Strange question, but anyway if the needle breaks off with no thread attached, it could go flying off any which-way. Check the floor around the machine and the table on which the machine is placed...and your lap, and anything else in the vacinity.

If it breaks during sewing (that is, with thread attached through it's tip), it will likely remain attached and end up thrashing around in the bobbin holder. It could also end up there with no thread attached, so, in either case, check the bobbin holder first.

There are lots of different reason, like the tension or alignment could be off. You can use Sewing and Craft Corner for troubleshooting.

Sewing needles can break for multiple reasons. They can break because they were bent, they hit a hard surface, or were low quality.

Can you do the top stiching on a quilt with a regular sewing machine?

No, you dont need a sewing machine to sew but it is better to have one as they are faster. if your not bothered about the speed of your work than you can always hand stitch. The stitches would probably be more accurate with a sewing machine but the only main difference is the speed.


How much is a 1961 lady Kenmore sewing machine worth model 89?

It depends on which model.


How do you find out what year a Kenmore sewing machine model 17891 was made?

That's the same model that I have and I got it in the fall of 1985; shortly after I was married! I don't sew often and it just quit working for me recently. I am paying $167 to get it all cleaned and repaired. I hope it's worth it. They said it was a nice model.

What are the 2 kinds of sewing machines?

There are four different types of sewing machines. They include mechanical, electronic, computerized, and manual sewing machines. The type you choose depends on the features you want and the sewing project you are working on.The 3 sewing machines I can think of that are readily available on the retail market are: basic sewing machines, Serger machines, and embroidery machines.Brands of Household Sewing Machines:Bernina Sewing MachinesBrother Sewing MachinesSinger Sewing MachinesHistorical chronology for sewing machine features:Manual with foot pedal, not run on electricity but from using your foot on a metal grate; bobbin and spool were both outside the machinevery basic electrical sewing machine, with electrical foot pedal - these continued to evolve; most had very few features, just forward and reverse stitching; bobbin moved to inside the machinaddition of different types of sewing "feet" to allow zig-zag stitching, hemming, work on sleeves, narrow pant legs, etc.addition of more knobs that permitted different types and lengths of stitchesvery fancy computerized machines for embroidery and quilting stitching through batting (but quilt tops could be made on the most basic of machines)I still have a Montgomery Ward Sewing Machine, a popular and top of the line basic machine sold in the early 1970s.
