New Home Sewing Machines

Here is the link where you can order the manual. There is a fee. I don't think the manual is available free.

New Project

When I thread the needle I can catch the bobbin and as soon as I start sewing the needle thread will go into the cloth but the bobbin thread will not. I reset the tension on the bobbin and put a new needle in and still doesn't work!

Try turning the needle 180 degrees and reinserting. And/or change to a larger size needle. The two most common causes of skipped stitches are needle in backwards and needle too small for the fabric.
Dirty machine, bad needle, wrong needle system and timing problems can also cause it... but the timing problems are exceedingly rare.

Try the fast fixes first, then drop me a note if it's still skipping.

Price: $19.95

I had it recently serviced and it worked like a charm for a couple of months.

Check the shuttle, that is the part that the bobbin attaches to. Sometimes this happens if there is dust or thread caught. Usually the part that the bobbin locks into will come out and it can be cleaned. I clean mine after each use, with an old toothbrush. Good Luck

I have inherited a New Home Sewing Machine model 508 with no user manual. I have been in touch with Jahome and they say that it went out of prodcution over 35 yrs ago and I will not get hold of a manual. I have searched high and low on internet. Does anyone pocess a manual for a 508, and if so would they be as kind to email me a copy please?
Thanks

Try your local sewing machine repair shops... they typically have file cabinets full of manuals, taken from traded-in machines that were trashed. Also consider asking in the yahoo group "wefixit", a group for vintage sewing machine repairs -- lots of knowledgeable people in the group. You may find someone who recognizes that the 508 was the same as the XYZ with a couple of differences, and that the XYZ manual will do just fine for you.
