I just ordered this sewing machine: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Brother-2600I-Free-Sewing-Machine/4764723
I need to fix a tear in a VINYL seat cover. I did some searching and found that I would need a Wedge-Point needle for vinyl fabric.
So my question is, Can a sew machine use any kind of needles? Thanx =)
oh and also if you know [...]

I’m new to sewing machine ownership. So, I’m sorry if I appear to be a bit dense. I’m just new to this.
My needle broke on my Brother XL2610 sewing machine. I went to two Wal-Marts and didn’t see any Brother brand sewing machine needles. I saw a lot of Singer. [...]

I don’t know how it came out but i can’t get it back in. Know what it is? How do i make it stay?
…more details- this is a thin wire/ pin about the same thickness as a needle and a little longer, T shaped at one end. It fits in a very small [...]

I am flying to Asia from San Fransisco and will have lots of time to kill. I want to work on my hand-sewing. I know I can bring scissors now (with a blade less than 4″) but I cannot find they rules on sewing needles.

NOTE: I’ve never used this particular machine before.
I was trying to bring up the bobbin thread, and it said to turn the hand wheel toward me so the needle would lower. Well, I tried moving the hand wheel toward me, and the needle barely budges. The bobbin winder is where it’s supposed to be, [...]

I typically use a Singer, but it’s in the shop. I’m borrowing my friend’s machine and the right needle of her White Speedylock 1600 broke. My machine has little screws to release each of the needles. This White machine has two little black rivets, and I don’t have a clue as to how to release [...]

Im trying to sew together a blanket Im selling for our adoption fundraiser. The needle on my sewing machine keeps unthreading itself in the middle of me sewing. Its easy to fix, but it really is neusance. Its never done this before and I dont know what is causing it. Can anyone help me?

I can see where the prob exist but cant fix it. If I put needle in and take bobbin and all casing out it goes up and down fine. or if I take needle out and put bobbin and casing back in it moves in circular motion as it should. when I hook it all [...]

Getting started in sewing button on shirt, how do you make the knot to secure thread to prevent it from passing thru the button hole?

the needle holder unit has somehow fallen off my machine and will not go back on. I live in a small town where there is no sewing machine repair shop. Help!

I found it on Amazon, and I don’t know if it would work? They told me to use a size 11 for leather…I cannot find one on a safe enough site. Help please?

I was cleaning up and happened to have my sewing machine sitting on my ironing board(dumb). It dropped to the floor and I barely caught it. When I turn it on, the light bulb works, and it winds up when I press the foot pedal, but the needle won’t move up and down and neither [...]

I know i can use normal thread but my friend said that it is really hard to sew fur and that you have to be strong. is he correct? i was thinking about buying some coyotes or some lambs and sewing them together? or maybe even just some scraps. Thank you.

I own the above mentioned machine, I have never had a book on it, now I’ve bent the needle and I do not have any idea how to remove it or replace. I am affraid I will mess but the machine. There are three places on needle shaft that I can tighten or [...]

I have a brothers sewing machine that I bought 2 years ago and rarely used it.
I tried to use it today but the wheel on the side to lower the needle wouldn’t move,but everything else works fine

I understand the #16 is for heavy material (such as denim). What is the #100 for and where do I find it on the package of needles? Also..do I have to know a certain kind/type needles that a “Brother Sewing Machine” uses? Does the needle package state which machines it [...]

I haven’t had a problem with my machine until I recently lent it out to my mom. She claims she had problems with the needle and the presser foot, and now the needle is not aligned! I tried everything, new needles all of which are straight, removing the bobbin, but every time I [...]

I have gone through 2 needles but they both broke from sewing. Is it the way I put the needle in or should I get the machine repaired?

It’s an older version of a White sewing machine. When I push down on the pedal it goes down like it should but it won’t come back up. It might have something to do with the bobbin, because the thread from that won’t come through where it should.
