The Singer Fashion Mate 248 may not be picking up the bobbin thread and is breaking the needle due to plastic gears inside the machine that could be cracked or damaged. Additionally, improper tension settings or missing screws might also contribute to these issues. A thorough inspection, cleaning, and possible replacement of damaged parts may be necessary to resolve the problem.

To replace the motor bracket on a Singer Fashion Mate 248 sewing machine, follow these steps:
1. Unplug the Machine – Ensure the sewing machine is turned off and unplugged for safety.
2. Remove the Belt – Loosen the motor adjustment screw and slide the motor downward to release tension on the belt. Remove the belt from the motor pulley.
3. Detach the Motor – Locate the screws or bolts securing the motor to the bracket. Use a screwdriver or wrench to remove them, then carefully lift the motor away from the bracket.
4. Remove the Old Bracket – Identify the screws or bolts holding the motor bracket to the machine’s frame. Unscrew them and remove the old bracket.
5. Install the New Bracket – Position the replacement motor bracket in place and secure it with the screws or bolts removed earlier. Ensure it is firmly tightened.
6. Reattach the Motor – Align the motor with the new bracket and secure it using the screws or bolts.
7. Reinstall the Belt – Place the belt back on the motor pulley and adjust the motor position to achieve proper tension. The belt should be snug but not overly tight.
8. Test the Machine – Plug in the sewing machine and run it at a slow speed to check for proper motor alignment and belt function. Adjust if necessary.
9. Secure All Screws – Double-check that all screws and bolts are tightened to prevent movement during use.
This process ensures the motor is properly supported and functions correctly.
