The machine won't work if not in correct order. Believe me. Many times a screw up or mistake is because of not following the directions. Sewing machines have those books too.

What is the purpose of a bobbin in a sewing machine?
A bobbin winder is the part of a sewing machine that takes the thread from a spool of thread and winds it on the bobbin. The sewing machine bobbin is a mini-spool of thread, made of plastic or metal, that holds the thread that will be on the underneath portion of your fabric when you sew. The top thread comes from the spool of thread and the thread on the bottom side of your fabric comes from the bobbin. Instead of winding the thread on the bobbin by hand, long and tedious, the machine will wind it for you if you load it up correctly. Check your owner's manual for instructions. If you don't have a manual, do a google search for it by entering the name of your machine branch and the model # and it will probably find one. Also, any experienced sewer can show you how.

What is jamming in sewing?
When someone experiences a "jam" while sewing, this usually refers to their sewing machine "jamming" or locking up.A sewing machine has many moving parts. These can jam when fabric or thread gets caught in the parts, preventing them from moving. When the machine jams, it often makes loud straining or clicking noises as the gears attempt to keep moving.If your sewing machine jams, immediately stop sewing. Carefully move your fabric out from under the needle. If the sewing machine jams with the needle down, carefully jiggle the fly wheel (the hand crank on the right side of the machine) back and forth to loosen the threads. This usually works, and allows you to lift the needle. Clip the threads, and move your project out of the way.Unthread the machine by removing the top thread and the bobbin. Look for any stray threads in the bobbin housing, and remove them. Carefully rotate the fly wheel to check for any obstructions. These obstructions are usually around the bobbin and under the needle. If the fly wheel rotates fully without catching, then the obstructions have been cleared away. Re-thread the top thread and bobbin, and continue sewing.Jams usually happen when the sewing machine is not threaded properly. Make sure that your top thread follows the proper path, and is fed through the tension disks at the top of the machine. Check your sewing machine manual to make sure that the thread feeds off your bobbin in the proper direction.If you are still having problems with jamming in your sewing machine, oil the machine and replace the needle. The needle may be bent or have a bur that is causing the thread to catch, creating the jam. If, after re-threading your machine multiple times, oiling the machine, and replacing the needle, you still have problems with the machine jamming, take your machine in for service. The service tech will be able to find any problems and bring your machine back to working order.

How To Choose the Right Sewing Machine for Your Needs?
Choosing a sewing machine would seem to be a simple task. For most, all that is needed is a basic machine which will sew straight lines and do button holes. Yet, there are many different options available on sewing machines so before heading out the door to buy one, you will need to know what your sewing machine is to be used for. If you only undertake a sewing project when you have no choice, you may opt to go with a mechanical sewing machine. If sewing is your favorite hobby, then an electronic sewing machine may be more to your liking. When you have chosen to make this task your life work, a computerized model may be your best option. All machines make the standard running stitch using two different sources of thread. While the upper needle takes the thread in a downward motion into the fabric, the bottom thread catches this thread and loops it back up by use of a bobbin. A “feed dog” is what moves the fabric along to begin the next stitch. With a mechanical machine, this process will be controlled by a rotary wheel. In order to make adjustments to your stitches, you will need to turn a dial. This is a very basic machine and tends to be inexpensive. An electronic sewing machine is different in that you can control many functions just by pushing a button. When you use a model of this sort, you will be utilizing a number of motors which have different duties. Electricity is required for this model and they do tend to be more expensive than their mechanical counterparts. For extensive sewing work, your best bet is a computerized sewing machine. This model uses numerous motors to control all functions. A computer is installed to coordinate these tasks and make your job easier. If you often repeat the same stitches over and over again, this is the model for you. It will handle repetitive tasks with ease and your job will be much simpler as a result. Keep this in mind when shopping so you get the perfect machine for the work you will be completing.

Where do you go to appraise a tabletop Singer sewing machine 1940?
I have a treadle sewing machine from the 1920's and found a serial number on it and 'Singer' made this particular sewing machine. I phoned the sewing machine company and gave them the serial number. Unfortunately, the sewing machine was not worth much (it was in working order.) You have to be very wary when dealing with companies who put out the product and also the next step is going to an antique dealer with a picture of the sewing machine and the date it was made, but again I stress, be wary. You could also put your information onto: www.google.com Do your research and see what your sewing machine is worth. Then go to an antique dealer.
