Thank you! I have a 401M and watched a couple videos how to thread and i could not figure it out but no one explained it as they went. This was so much more helpful!
Also I've just realised my tension dial doesn't seem to move the discs in like my 185k so I'm going to have to find someone that can rearrange them so it works 😮💨
Thank you so much! I rescued a 401A yesterday and unfortunately, the manual had been lost. I cleaned, oiled, & lubed this jewel and thought I'd have to replace (yikes) the tensioner until I found your video. Hooray! Success! The stitches on this machine are beautiful. Really appreciate your help.
Hi! I have a 401 and the stitch from the needle is okay but the bobbin one is not looping with the needle...have cleaned, oiled, rethreaded, change bobbins and same problem persist...any clue, advice? Help!!!!
this is happening to my singer 401A as well. I've also serviced and cleaned and oiled and done the works but still the bobbin thread doesn't really want to work correctly. were you able to fix yours? what was the issue?
I have a sewing machine but not the same model and I have problem in the tension knob (this is) but not the same model and I do not understand well about how to adjust the tension ????
Tengo esa máquina pero al cocer me avienta puntadas con mucho hilo y se hace nudo abajo pero si alcanzo a ver qué es arriba por la aguja donde avienta ese hilo para abajo no se que hacer ya le moví mucho a la tensión y nada
I have a 401A...love it but i am making a bomber jacket for my daughter. I have never had a problem with thread before . I have my tension even on 0 and its not running through the tension discs. Yes im still very much a novice!!! Please help i don't know what I've done!!!
I own 3 401a. and I cannot understand why they all seem to want to ride at an 8-9 tension. I am not a novice to sewing, that's not a brag, just to state 20+yrs. in seamstress work. I also have about 10 other sewing machines. so why such a high tension in my 401s? I have wondered for a long time if the tension assembly was wearing out. I have successfully sewn with these machines, but cannot understand the tension being best set so high.
were you able to figure out the issue? I am currently having tension issues with my singer 401A. I can't figure out what it is! I serviced it and everything (myself with the help of TH-cam).
@@tatianaortiz9858 I too was having tension issues. I rethreaded the machine as this video demonstrates and now my machine is stitching beautifully. Hope you have the same luck. Mine is extremely happy at 5.
@@TheAdamsRib I am new to this machine and have correctly threaded it. I adjusted the bottom tension for the bobbin which is great. To me it seems like the top thread so those are a pretty tight looking stitch? Is this a normal look for this, I just can’t seem to get the tension on the top quite right.
Svp j ai la machine 401 g depuis 45 ans tout va bien sauf le petit bras rouge pour changer le sens de l'aiguille ne marche plus il n est plus dans sa place et merci d avance
You just saved my pocketbook and my sanity! Now it's time to sew!!!!! Thank You 😘

thank you for this-- was definitely confused looking at the manual! wonder how sewists in the 50s figured this out without youtube 😂😂
Spent ages trying to get the tension right and it’s now perfect after watching this video- thank you!!
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm using a Singer 401G for the first time and couldn't quite figure out what I was doing wrong.
Same here, also have a 401G, haven't used mine in years and never fiddled with tension. Problem solved in a few minutes. Thank you!
Thank you. I needed this for getting a Singer 401G to stitch properly. Couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong
