Singer sewing TROUBLES

I have one!!

What kind of thread are you using in your bobbin? I used a heavy thread once and it freaked out. I only embroidered a few times with it and when I first got it I used regular sewing thread (because that's what I had and I wanted to play with it NOW). I bought a heavy embroidery thread and it freaked, so I went back to using regular thread and haven't had any problems. But like I said, I don't embroider an aweful lot.

Also, every now and then it beeps at me and stops sewing. I get 7 stitches in and it beeps & stops. Weird. I just take the bobbin completely out and put it back in and it's fine.

I have to say I really love mine. DH got it for me for xmas. He told one of his friends at work what he was getting me and the guy ended up getting his wife one too. She loves hers too.

Just plain ol embroidery thread. It's done this since day one... also needle breaking constantly. I've had it repaired for this several times. I've had it since Dec 15th and only successfully sewn or embroidered ONE thing b/c it acts up. So sad I called Singer again and they said basically it's user error, ie my fault. Made me feel crappy. Also, the repair center is telling me stuff like oh your toddler must have messed w/it or you have to be doing something wrong... it breaks for them too so I don't know what the deal is. I just wonder at what point will the do something more to replace a part or fix.

It's not breaking b/c of the needle or fabric - it's the needle hitting metal. It did it in the shop too and they just adjusted it and then they sewed for a bit and eventually it would break again & they'd readjust something internally. They showed me from start to finish what I needed to do & I even said "Watch me to make sure I am doing it right" and then they said yup you got it.

I had DH try it, MIL, neighbor, and me... breaks everytime.
