If you supply the model number there is a good chance I can.All Singer sewing machine serial numbers start with at least one letter and is embossed on the machine, not the pedal unit.

This is an antique collectible. The parts list is the first link, but finding them is going to be hard. Try Singer direct. https://www.google.com/search?q=singer+29-4+parts

If your machine has that capability, the manual should have instructions on how to move the needle. If not, then your machine may need adjustment.

Make sure your needle is fully seated and correctly inserted into your needle bar. Then make sure your needle is at it's lowest point before trying to use the threader.

Singer.com has links to the manual on the product page, https://www.singer.com/S14-S-Serger , and their support page, https://www.singer.com/support . However, my browser gives an error from the product page link. At the support search bar, you only need to search for S14. The current link to the manual for the S14-78 is https://res.cloudinary.com/singer-sewing/image/upload/v1610566267/Singer-Website-Library/Manuals/Products_manuals/S14SergerManual.pdf . Note: the manual covers several models; pay attention to ensure looking at the sections appropriate for your machine. You will need to arrange to print the manual yourself. That can be on your own printer or someplace like Kinko's. Take the file on a USB drive or upload it for a print shop job. (I print select pages that I use often and refer to the PDF, as needed.) I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

All the Singer manuals are available on their websites. Your seems to be an issue and I am wondering if the model number is wrong or it is not an American set? https://www.singer.com/en-ca/support https://www.google.com/search?q=singer+model+dx+14c+manual ..

The Singer Quantum XL1 has a needle bar positioning spring. It's actually a J shaped bar with a rubber stopper at one end and a hole for the 1 screw on the other end.When it breaks the rubber partly off or falls off completely the machine shows signs.The thread can jam or, The needle bar extends too far left or right.Also your needle may stop going up and down. It works for regular stitches if you pull the needle bar back down with your hand. For a while anyway.Sometimes regular stitches work. But you can't sew the large designs like bear, bunny, lamb, duck. Until you replace it. There is only 1 screw, needle bar tops at the rubber stopper of the J. Or the metal J shape end looks like a c if rubber is missing. So the rubber slips onSee image.I've only found the entire needle bar positioning spring. It's like I said is not a spring at all it's a metal piece with a rubber gasket on one endGood luckAlso you may need to use a light stableizer. If the material has gotten jammed before. look at your needle plate where the needle goes in. Has it been damaged? is there a gap, hole, slice, small piece missing? Where needle tinged the plate?A dent or cut that makes it wider? You'll keep getting "caught"Try Use stabilizer or get new needle plate.The good news it's about $10 for the needle bar stabilizing spring. https://www.sewingpartsonline.com > ...Needle Bar Position Spring, Singer #283091

Probably because the timing has shifted. Check the timing.

Start with the threading sequence. Upper looper, lower looper, left needle, right needle. Your upper & lower loopers must be threaded before your needles or it won't make the stitch. If it still doesn't work, it's out of time and will need to be taken in to a shop.

Question edited for clarity. I was built before cell phones or desktop computers! Older sewing machines are more reliable that the new fancy electronic ones. Broken thread is usually caused by old rotten thread, cotton breaks down, or you may have a bad batch. Or it is caused by incorrect threading, or incorrect tension (upper or even bobbin tension). Or the machine needs cleaning, servicing and timing. Manual to check threading and tension. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/454760/Singer-1021.html#product-1022 Thread breaking in general https://www.google.com/search?q=singer+1022+breaking+threads ..

Question edited for clarity. It is a Hoop Error or Motor lock Up depending on who you listen to :>D This seems the best advice from Singer. https://futura-support.com/node/192 https://www.google.com/search?q=Singer+Futura+CE+250+has+a+error+E6

Problem with sump or with sump screw? Or overly full? I'm currently refubishing a Singer 491. To understand what sump and sump screw are, check out the YouTube channel of becauseimcrafty for their instruction on changing the oil. This demonstrates the large oli pan of a Singer industrial machine that is similar to yours as far as the oil "pan" or "sump" goes. TItle of their video is <<Industrial Sewing Machine l Changing the OIL>>. Not sure if link allowed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIF8npj-VLk

Yes, it should be fine for most leather. I don't know about belt or thicker leathers though.....I would just buy some samples and give it a go. The 491 is a workhorse, good for upholstery and heavy work.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Land Phones. The dial is for the thread tension and depends on what you are sewing. Keep in the middle number to start with. Here is your owner manual.
