WHITE 999 bobbin jamming problems.

My first thought is always, did you try a new needle? Juno

And did you put the bobbin in the right way round?

Without the manual, you may not be threading it correctly, or inserting the needle in properly. =20

SEWUSA may have your model listed under it's free threading directions:

If not , try a model number that is close to yours, the thread path may be identical.

When you insert the needle, are you putting the flat side towards the back of the machine?

Is almost always a top thread problem, usually the machine is not correctly threaded or there is no tension on the top thread. Re-thread the machine as shown in the manual and set the tension at 4

And are the ends of the threads nice and long before you start sewing and are you holding them as you start sewing? Some machines have a slight tendency to 'eat' the thread tails as you start sewing if they are too short or not held.

Hi

The others have listed the most likely causes and things you should check out first.

1. check and change the needle. If bent, it may be catching.

1. check and change the spool/bobbin.

2. check the spool unwinds in a clockwise direction ( if this is correct for your machine - it normally is)

1. Does the machine need cleaned of dust and fluff that builds up in the 'works'?

2. Is the machine set correctly for the type of material you're using?

Some machines have a threading diagram on the body of the machine. This may help.

If you can't solve the problem, why not contact White's customer service department.
