New Home Sewing

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.

Purchased a New Home Memory 7 used - no manual unfortunately - can't get it to do a basic stitch! It sews 2 or 3 stitches and the needle jumps to the left. When I check it, there is a TON of thread under the material. Any ideas what is going on? I don't even understand how to thread this thing, I can't see where the thread is going.

Quite possibly you may have the bobbin in upside down and the thread is coming off in the wrong direction. Put the bobbin in so when you pull the thread the bobbin turns clockwise. If this isn't the problem you may be having tension issues but really if this is a nice machine take it and spend the 50.00 to have it serviced by a sewing dealership (technician), have them show you what you may be doing wrong. Also you may not be threading it right. Here is a link that may be usefull to you. I'm a sewing machine tech and you may e-mail me if you have any questions or can go into more detail. When you get to the site, scroll down until you see New Home. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Do you know where on line I can download a free copy of the User Manual/Instruction book for a New Home 921 sewing machine please?

Here is New Home's website. There are some free manuals to download at the bottom of it but I didn't see a model number listed on them:

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.
