treadle Report post Posted July 9, 2011 have a used singer 29-4 machine, the operation manual we found online doesn't have good pictures, the fabric is not feeding, it seems that the foot is trying to move but it's not lifting, the foot is moving back & forth. where can I get a service manual? any help or suggestions would be helpful.

CowboyBob Report post Posted July 9, 2011 On the back of the machine on the end of the leaf spring for the foot pressure there's wing nut that goes into a triangle looking piece of metal this controls the foot lifting,the more you push away from the end of the spring the more it should lift up.

treadle Report post Posted July 9, 2011 thank you for the information. I move the wing nut & backed it off & it didn't change the pressure foot any. the machine will not feed the material, we've tried to find a service manual for it with out any luck.

CowboyBob Report post Posted July 9, 2011 you loosen the wing nut & slide the triangle piece towards the center of the machine.This pushes the foot spring up & down. You won't find repair manuals on machines because yrs ago Singer wanted you to call the repairman to fix it & alot of times you almost have to see the machine to know what's wrong with because some thing affect others & it's hard to explain it all.

amuckart Report post Posted July 9, 2011 Do you have any pictures of the machine? The top of the head end and pictures of the various stages of the stitch cycle would be handy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
