How to install bobbin in a Brother ls 2125 machine?

Question

Please help before I go mad!! I have just spent the last hour and half trying to install the bobbin in my machine. I have followed the instruction manual to the letter, but I am obviously doing SOMETHING wrong because it refuses to pick up the thread! if you can help please use idiot terms as I am a novice machine user...many thanks

Answer 1

If you feel you have followed the instructions and still haven't gotten anywhere; try checking your needle. Sometimes if the needle is put in wrong, the bobbin thread will not pick up. Good luck to you!

Answer 2

Check to see if yourbobbin thread is backwards.

Also, if your machine is computerized the timing could be off and that is too hard to correct on your own.  

My mom gave me her machine and it would go out all the time and I would have to have the timing fixed on it all the time.  Need to say it went out the door for some else to have that problem.

Answer 3

I think it's a drop in type with built in shuttle bobbincase so you open/remove plastic cover plate, then drop bobbin in pulling cotton through little grooved slot on left. making sure bobbin is turning anti clockwise as u pull thread, turn machine handwheel towards you until it picks up thread, pull up both cottons pulling them to the back under raised presserfoot then start sewing. If this still doesn't work, then your timing is out and will need looking at by an engineer, this is usually covered by a basic service (it is where I work)

Answer 4

I'm having the same exact problem and google hasn't found me a solution yet.  This may be specific to the 2125...

Answer 5

I had another machine with the same bobbin loading and what a pain in the butt it was to get that little bugger back in.  Unfortunetely, you have to keep trying, as that is the only way I managed to get it to work right.  I had another machine given to me and out this one went, bobbin carriage and all.  If you have the opportunity to get another machine(Singers are easier to thread, etc.), I would.  Nothing worse than a temperamental machine taking all of the fun out of sewing! Good luck.
