ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.พ. 2025
- Does your thread always break on your Singer Futura embroidery machine? Is there too much tension when you pull the thread through the needle?
Watch this video for thread setup tips.
UPDATE: Martelli Kwik Spin is still in production. Different design and color.

Plastic clips I added to my machine are by 3M called Fridge Clips.

Thank you for taking the time to address all these issues for us! Singer should hire you! 👍🏻👍🏻
I agree 100% with Terry Allard...thanks!
Just wanted to say thank you for all the useful tips on threading. But, where did you get those great clear clips placed of the handle of the machine to help feed the thread?
Terry Allard I agree with you Terry Allard. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK, YOU! This man may have saved me from going insane.
I understand your being “tongue tied” from frustration. I have had total “meltdowns,” screaming things that I had to pray about, and my husband thinking he might have to have me “committed.” 🤣🤣🤣
THANK YOU SO MUCH! There is little to no info about these machines and your setup SAVED me!!!
I agree! I’m a sewing machine repair tans I’ve had to make solutions on my own with no help from so called customer service! Thank you for what you do.
Many rhanks for the futura videos. Id given up and now with your tips Im back to loving my xl. And sewing. Ive also ordered another bobbin holder. THANK YOU.
*** UPDATE ***
Martelli Kwik Spin is still being made. The design and color have changed. Contact Martelli Notions.
In the Futura software when you are given the pictures of each embroidery step on the right and the picture is on the left, you can click, hold, and drag the step pictures to different spots in the step side. This gives you the ability to begin with the closest step to the needle instead of the furthest step from the needle. You can also click highlight a step or multiple steps and then drag them to whatever number step you want them to be in. I just got the Futura SEQS 6700 that I have literally been sitting/hoarding the money for waiting for someone to sell one at an affordable price for me and after waiting over a year and a half I finally found someone selling one for $550 plus he included a while garbage bag full of different stabilizer rolls, temporary adhesive sprays for embroidery, over 60 different spools of sewing and embroidery threads on small and large spools, all the extra tools he had bought, and all the extra accessories for the machine he bought. It was still in like brand new condition and very well taken care of. He even had it all set up for when I arrived to show me the machine worked perfectly. I couldn’t have gotten a better deal for this specific machine as it does sewing, quilting, embroidery, and serging so I only need one machine for everything. Only problem is I didn’t realize that you can’t download the software from anywhere online and must use the provided cd and my laptop didn’t have a cd drive. So I now have to try and find a laptop with a cd drive and hopefully the software works with windows 10 otherwise I may not get to use the full embroidery options and I will be very very sad. lol
Thanks. That was helpful. I'm frustrated with this machine also. A week ago when I used it, it was stitching well. Today bird's nests and I've tried every "cure" on youtube. I'll work on it another day. It is a frustrating machine.
Thank you SO much for your notes on where to thread the spools - I was placing regular spools of polyester thread vertically because I had thought that horizontally would be less stable, but you're right, when I pull the thread through the needle with the foot up, it is still a little hard to pull. I've been having top thread looping on top of my embroidery even after adjusting the top tension back and forth! I am going to horizontally load the spool and I'm hoping that that was my problem. :)
This singer futura is driving me crazy🤯
I believe you may want to add a tip to check the bobbin stop spring clip (for a lack of a better word). You show it in so many videos but I haven't heard you mention that the stop guide can easily be on the outside of the retainer causing the spring to miss function. This caused looping and skipping of the bobbin thread on my Singer 550. I still have missed stitches but not very many. I still have that retched bobbin noise but only half as much. Thank you for being so forthright on these machines as embroidery in the pinnacle of sewing in my opinion.
On these singers you can avoid the center start stitch by forwarding your stitch by pressing the needle up/down button and to back up several stiches push the reverse button. I have the 550XL and love it.
I have the 580 not 550
@@doreenkolacek168 thanks. It took 5 presses on the up down button.

If all else fails I wind a bobbin and feed from that up top. Like you did towards the end. The old school metal class 15 bobbins work best for me. I have a industrial bobbin winder that winds in seconds. I have it mounted below my thread stand on my Industrial machines table. But some spools just won’t work! Or if they work they’re such a pain. So I just wind a bobbin then use it on the spool pin with a spool cap up top as you did.
You talk about not having flaws in the better machines you would buy, what embroidery and sewing combination machine would you buy ?
I have this machine I have had bobbin tension problems foe a long time do you have any Idea How I can fix this
I'm having trouble with the upper tension assembly. When the tension is set to 2, the thread isn't moving freely, and it is breaking the needle (because of tension inthethread) when there is a movement in the software.
If nothing in all of my Singer Futura videos help you then it is time to take it to the local repair shop for servicing.
Hi Christopher love you video. Could you tell me the tread stand you recommend? Also do you have link to any of those thread helpers that are still available. Thank you.

hello I am having a horrible time trying to embroider with my 10 year old singer futura ce 250. I've updated the software and looked at MANY you tube videos I can get the computer to send the trace feature but no design shows up. I can't figure out what I did wrong. I used to use this but haven't for at least five years. Any way you can help me out???? Please.
Do know anything about only using a J bobbin for this machine
What thread do you use? Is it 40?
Nice quality product
thank you Cristopher!
I have to say, I have owned a Brother HE240 (Cheaper machine), but the customer service and ease of use for it was far superior to Singer. I love my XL420, but I would never buy another Singer embroidery machine again.
Can fix knee lifter for futura xk400
I need help, my machine is showing error 1.
Thank you for sharing
I have the Futura XL 580 and the automatic cutter is making a weird noise when trying to cut the thread and the thread is not cut!!! I wondered if you could do a video on this sub just please?
Do anyone know why the error showing the wheel comes up when the needle goes down. I have yet been able to make not even one stitch. Brand new machine and can't make a stitch without the error message. Can someone help please.
the error message will have a number - google it.. it might be as simple as the spool thread is wrong? have found that the spool is set for finer thread, like bobbin fill? good luck
