    I use a combination of all of those bobbins and cases on several machines yesterday I had a bent needle 💉🧵 I finally figured out why it would only do straight stitches it wasn't bent that much and it was hitting the top of the Bob and Chase on zig zag or any of the other decorative.
    I still like the flying shuttle machines like my Minnesota those bullet bobbins are cool especially to watch in slow motion

      I finally got it in. Found out the bobbin case holder was screwed in backwards so the needle did not go into the bobbin case hole. Once it was doing that smoothly I tried to sew but it sews a few stitches then breaks the top thread. When I tap the bobbin case it does have give a little. Is that what's wrong?

    How do you adjust hook/needle distance on the 31/331?

  • @dalesuhre6522
    @dalesuhre6522 Před rokem

    I have a class 31 sewing machine. According to the part numbers the bobbin case and race are for a 31-15. I was gifted a class 15 sewing machine but it had no bobbin case, hook or race with it. I removed the race, hook and bobbin case from my 15-91 and it does fit, but the race, hook and case from my 31 fits. Since both machines use a class 15 bobbin I'm wondering if that is the correct part for that 15 sewing machine. What's your opinion?

    Thank you Bob - found this video after an hour of trying to assemble the race back. P.S. - where do you buy the "Springy thingy" to position and start the small bolts? Thanks.

      You can get those on Amazon, but I like the better quality ones I get at Micro-Mark.

      Sim, isso deve funcionar, mas se a nova peça não for feita pela Singer, você pode ter problemas.

    bob do you know the place where to buy custom decals from PLAIN paper ?

      No idea Pavel. But try a well stocked hobby shop that specializes in plastic models, a lot of those guys make their own decals.

    Hi Bob, i bought a used machine and I can seem to get it to pick up the bobbin thread. I replaced the hook and race what can it be?

    • @BobFowlerWorkshop
      @BobFowlerWorkshop  Před 2 lety

      Hi Jocelyn. I had a Zoom call just this morning with another 31-15 owner about the same thing! It could be a timing issue, but I fear the hook you were sold may be a 15 series hook and not a 31 - there is a (minor) difference, and while a 15 hook MIGHT work, it doesn't always. Email me at argosybob@gmail.com and we can set up a time for a phone or Zoom call and we can discuss it deeper.

  • @debbiepring2236
    @debbiepring2236 Před 2 lety +1

    Hi Bob, I got it together and it sews now after I threaded the needle from left to right, but it bunches up underneath so what causes the thread doing that? Oh should the hook have any give?

    • @BobFowlerWorkshop
      @BobFowlerWorkshop  Před 2 lety +2

      If by "bunches up" you mean you're getting a rats nest of thread on the underside, that's an upper thread tension issue. Make sure you're threaded correctly and that the presser foot was raised so the thread is between the tension disks when threading.

    • @debbiepring2236
      @debbiepring2236 Před 2 lety +1

      The thread was loopy loose under so I tightened the top and it looked good on 4 thicknesses of plastic and I tightened the bobbin screw because it was very loose and thread did not syay under the plate. When sewing on rubber and plastic window it messed up. So you think it's a tension issue? Only problem is that I can't really practice on the window...it's like sewing on leather and leaves holes behind.

    • @debbiepring2236
      @debbiepring2236 Před 2 lety

      Also the short version manual I have is 8 pages and does not show how to thread. I go through one spool pin eye as a guide then wrap through the three hole guide, the discs, spring, horn hook, take-up lever, guides and then L to R through needle. I am missing the needle guide. I have it on order.

    Is the hook timing adjustable?

    • @BobFowlerWorkshop
      @BobFowlerWorkshop  Před rokem

      The answer is yes... and no... Yes, you can adjust the hook timing, and no, it's not as intuitive as you may like. I don't have a 31-15 to demonstrate on, but I can show on a 15-30 as the process is pretty much the same. Look for it in a future video.
