rookie Report post Posted April 6, 2009 Did you find ALL of the broken needle? and reset safety clutch if you have one.Art Yes I did. I have a servo motor, will that make a difference? Is the safety clutch on the sewing machine or on the motor? I am new to this machine, please bear with me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted April 6, 2009 Safety clutch is on machine IF that model has one. Check that your hook makes complete revolutions when you handwheel the machine. If not, safety clutch reset will be the big round chrome "button" just to the right of the needle and needle plate. Make sure there are no bits of needle in the machine. Art Yes I did.

It seems like the needle on the down stroke is not in time with the hook on the bottom. Not real sure, but that is what it looks like to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted April 6, 2009 It probably needs a reset, push the button and crank it through. Art The hook does make a complete revolution, and I retrived the entire broken needle.
