Needle hitting face plate an md the bobbin Hook
The wife just bought a second hand Japanese Precision Deluxe model 35- it’s a nice machine but when the needle comes down the needle hits the face plate- if u take the face plate off- the needle hits the bobbin hook and it all jams up- does anyone have any repair tips for me. Thanks.

Welcome, Tspivey.
I'm thinking that pictures might help. It sounds like something is possibly bent or misplaced as the needle itself is always below the face plate. If the needle hits the bobbin and not the needle plate, it may need to be timed ormaybe the parts need to be cleaned and put in properly.
I'm guessing you have what is called a 15 clone. More info can be found at http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...p-t164361.html If you don't have a manual for it, one can be found at http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...ion-manual.pdf

assuming you put a new needle in, rather than the one that came with the machine, have you checked the orientation? Your machine needs the eye hole facing toward the post, rather than you.
