Adler 67 Bobbin Thread Pickup

[carolb]

Success! I mentioned all the things you folks were suggesting to my husband. Today while I was out of the house he looked up "how a bobbin works" on the internet so he could understand what it was supposed to do - he has no sewing experience. He then removed the lower bobbin mechanism and cleaned it all. He said there was a lot of thread jammed in there. He checked to see how it all worked and then adjusted the needle height so it would line up properly with the bobbin. He opened up the machine to adjust this - not just the needle and the screw to hold it in place. It works! When he looked at it last night I was hovering over him and giving too much advice:....... - he said he just needed some time by himself to study how it all worked and fixed it. Thanks so much for all the help folks!

97% of the time it is threads that jamming the bobbin house. A manual, some directions and some time to think, voila.

Hello there.

 

please help! I am new to all of this. I was winding a new bobbin but didn’t take the old bobbin out of the bobbin holder. As a result all of the thread from the old bobbin has wound itself round the base of the bobbin holder. I can see it but can’t get to it or remove it.

 

what should I do. I can’t find anything on the internet that is helpful in the slightest!

also is there any way to release the needed from going up and down when winding a new bobbin full of thread.

thanks

 

Having read these posts, it is definitely thread under the bobbin house. How do I remove the house?

@Uwe has a great video that I used for this I'll post the link shortly

, It's not the exact same machine but I was able to remove the parts to get the thread from underneath and reassemble using this vid, I have an Adler 67-273

Also as mentioned above, with the clutch machine there is a chance with a jam the clutch has popped, it's under the machine on the right side of the shaft, holding the clutch and rotating the hand when toward you should allow the spring loaded ball bearing to pop back into place, let me know if you need pics etc
