Your Singer Genie 353 may be making noise but not sewing due to a few possible issues:
1. Broken or Worn Gear: The machine has a plastic gear that can wear out or break, preventing the hook from turning properly. If the gear is damaged, it needs replacement.
2. Feed Dog Fork Misalignment: The feed dog fork, which connects to the horizontal arm shaft, may be improperly positioned or obstructed, preventing fabric movement.
3. Gear Meshing Issues: If a gear was recently replaced, it might be too tight or too loose. Adjust the large gear slightly to ensure it is snug but does not create excessive resistance or looseness.
4. Needle Bar Height or Timing Issues: If the needle bar is not set correctly, stitches may skip or the machine may not sew at all. Lowering or adjusting the needle bar and rechecking the timing could help.
Check these components and adjust or replace them as needed.

Your Singer Genie 353 may be making sewing noises but not stitching because the top gear, which is made of plastic, may have deteriorated and broken over time. This gear is essential for the hook to spin and form stitches. If it is broken, the machine will not sew. Replacing the top gear is challenging because it is located below the main horizontal arm shaft, which obstructs access.

If the bobbin and needle threads do not meet to form a stitch on the Singer Genie 353, possible causes include:
1. Incorrect Threading: If the top or bobbin thread is not threaded correctly, the threads may not lock properly. Re-thread both using the correct path.
2. Needle Issues: A bent, dull, or incorrectly inserted needle can prevent the hook from catching the thread. Ensure the needle is inserted flat side back and pushed up fully.
3. Timing Is Off: The needle and hook must be synchronized. If the timing is off, the hook won’t catch the top thread. This requires professional adjustment.
4. Bobbin Case or Hook Problems: A damaged or improperly seated bobbin case or hook can prevent thread pickup.
5. Wrong Needle or Thread: Using incompatible needle sizes or thread types can affect stitch formation.
6. Tension Problems: Incorrect thread tension can stop the threads from forming proper stitches.
Check each of these areas to identify and resolve the issue.
