I have a Singer Scholastic that is equiped with an automatic needle threader. I sew very small pouches and bags and my work is constantly getting caught and pulled crooked on the needle threader. Can someone tell me how I can remove this gadget? I am disabled and without a car, so I can't take it to a shop. Thanks!
Model number?
The only numbers on the machine are on the back as follows:
50T8E99670
Does that help?
No not a model number. Look on the front just above or below the stitch length control
It's the 6510. Here's a link:
Just place your two fingers on the needle threader and give it a tug downward, firmly.
It's not glued or screwed in place and should be able to pop off quite easily.

The head part comes off with the little screw there, look close. That should give you a bit more room. To get rid of all of it will require a professional I think.
I pulled the "threader" part off and took out the roll pins holding the handle in place and was able to remove that as well. I ended up tying the bar that supports the whole thing to the hole that the spring was in before, keeping it well up and out of my way. As it is, I can put the needle threader back on any time I want, and it is MUCH easier to use my machine now.
Thanks for the help!
