?? Blogs for singer 400 series machines??
Does anyone know of any blogs for those of us with Singer 401, 403, 404, etc.? I'm frustrated by a 'clacking loose bobbin case, at least I think it is loose. Also, trying to stipple on that machine is giving me fits, maybe it's a bobbin case issue. Thanks, Libby

The 400 series is known to not be great at FMQing. It's the raised throat plate along with the drop in bobbin. The design of the machine is not great for FMquilting. It's the nature of the beast. It's a great, general sewing machine, good for piecing and straight line quilting with a walking foot. Many quilters prefer vintage machines with vertical bobbin assemblies like the 301, 221, 15 etc. for free motion quilting. If you're learning to FMQ, it's not the right machine for you, IMHO.
