Questions and answers
Was given this machine and I can’t figure out why the bobbin thread doesn’t hook up with the needle thread. I always end up with a knotted mess. Do you have a tutorial video that might help me?
The document mentions an issue where the underside of the fabric is loose and won't stay together on a Singer 6234 sewing machine. This suggests that the bobbin thread is not properly engaging with the needle thread. Common causes for this issue include:
1. Incorrect Threading – Ensure that both the upper thread and the bobbin thread are threaded correctly according to the machine's manual.
2. Bobbin Issues – Check if the bobbin is inserted correctly and wound properly.
3. Tension Problems – Incorrect upper thread tension or bobbin tension can prevent proper stitch formation.
4. Needle Issues – A bent, dull, or incorrectly inserted needle can affect how the threads interact.
5. Hook Timing – If the hook timing is off, the needle and bobbin thread may not catch properly, requiring professional adjustment.
Checking and correcting these factors should help resolve the issue.

Model 6234, S/N N625303136. Was given this machine and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong when I try to get the bobbin thread to engage with the needle thread. I’ve read this part of the manual at least a dozen times with no luck.
To get the bobbin thread to engage with the needle thread on a Singer 6234 sewing machine, follow these steps:
1. Turn Off the Machine – Ensure the machine is off to prevent accidental movement.
2. Insert the Bobbin – Place a correctly wound bobbin into the bobbin case, ensuring it is threaded properly. The thread should unwind in the correct direction as indicated in the manual.
3. Thread the Upper Thread – Follow the threading path for the upper thread, making sure it passes through all necessary guides, the tension discs, and the needle eye.
4. Lower the Presser Foot – This helps maintain proper tension during thread pickup.
5. Manually Lower the Needle – Turn the handwheel (toward you) to lower the needle into the bobbin area.
6. Raise the Needle – Continue turning the handwheel until the needle comes back up, pulling the bobbin thread with it.
7. Pull Up the Bobbin Thread – Gently tug on the upper thread to bring the bobbin thread up through the needle plate.
8. Arrange the Threads – Pull both threads to the back of the machine under the presser foot.
If the bobbin thread does not engage, check for:
- Proper threading of both upper and bobbin threads.
- A correctly wound and inserted bobbin.
- A clean bobbin area free of lint or debris.
- Correct needle installation and no damage to the needle.
If issues persist, rethread the machine and try again.

Do I need to put sewing machine oil for smooth running of the machine?
