I have a Janome 550e embroidery machine and am trying to find the total stitch count on the machine. But I can't figure out how to find that and there's nothing in the instruction manual.

Page 27 of the manual refers. (by the number on the pages, not at the top), use CTRL+F and type the word 'Number'.

Can I use a vintage singer 161103 zigzagger attachment on a 201 k machine?

No I don't think it will. That attachment is for a 'Slant Shank' machine like a 301. The K on the Sewing machine model number simply means it was built in Scotland. That means it is basically the same as most other 201's.

Singer Futura CE 150. I bought a used carriage unit attachment for it and the it drags really hard. It won't move at all while on the machine or when I take it off. Is there a way to fix it? Thanks

Question edited for clarity. Do you mean the embroidery unit. If it is secondhand and has been stored for a long time, sewing machine oil, or worse WD40 goes 'gummy'. You would need to clean all the out. WD40 is a good solvent, so spray, leave it to soak, spray again and agitate with a brush. The wash it all off with hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly and after a few days, lubricate metal parts with sewing machine oil and any plastic parts with a dry silicone spray like Jigaloo. Test Jigaloo on a flat piece of plastic first as it is also a powerful fast drying solvent.

Display does not light up on PFAFF 1475 CD

These instructions apply to PFAFF 1475 CD. They may also work for other machines. If you have some advanced electronic repair skills and tools, check the following: For 220 Volts models - there is a fuse next to the power input, make sure it is good. There is no such a fuse for 120 Volts model. If the fuse is Okay, you have to get access to the main circuit board by removing the bottom cover. Check the primary on the transformer for 120 V AC (220 V AC respectively). Check the secondary side for 5 V AC (luminescent display), 9 V AC (turns to 5 V DC by rectifier, 4700 micro farads capacitor and a 5 V regulator STI L387A) and 28 V AC (turns to 35 V DC by rectifier and 2200 micro farads capacitor. Pay attention to two soldered round fuses in series with the secondary 9 V and 28 V - both should be good. On the big capacitors you should have 9 V DC and 35 V DC. Common symptoms for bad small 22 micro farads capacitors next to the some of the IC's - there are 5 of these: These capacitors are in parallel with 5 V DC. ## All of the LEDs light up but the display is blank ## All of the LEDs light up, the display is blank, and after a minute no LEDs at all ## No LEDs nor display. Replace ALL five 22 micro farads capacitors using a good desoldering pump or desoldering station!. Enjoy your resurrected PFAFF 1475 CD machine!!! I just did this procedure on my aunt's one (Made in West Germany around 1990).

My Empisal EM250 not sewing in zigzag

The spring needs to go back to where it came from. Unfortunately there is no parts schematic showing all the parts and where they go. You will either have to look inside for evidence of where it was, or take it to an Empisal service centre. https://www.google.com/search?q=Empisal+EM250+parts+schematic and Zig Zag fix videos https://www.google.com/search?q=Empisal+EM250+not+sewing+in+zigzag ..

Led light does not work. how to replace led light on singer 14sh654

I believe the newer machine lights need to be replaced by a technician. You can check on getting some of those LED light strips that can be added to the machine instead.

Riccar Reliant 58 top tension not working. I have taken top off and removed the plate that houses the tension plates and dial. Can't get it back on.

No one has documented stripping and replacing the top tension discs and spring. In normal circumstances, no one ever takes them apart. Take the bag of bits into a sewing machine repairer and have the machine cleaned, serviced and timed. https://www.google.com/search?q=Riccar+reliant+58+top+tension+strip+down ..

My Elna Stitch Craft 4000 sews very small stitches even after I adjust the length?

It sounds like there might be an issue with the settings or mechanism of your Elna Stitch Craft 4000 sewing machine. Even after adjusting the stitch length, if it continues to sew very small stitches, there are a few things you can try: 1. **Check the Stitch Length Dial**: Ensure that you are adjusting the stitch length dial correctly. Sometimes, the dial may not be turning properly or may be stuck, leading to the machine sewing at the same small stitch length regardless of your adjustments. 2. **Clean and Oil the Machine**: A sewing machine that hasn't been cleaned or oiled in a while can have issues with stitch length consistency. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to clean out any lint or debris from the machine and oil the necessary parts. 3. **Inspect the Feed Dogs**: The feed dogs are responsible for moving the fabric through the machine. If they are not functioning properly or are obstructed, it can affect the stitch length. Check for any debris or damage to the feed dogs and clean or replace them if needed. 4. **Check the Bobbin Tension**: Incorrect bobbin tension can also cause irregular stitch lengths. Make sure the bobbin is correctly threaded and that the tension is adjusted according to the machine's specifications. 5. **Test with Different Fabric and Thread**: Sometimes, the type of fabric or thread being used can affect stitch length. Try sewing on different types of fabric with different threads to see if the issue persists across various materials. If none of these steps resolve the problem, it may be necessary to have the machine inspected and serviced by a professional technician. They can identify any underlying mechanical issues that may be causing the small stitch length problem.
