Please help me. I have the Brothers (Simple) sewing machine. I've had other brother machines over the years but since I don't sew that much anymore I purchased the Simple machine. I cannot get the tension right. I get the top tension right then the under one is all over the place. I have done everything I can. I have looked at each manual on line and none of them are of any help because the Simple machine is so different.
Please help me. I am having company and I need my curtains made before they get here this weekend. I thought I would have them done this evening. But I cannot sew.

The information you'll need to get the most from your vintage Brother sewing machine is best found in the manual, and most Brother machines sold in Canada are supported through the US site (parts, sales and repair locator, manuals, free projects, etc).Next, look for a repair tech near to you with experience on vintage Brother sewing machines, and take the machine in for a servicing (usually around $50CAD). The tech will clean, oil, and check over your fab find to be sure there are no hidden problems/problems waiting to happen.
He/she will usually also be willing to show you how to wind the bobbin, and demonstrate special features you may not be aware of. It's definitely a very worthwhile spend to have a machine you can be confident is in good working order!
September 8, 2014 0 found this helpfulHave you tried the Brother website (Jones went out of business years ago but Brother has a few of their manuals available as a download - can't recall if free, though)?Also, look on your machine next to the power point connection for identifying information including model name/number, and use that info for a search term accompanied by the maker name and the words owner guide or user manual.Good luck. I have a Jones built in 1960s Russia and still can't find a manual for it!
