nessa12 4 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Fantasia Automatic 968 has now got top stitches with bird nest. I also cleaned out bobbins and oiled it. Further, I changed my needles and have changed the thread too. I am dreaming up about its tension. I acknowledged anyone's opinion regarding this matter.

denpopov 8 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's appearing like old version of embroidery and I am bored with its name. I even had never heard of it. I tried to call local singer but they are not able to help me. Quote Link to comment https://forum.embroideres.com/forums/topic/261-loving-this-singer-fantasia-automatic-968/#findComment-1297
nessa12 4 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Pop! It is quite old and made up metal and interestingly knobs are made of plastic. It is only having foot control and does not have on or off switch. I would say, annoyingly, back to the age of industrialization.

AlexAbramov 10 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 This is the issue probably associated with the bobbin. You should always make sure that the bobbin is going through the tension from left to right. You just need to tight the screw of the bobbing housing via turn method. Old machines have stuff like 'U'. And, please carefully look that threading is passing through this U or not. If you did not see, you have to look carefully it may have broken.

lindarnold 6 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I basically love in working with those old-fashioned machines. I am always ready to help and I would have been even overwhelmed if I was there to help you. My mom is also very much interested in this old type and she got kenmore from a shop on $20. Initially, it has stitching problem. But, after cleaning it is ok now. Quote Link to comment https://forum.embroideres.com/forums/topic/261-loving-this-singer-fantasia-automatic-968/#findComment-1302
nessa12 4 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Upper tension guides are available in the singer dealer shop. I have to look on my Bill for buying this machine. Really, this machine drags me in the memory of 30 years ago but I am not mocking. I am using 35 years old machine and owning more than 20 years. It really had repair shop. I saw the one last year.

nessa12 4 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 You should figure out the piece of broken plastic and go for replacement. You probably get awesome machine after it.
