| My Mom's old Singer Zig Zag 457 stopped working and I am trying to fix it. She needs to finish lining her curtains. Better late than never. I hope someone here can help.
The bobbin stopped spinning. I flipped the machine over and took off the bottom plate. You see this (I removed the belt):
The wheel under the bobbin turns freely. The wheel on the right, that is turned by the motor, feels like it is spun.
How do I take it off? There are no screws. What is it called, so I can order a new one? Sorry that I don't know the termanology. I hope this makes sense. Thanks, |

| There is a 'wefixit' group on yahoo that is great for singers and other brands. Good luck. A problem like your Mom's is what led to my machine collection. LOL! |

| My Touch 'n Sew died in the middle of a Christmas project with symptoms much like yours. I took it to the sewing machine repair shop and he said because of its age and use, there was finally a stripped gear, which he showed to me. He charged a small fortune to fix and totally overhaul and gave me a loaner. I didn't want a new machine so overall I was satisfied and it works great now. |
