Brother XL-5130 Mechanical Sewing Machine Questions & Answers
My bernina 750 zig zag width will not go past 1.6 why
It's not a problem it's a safety feature. The machine security is limiting your zig-zag width to protect you from using the wrong stitch plate. Go to the security program and touch the "!" icon and touch the desired stitch plate icon. Make sure you install the correct stitch plate with the wide slot for zig zag. This will allow width to be adjusted wider. See the 750QE manual page 35.
I have a Singer 2273
Probably depends where the break occurred. If there is still a piece of the spool pin in place, you can try slipping a piece of a plastic drink straw (like the drink straws at MacDonald's) over the remaining piece and using it as a spool pin. You may be able to find a handyman who can create an alternative. Or you can take it for service.
Needle not going all the way through
check that you have the correct needle
some machines use a needle with a flat side that correctly aligns the eye with the hook
and others just have a round needle that you have to take care in installing it
I suspect that your machine requires needles with a flat side if there is a small block stopping the needle from going in
read your operators manual or discuss it witj a sewing machine retailer
Needle will not stay in?
Buy a new pack of needles to make sure you do not have defective needles, if that doesnt work get a new thumb screw and if it still doesnt work you need a new needle bar.
How do I replace a spring on a brothers sewing machine
This is no exception, Please take your machine to a authorized repair shop to have the machine repaired properly. Note: Most machine manufacturers do not sell parts to the public! Ill repaired machines can be dangerous to use is most cases.

Brother sewing machine model XL-6562.needle holder came off rod.n
The needle holder has a screw right above the screw that holds the needle in place. It really doesn't look like a screw because it does not appear to have a slot for a screwdriver. However, with a small flat head screw driver you can tighten it up. There is also a curverd wire that must be inserted into a slot at the bottom of the holder. The screw tightens against the wire that tightens against the post. (It's a curved wire that curves around the front part).
