Simes Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 I have a 29-4 Singer, but I'm experiencing problems with it not picking up. I wonder if anyone has any tips for fixing the issue? I understand that it could be a timing issue, is that a problem that can develop with use? I'm thinking it might be the thread and needle combination. I noticed if I reduced the needle size the problem improved a bit but still dropped every third or fourth stitch. I'm thinking about whether to get someone out to look at it but, haven't a clue who or at what cost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironplanet uk900 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Theres is a small grub screw in the side of the bobbin casement, you'll see a cut out and when you turn the machine the little screw comes into view in a certain position..... make sure this screw has not come lose, as this will cause that problem.
