Why do 30% of pins pop out while knitting how to fix problem?

So many people have been complaining about this. It happens too me too. It's really just not made that well. You can glue it in I suppose, but as another person said in my knitting group "If I pay for something I shouldn't have to glue it, hammer it, nail it, together to get it to work properly." I have to agree with that.

I had a similar issue and found that I needed to adjust the little bobbing pin near the handle, it should be standing straight up at full pressure so try to use a pen to adjust it.

Yep, I push the upper and lower left corners at the same time and it just pops out.

My post (twine spindle holder) arrived completly attached (glued) in place to the base.get a nice sized needle that has a curve on the end for sewing up your goodies...I use mine all the time !

I had the same issue. The needles broke over & over and are not the easiest to change out. I ended up selling mine. Was very disappointed.

I think you have to align your Slice machine. Sometimes it does not goes back to the initial position and next time will do that.

Hi Sam, I had a similar situation with mine. I noticed it was getting a little loose. I opened the jaws of the pliers all the way and placed the head of the rivet on my vise and used a large centerpunch and "re-peened" the rivet. Since it is a stainless steel rivet it worked very well and hasn't loosened back up since then. You just need to make sure the centerpunch diameter is large enough so it won't just hit the center of the rivet. Hope that helpedKevin

I had the same problem when I first started using mine. Try rethreading and reinserting your bobbin and start again. Somehow my machine has stopped doing this, but I never figured out why it did it in the first place since my thread and bobbin seemed to be just fine.

have you tried pushing a sewing needle to through the hole in the wand to see if that will unclog it. Sometimes the wand can get clogged with milk remaining within it. Try this before writing this I checked mine and used a medium sized safety pin....I pushed the needle part into the exit part of the wand and it clears out any residue.

I'm not sure what is happening here. Could it possible be that the red and black pins are placed backwards? Are you able to turn the pins around and see if that fixes it?

It happened with me also, I started watching for the pin to start drifting out of place and any time that I noticed it starting to happen I used a pliers to push it back into place. I suppose that if it gets worse you could use a drop of super glue to secure It in place.

Your machine should be adjusting tension automatically....I would check your needle versus type of fabric you're sewing/embroidering, check to see if you have a piece of thread broken apart in the head of the machine that could be catching on your sewing thread. You can manually adjust tension by running the thread back and forth at the top rear...then, Thread the machine. check your manual or on-line for the description. If you are embroidering, be sure you are using quality thread. I've used less "expensive" & paid for it in breakage in the middle of the piece. Try slowing down the stitching speed & make sure you are using the proper backing for your fabric. You could still have thread caught in the bobbin case which could be exerting too much pressure on the top thread. I would try a thorough cleaning, vacuum.....your machine out....never blow it like a computer. The sewing machine has oiled, moving parts & blowing the dirty, dust, lint pushes it into the machine and eventually causes a sludge..... Check to make sure you haven't knocked the timing out.....if the machine increases in frequency of breakage, look at your bobbin case...make sure the needle isn't hitting the plastic instead of the hole ...sliding off into the bobbin. Goodness, I hope this helpS!!! All else fails, call Singer support...they are easy to work with...I've called them in e past. THey will walk you through maintenance to get you up and running. I love my 400!!! Use it all the time....one of three sewing machines.....I have a 43 year old brother I can't part with as well.. Good luck MMh

Take a thin flat head screwdriver and slip between gap and pop up. Once one end is up the rest will pop right off. Good luck

Hi I didn't find it so because I use glass headed colorful pins. But I also had put white material around the top because I have a Dcup, so either color I could see colored pins. Best wishes

Sounds like your spool of thread is on backwards or is not threaded properly.

The error is something I faced and wrote in my review of how to fix it. The problem is caused by miscontact with the reset board and the printer, which is mainly due to the plastic dots holding the board in place. If you feel the dots and notice one or more protruding, then just take a small file, or use your finger to scrape off the protruded plastic. After that, all should work fine.

No, I had no problem with the foot press or the bobbin. Try redoing the bobbin it may be in wrong since that happens at times.
