Now test to make sure the timing is correct and then when it is, re-assemble the machine. If not turn the bobbin area till the hook is in that position. When the needle is at that point check to see if the hook is right behind it. Next, turn the hand wheel towards you until the needle is lowered all the way.Īfter that check to see if the needle is sticking out 3/32” and that is 2.4 mm. Slowly spin the hand wheel and watch to make sure the needle goes down and up once while the bobbin mechanism spins twice. Double-check to see that the bobbin and bobbin case has been removed. Your timing area should be exposed now so get ready to adjust the hook and the needle. Now unhook the feed mode switch linkage and again be careful not to break anything.Īfter that is done remove the cover from the bobbin area. Make sure not to break any plastic piece and watch the cables. The way to solve this problem will take a little time.įor a Pfaff 2030, you need to remove the foot holder, the foot, and the feed plate first. The needle has to be at the exact spot at the right time to pick up the bobbin thread. In this case, it may be that the timing on your machine is off. If those elements are present you should change the thread. Finally, check to see if the thread you selected is smooth, not too large for the needle has no knots. Re-insert your needle if the third issue is the source of your problem.Īs always check to see if the bobbin and bobbin case area are nice and clean. Replace the needle for the first, second, and fourth issues if those are the problems.

Those are 4 questions you should ask yourself when searching for the problem. Is it the correct one for the machine and fabric? Is it in the wrong way? Is it inserted correctly and all the way? Is the needle dull, bent, or broken? Then if that hasn’t solved your problem, check the needle. If those are not aligned right, you could have some problems. On some machines, the bobbin has a little notch on it that needs to match up with the little notch on the bobbin post. If you did not wind the bobbin correctly then you will have bobbin problems. These can be plentiful and it may take a little time to find the exact problem but check with how you wound it first.
