Im glad my video was able to help you with you machine. Keep it oiled and make sure your upper thread and bobbin tensions are balanced and this machine will work wonders.
Hey thanks for watching my video. You have to put the thread in one hole of the side of the shuttle and then place the thread behind the tension plate and up into the hole on top. here is a video from a fellow Ytuber that show how to thread it. th-cam.com/video/nYzNCf6x-yI/w-d-xo.html
Hey MJ, Thanks for watching my videos, Ok so the magnets are there to help guild my stitching line and help me stay straight, you measure the distance between the needle and the magnets and they will keep you in line, just make sure they are strong magnets or they will move on you. You can get a nice magnet from goldstartool.com heres a link to a better one. goldstartool.com/Magnetic_Gauge_G-35.html they also have a video on YT about guilds and magnetic guilds heres a link th-cam.com/video/gJXClTxgg5w/w-d-xo.html hope this helps.
Hey Andrew, yes all you have to do is tighten up the little screw on the bobbin/shuttle case, the little screw puts tension on the little plate which then puts tension on the thread, make sure the thread is behind that plate.
i guess im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Phillip Jaxson Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I just acquired one of these machines. After finally figuring out the correct bobbin positioning, was able to sew for practice. Problem is: able to sew about 4 to 5 inches and the upper thread breaks down inside the bobbin component. All thread paths triple checked and were OK. Both sides of leather used for practice showed good patterns and no knots or extra thread bundles. The thread just breaks. Have any idea what is causing such a glitch? The test thread used is that which came with the package. Could that be part of the problem? Have been using this material for practice and have local thread on hand for when I get a better grip on the use.
Hey Tim thank for watching my video. well lets see I never used the mono filament nylon thread that comes with the machine I use #69 bonded nylon thread. Now try tightening up the tension on both the bobbin and the upper thread tension knob sometimes it will sew right for a bit but then snaps it if the tension is off. Now if it still does it the mono thread could be bad. I say change the thread to a bonded nylon it should perform much better. this machine works only with high strength threads you can not use cheap cotton thread on this only nylon good brand that can be bought in any sew/fabric store is Coats and Clarks extra strong upholstery thread. In my experience in sewing when a thread pops it is do to bad tension or threading the machine the wrong way. Make sure the thread is threaded right in the bobbin and tensioned right. the thread should go through the hole under the little tension plate on the bobbin case then behind the plate and up to the hole right above it, it should have some tension but not alot if u pull the thread and it zips to fast then tighten up the little screw. Hope this works, let me know if you get the problem worked out.
The thread will break if the upper tension gets too tight. This can happen if the thread spool get hung up. If you are using industrial thread cones you must use a thread stand. Thread cons do not like the thread pulled from the side it must pull from the top. They sell thread stands for this machine on ebay.
Hey Tom, thanks for commenting. No I don't think it will work since the muyupai or chinese patchers bobbins are smaller, you will have to modify the bobbin winder on the babylock to fit these bobbin.
Hey I’ve been through all your vids, was wondering if you had any idea on why my thread keeps breaking. If it is burrs, i’m not sure where to sand down. If not, could it be the quality of the thread? Nothing ever sews as the thread breaks so quickly😩 Tension is okay I think!
Hey Nay T, Thank you for watching my video. Let see, for thread I use #69 bonded nylon, nylon and polyester threads are best in these machines, for thinner work you can use #46 bonded nylon thread with a size 14 needle and a size 16-18 needle for the #69 thread, once you have the tread then you will have to fine tune your tension top tension must be equal to bottom/bobbin tension, now also look at the top tensioner wrap a piece of thread around it long enough to pull on both sides and check to see if the tensioner is fraying your thread if so then sand or file smooth, make sure that you are threading the machine correctly and you thread the needle from left to right, make sure you needle is set right, sometime the needle bar on these machines are set to high by a mm or two so you can test it by dropping your needle down a bit and see how it sews, the needle should always peek out a bit from the bottom of the arm on its down position, and most of all you have to oil and grease all moving parts where steel meets steel so it moves smoothly, hope this helps, if all of this fails then you can join the facebook group that talks about all of these machines, heres the link facebook.com/groups/1646031288779869

@@nayt7357 Yes the needle can be adjusted either by loosening the needle holder and dropping the needle down a bit or if you have to adjust the needle bar its self, No the flat side of the needle should be against the needle bar/facing in.
hi the thread stand with the white base in the background top right of the video where did you source that from? thanks really helpful video many thanks
Hey ilan thank you for watching my videos. The thread stand came with the sewing machine i use in this video, but if you do a ebay search you can fine a similar one there. Here is a similar stand that will work. www.ebay.com/itm/1-Single-Spool-Sewing-Machine-Thread-Stand/290425093926?epid=4003840888&hash=item439eaf3f26:g:UVIAAOxyg6pRFq3q Hope this helps. Johnny
Assuming they are like the way I show it in the video, then check the needle maybe its to far up the needle bar, try bring it down a bit, also make sure it is a standard singer needle 15x1.
Ok put in a fresh needle and look at it when you turn the crank clockwise, check and see if the needle hole is down and matches up with the shuttle hook when doing a full rotation. If that doesn't work you have to post a video of it in use with the gate plate open.
Hey Andrew, yes the stitch length is adjustable. Its the little screw right above the bobbin just behind the head. It's a basic bolt it movies easily by hand. You can adjust it from 1mm-5mm in length.
Lets see, I would check the tension on the bobbin case/shuttle and make sure the thread is under the tension clip and place the thread in the first hole coming out on top of the bobbin case, loosen up the little screw a little bit at a time and pull the thread and see if it feeds smoothly, if it to loose just tighten the screw until its to your liking it must have some resistance, also make sure its timed is right, as the needle goes down the shuttle hook should be away from the needle eye when the needle just starts to go up the shuttle hook should be meeting the needle eye at around the same time to grab the thread if its not then place the bobbin case/shuttle the way I show it in my video, also make sure you only turn the crank clock wise. now if your bobbins are pretty rough like mines were then you should buy new ones I posted a link in one of my comment from where I bought my on ebay if not do an ebay search for singer 29k bobbins they fit the chinese patcher and your machine which is just a marketed name brand but its the same you can find parts for it on ebay or do a google search. Hope this works if not please make a video of it so I can see in details. Good luck let me know if you have any more questions.
Hey Mrubi Paz, thank you for watching my video, make sure that you have put each bearing in the proper placement in the crank wheel, also make sure that the nut that holds the crank wheel is nice and tight, sometimes while operating the nut loosens up and the wheel slides off a bit and derails the bearings from the tracks, now if all this is done and you still have issues, then make sure that the bobbin housing is moving freely, there are no rough parts in the crank wheel, or that even you bearings could be tight, make sure you file and sand all the sharp edges on the tracks, and any moving part that the thread touches and grease the bearing and gears with light automotive gear grease and use lost of 3in1 oil where metal touches metal.

Hey sorry to hear that. check the needle and make sure it is not to high up in the needle bar, also make sure its a singer house needle 15x1, There's a facebook group called China Leather Shoe Patcher the admin KR yoja she may be able to help you more, she also has commented on here below. Hope you get your machine running.
Hey man thanks, yes what I did was I smoothed out the presser foot with a fine metal file and some 320 grit sand paper. File it down until you're satisfied with the smoothness.
You have to take the foot off, it will make it much easier to file and sand down. Just remove the two screws that's hold it up and file and sand to your liking.
And is it possible to use thick thread for sewing leather??? While handstitching i normaly use threads up to 1mm. Waxed thread.. Is it possible to use this kind of thread.?
I would not recommend removing the shuttle tension spring, if the thread it too large it will rub against the hole and fray and break your thread and bind in your machine, I recommend only using the maximum thickness of thread which is #138 bonded nylon only.
Thanks big time. Stopped a lot of swearing and machine works perfectly

I note that your bobbin wobbles a little. There is a bobbin winder upgrade kit for the china patcher on EBAY it is supposed to fix this wobble issue
Hi.... Is it possible to adjust the stitch lenght with this simple machine?
Yes it is possible. There's a little bolt next to the foot lift lever that adjusts the stitch length.
The thickest thread you can use is #138 bonded nylon. you can not use that thick of a thread on this machine.

How do you use the magnet
I put my prank in position 12 o'clock and my shuttle carrier position 3 o'clock but my thread isn't picking up do you know what could be the problem?
Assuming they are like the way I show it in the video, then check the needle maybe its to far up the needle bar, try bring it down a bit, also make sure it is a standard singer needle 15x1.
Hey Ken did you fix the problem?
working on it now I've changed the shuttle carrier and the bottom gear and no luck so I'll try the needle
Ok put in a fresh needle and look at it when you turn the crank clockwise, check and see if the needle hole is down and matches up with the shuttle hook when doing a full rotation. If that doesn't work you have to post a video of it in use with the gate plate open.
