We looked inside the foot controller and also took off the receptacle to take a look, but everything is so clean and new-looking that it seems hardly worth the trouble to remove and examine the motor also if we don't have to (plus risk having a bear of a time taking it off and reinstalling it). It fades quickly and I have read this is normal (old dust burning off?) but I was just wondering if you had any input. The other thing is that the tension discs/ thread guides are not completely tight on the machine - I am not sure if there is a bit of play naturally since this is the first Singer I have used.Īlso, there is a faint vapor/smoke that comes out of the motor area when I start to sew and it has a bit of a plasticky smell.
How to thread a bobbin singer 6211c manual#
I have a couple more questions if you have some time: the +/- indicator on the tension indicator dial is not pointing due north as shown on the manual - does it need to be? It doesn't seem to be moveable by hand and I would like to avoid disassembling the tension apparatus if it is not necessary (seems to adjust the tension fine anyway). Thanks for clarifying that the numbers are arbitrary I was a bit worried about having to increase the tension - on my Elna Grasshopper, I keep it close to 0 for normal sewing as the manual indicates and it works just fine. The loops are on the bottom, so I adjusted the top tension a bit and it did make a difference. Thank you so much for responding and for your help with figuring out the tension I really appreciate it.
