Been fighting my machine for 3 days an your video did the trick. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! I am a newbie who was having rough thoughts because my brand new machine wasn't picking up the bobbin. 😂 I made the string longer and am practicing stitches just that quick. Whew!
#GODBLESS
God bless you! I had been crying for 15 minutes because I couldn't get my machine working. I'm a little rusty and was having a block. then I realized I was spinning the dial the wrong way.... 🤦🏼♀️ it's been one of those days...
You stripped the machine down and put it back together.....at home.....alone?
You're a genius. I couldn't do that.
Thank you
SexyPapasmurf She didn't "strip it down" - that's just the shuttle race area where the bobbin case is. Get yourself a manual by Googling the brand of your machine and the model number. Most manuals are in pdf format and absolutely FREE to download. Print out and keep in a 3-ring notebook, and put it near your sewing machine for solving problems. It is a Bible for your sewing machine - a MUST!! 😊 Happy learning, Happy Sewing!! 👍🏽👍🏿👍🏾🍀
@@TheJudeJane hi! Actually, I did mention--quickly-- that I ”pretty much” stripped my Janome sewing machine. I talk about it more in a previous video. 😊
What you explained helped me and I don't even have a Brother. I have a Simplicity with a vertical, cased bobbin.
I have a Brother LX3817 and I have a problem with it that I can't find anyone else talking about anywhere online, CZcams, or anywhere else. I figured out that it's hard to catch the bobbin if you cut it to short with the cutter. So that's not my issue. My problem is that the bobbin thread doesn't seem to settle into the right position, once it does get caught by the needle. The needle catches the bobbin thread fine, but when I start to sew, the bobbin jams. I put it in, facing the right way. The thing is, I don't know anything about sewing machines because this is the first one I ever used since middle school. I see in this video, that when you caught the lower thread, it settled across the top left side of the bobbin, just like it does in my machine. And I see that it appears to be in that position in other brands of machines, as well in other people's videos when they're ready to sew. I wasn't sure if the bobbin thread was supposed to settle into that position until I saw in this video that it is. But on my machine, I've been having to use a dental pick and a pair of pliers to move the lower thread from the top of the bobbin, down to onto the right side of it. (I could probably use tweezers, but I don't have any.) If I don't do it, the machine jams. It's very difficult and annoying and I dread having to change thread colors because it takes forever and if I don't do it just right, then the lower tension is to loose. But if I do it right, the machine works fine. Does anyone else have this problem? Do you understand what I'm talking about? I hope my explanation isn't to confusing.
Hi! What’s happening with your bobbin is defiantly interesting. I actually just recorded a Q&A session with a certified sewing technician and we talked about issues with the bobbin and bobbin thread. We used my Brother LX3817 as an example. I hope the information there will be helpful to you. Be on the look out for that upload. Of course, there are situations that a professional may need to take a look at the machine. I would love for you to keep me updated about this issue, and I will definitely share any info I receive.
@@Sewintoitlessons Thanks for responding. What would really help me is if you would make a video where you show what the bobbin does after you load it and begin to sew. I want to see where the bobbin thread is supposed to go, once you've picked it up with the needle and are ready to sew, and then as you start to sew. I'm still not sure if the thread is supposed to sit on top of the bobbin, or wind itself around it. I know that as you're sewing, the thread goes up over the top of the bobbin and winds down around it. I'm just not sure what position it's supposed to start in. I'd like to see a video where you leave the cover off as you pick up the lower thread and begin to sew a few stitches. Point out where the bottom thread is before you start sewing and how it moves as you go along. You'd probably have to use a small piece of fabric that won't cover up the bobbin area, so it might be difficult to do. I'd really appreciate this because no one else has ever done it. I'm sure that whatever the issue is with my machine, it's probably something very simple that someone who knows what they're doing could fix in five minutes with a screw driver. But I don't trust the local sewing and vacuum guy in my area because I thought he was kind of rude when I had taken a vacuum to him and would probably charge me to much money.
Thank you! I was turning the knob forward, not toward me!!! I rolled it a bit toward me and it moved the bobber gadget! thank you so much!!!!!!
Omg you are amazing! Thank you so much for posting this for all of us very incredibly frustrated brother Bob and users! Thank you thank you thank you!
Omgggggf I’ve Been trying
To thread
For
2 hours and I finally saw your video and it
Worked
Right away wow TYYYY FOR
SHARING
😊 I’m glad this helped!
Very clearly explained and it really helped me as I was having the ‘cutting too short’ issue with my Brother machine. Thanks very much!
Thanks for the excellent video. Being a 10 year parachute rigger my sewing is more related to heavy sewing but it's nice to know how to keep up with the newer machines.
Keep up on these very educational videos
Oh wow! I was not aware of parachute riggers before now. Thanks for sharing.
You are an angel. I just caught this video and you saved me and my project. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Laree! 20 videos later and I found you and you explained much better!
You’re welcome!
Tfs❤None of these fixed my issue but after all the stripping and cleaning. ...I realised my needle was inserted wrong🫣, that fixed the problem😂😂 sometimes checking the basics would help save heaps of time.
You are brilliantly beautiful!! I love watching your videos 😁 I am sewing again 🎉
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Im a beginner sewer and I've been "fighting" with the bobbin thread!!! Whew...
I just found your video it helped me a lot was about to kick this machine out but you help me fix my problem thank you so much
BLESS YOU! My thread ran out and the bobbin thread as well and I was losing my little mind over trying to figure out how to get the new thread to catch! Thank you !
You're welcome!
I am having that problem on a new Singer model 2277 machine with the side loading bobbin and when I have time I will check the bobbin setup once more to see what I did wrong. Thanks for sharing this information with me and I appreciate the information you gave us.
Sidney, you're welcome!
Thank you SOOOO much for this video! I just purchased my machine 2 days ago and today during some sewing, I noticed my lower thread wasn't catching. I was so frustrated I was nearly in tears, I thought I had broken the machine. I found this video and I was able to fix the problem. Again, thank you so much, you are SO appreciated ❤
shantel martinez you are very welcome 💜
Omgggg I thought that I was going crazy. First time using my machine really no issues catching the bobbin. Ran out, refilled it and it wouldn't catch. Idk what I did the first time to get it to catch the bobbin, but this time holding onto the top thread off to the left od thr needle to keep the tension did the trick. Thank you!
Hi! I’m glad this helped.
PHEW! THANK YOU SO MUCH. You just showed me a new way to resolve the problem of my machine needle nit picking the thread.
I don't normally comment on videos, but they length the machine has you cut it to was killing me, thank you so much for showing this and keeping me from pulling my hair out more!
Hi! Thanks for the comment 😊. I’m glad this helped!
Thank you so much for this step by step and beautifully narrated clip xx
Oh Thank you so much for helping me fix my problem!! Your awesome!!
Thank you so much. I have an older model I'm using at work and after an hour of trying, your video helped me get it to work. God bless.
God bless! You're welcome! You sew for work? That's awesome!
@@Sewintoitlessons not all the time but today I am. I'm an insulator and so sometimes we cover our insulation with heat resistant fabric to create pads to wrap around hot pipes.
Wow, it's amazing how sewing shows up in so many areas of life. I can see, though, how the sewing might throw off your workflow. I'm glad these videos are helping.
Life saver. Thank you for taking the time to do this in detail. Very helpful. I am new to sewing and this was the key!!!
Lynn M you’re welcome! You may find this helpful...I am uploading a beginner sewing series 😊. Here is the intro video czcams.com/video/tyPwQGGr8NE/video.html
When I lower my needle to catch and bring it back up to catch the bobbin makes a clicking sound and still doesn’t catch 😣😣😣
Ty so much I was getting so frustrated your video saved me from a meltdown
Oh no! I'm glad this helped. Take care 😊
You're an absolute lifesaver! Secondhand embroidery machine was driving me nuts!!! And now I don't feel like a complete idiot for buying such an expensive thing secondhand :D :D :D \o/ Woo!
Thanks for the video you were the first one to say that we needed to spin it towards us, issue fixed 🙂
This was so helpful! Thank you so much. I couldn't have fixed my sewing machine without you.
You're welcome!
Thank you ! I fought this machine for an hour!
Omg. Thank you. I was so lost, it turns out that I was turning the wheel AWAY from me and not TOWARDS me. 😅 Thank you so much
Life saver 🙏🏾 I thought I had to get a new machine
My goodness, thank you so much! I was struggling with this bobbin and on my last leg until I came across your video. All I had to do was to turn the wheel towards me 😭😭😭
Whew! 😅I’m glad it helped!
Thank you foe the explanation about timing as I hadnt understood exactly what that meant. I bought the Brother LS14 from a friend when she moved but I dont have a manual so I am still figuring it out.
Thank you. I was needing this help. Angel for the beginners like me
You are awesome and super informative! You are an excellent teacher!! Thank you!
I didn't think that I would be so captivated on how the threading work. :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I just spent an hour trying to figure out what was wrong!!! I should have come to you first. 🙌🙌
You are wonderful💕💕💕. I was so flustered and I was about to give up, but thank you so much, cause you saved the day.
You're welcome! I'm glad this helped.
Awesome explanation. Now I know what to look for to get the machine to pick up the thread. Thank you!
The bobbin is such a mystery - you helped clarify some of that mystery.
Thank you Laree! You're an angel.
I’m glad this helped! 😊
GURL! Thank you sis! I was so pissed off at my machine I was so worried it broke since I hadn't had this issue until now
Thank you, very clear teaching, very helpful to see how the timing works.
thank you I finally got my bobbin and my top thread to work together
Excellent video! You are a skilled instructor. Thank you. Question: do timing issues need a professional fix?
Thank you! Personally, I would have my machine serviced if my timing belt needed repair. There are others who do it themselves. I linked a video with a repair demo in the description box.
Excellent explanation. Glad I found you.
I had the same problem with my Brother PE770, I did all these tweaks which are very well explained. My problem was an ever so slightly bent needle, carefully bent it straight and it grabbed the first time and im back in business.
William Mroczkowski, yes, a bent needle will cause problems. It's great that you were able to catch the issue!
Thank you! Your video was perfect. I will be trying your methods now!
HI! another problem you could be having (if your sewing has jammed before and you just cut the thread from the bobbin then and there without foreseeing that could be potentially an issue bc u were a beginner like me) take tweezers and pull out any small pieces of thread that may be blocking the thread from coming up. You ofc could take apart your machine and pull it out much easier but if you’re anything like me and know you aren’t very good at putting things back together then tweezers are the way to go!
Such a beautiful and competent woman. You just saved my life kid.
Merlin Falcon thank you! I’m glad I was able to help.
You’re a Saint. Thank you!
Girlll you are the bomb! Thank you, thank you, thank you! No question left unanswered! Well done!
Cashion Sikes, 😂 you're welcome! All the best to you on your sewing journey.
Omg! I just used my very first sewing machine last night and the bobbin thread too short was my problem...thank you for this video
Thank you SO much. After I took apart my machine I was able to see the bobbin case popped undone. Thank you!!!
I've been asking other U2bers if the bobbin, when coming over the top, should be to the right or the left, and getting no answers. Derp, counter/clockwise! Thank you for defining the obvious. I just couldn't find the right words. LOL
Thank you, thank you, thank you! My bobbin thread was too short! I have messed with this for 2 days! This was on my Brother XM 2701.
Nope. It helped but my thread is getting stuck in the bobbin case! So when I’m done sewing I can’t pull the material out from under the needle foot. I open my bobbin case and the needle thread is all caught up in there. There is a piece of loose thread too!
thank you for sharing! This was very helpful to see as I am just learning how to use a sewing machine
my mom always told me two heads are better than one thank you so much for this video god bless you and your famil and please stay safe once again thanks very much
Thank you! God bless.
