Questions and answers
Why doesn't the material feed thru when trying sew a straight line
If the material does not feed through on the Singer ATHENA 2000 when sewing a straight line, possible causes include:
- The feed mechanism may be obstructed by lint or debris. Clean the feed area with a soft cloth or lint brush.
- The presser foot may not be lowered, preventing proper fabric contact with the feed dogs. Ensure the presser foot is down.
- The feed dogs may be lowered or disengaged. Check if they are properly raised for normal sewing.
- The thread may not be properly threaded or tensioned, affecting fabric movement. Re-thread the machine and check thread tension.
- If the issue persists, the machine may require professional servicing by a Singer representative or an approved dealer.

so how do you tell if the feed dogs are disengaged?
If the button for the feed dogs continues to disengage, it may indicate that the feed dogs are not engaged properly. In this case, the manual advises contacting a Singer representative or an approved dealer for assistance.

will not pick up bobbin thread
The Singer ATHENA 2000 may not pick up the bobbin thread due to the following reasons:
1. Incorrect Bobbin Placement – Ensure the bobbin is inserted correctly into the bobbin case, with the thread drawn into the slot and under the flat spring as instructed.
2. Incorrect Threading – The needle thread should be threaded properly and held slightly with the left hand while turning the handwheel toward you to pick up the bobbin thread.
3. Needle Issues – A bent or incorrectly inserted needle can prevent the bobbin thread from being picked up. Ensure the needle is properly installed and in good condition.
4. Thread Tension Issues – If the thread tension is too tight or too loose, it may affect the ability to pull up the bobbin thread.
5. Machine Timing – If none of the above steps resolve the issue, the machine’s timing may be off, requiring professional servicing.
If the problem persists, contact a Singer representative or an approved dealer for assistance.
