Can't get the needle plate back on sinner 8780

I have a feeling that your bobbin case is not properly seated, and it's easy to do. If it isn't, it will prevent the needle plate from seating properly.

There is a pointed part on your case at about 5 o'clock that must be resting against a spring in the same position. In addition, take a look at it visually; it is easy to put it in so it is slightly lopsided. (How would I know that?) Make sure all four sides are evenly resting in the bobbin basket (holds the bobbin case). I find it easier to insert it so that it is slightly clockwise of it's proper location, then turn it counterclockwise into place.

Also, download (free) your user's manual from the Singer site; it is pictured on page 80.

I have a Singer Curvy 8780. All I want to do is sew a straight stitch. What are the settings?

You'll need stitch pattern 01 in the first group after you press the utility stitch button (top button on the left of the 4 way arrow keys). Press button A (the left most up-arrow below the LCD screen). Use buttons B (move left) & C (move right) to select the needle position and D (shorter) & E (longer) to adjust the stitch length. E is the right-hand button in the group. Start with the tension set to Auto and adjust as needed based on your fabric and thread. For normal straight seams, start with the default settings.

Singer has the manual for the Curvy 8780 on the product site: http://www.singerco.com/products/1545/8780-curvy#type-support . The direct link to the manual is http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/089a99d1802347d9441d83e8a591e6d0db17b80c.pdf . See page 30 for the stitch pattern; page 40 starts a longer discussion of straight stitching.

I hope this helps.

Needle wont catch bobbin thread. Think timing is out.

First change your needle... it's probably bent and make sure you are using a needle FOR Denim in a size 18. Hand run the machine... if you still feel it hitting something... it is out of time. Take it in for repair.

Singer curvy beeps 4 times and stops sewing

when you thread the machine make sure to use every thread guide
check to see if the bobbin is in correctly
try changing the needle--normally flat side goes to the back
the needle that your sewing with is it the right one for the thread & fabric
clean under the needle plate & bobbin area for lint or loose threads
