Question about my Singer 15-91
I bought a 15-91 and have been cleaning, oiling and greasing it with Singer lubricant and also restoring the cabinet. I am now sewing on it but noticed that when I wind a bobbin the needle goes up and down. I loosened the stop motion screw first like the manual said, but the needle still goes up and down when winding a bobbin. I also looked in the adjuster's manual but can't find the answer.
Help, please?

I checked that and the screw isn't loose. It is tight and between 2 of the little knobs, I rotated the silver knob towards me until one of the little knobs stops it but the needle still goes up and down when I try to wind a bobbin.

I took the handwheel off, cleaned the inside, checked the little gears to see if they were ok and not stripped out--they were OK. I put everything back together again and it still runs whether I loosen the stop wheel or not. I put the little stop washer in several different positions but it doesn't seem to make any difference. It is an annoyance but I guess I will just have to live with it.
Thanks for your help.

It's a pretty easy fix; I'll dig through my machines to find one that has this problem, and illustrate with photos or videos how to fix this on my blog. When I get it together, I'll post notice on this thread.
