Questions and answers
How do you sew on knit fabric with the Singer 8280
The Singer 8280 can sew knit fabric as it supports adjustable stitch length and width, which helps create strong seams on different fabric types, including knits. To sew on knit fabric:
1. Select the Right Stitch – Use a stretch or zigzag stitch to allow flexibility in the seam.
2. Adjust Stitch Length & Width – Set the stitch length and width appropriately to prevent puckering or skipped stitches.
3. Use the Right Needle – A ballpoint or stretch needle is recommended for knits.
4. Avoid Pulling the Fabric – Let the feed dogs move the fabric naturally to prevent stretching.
This ensures durable and flexible seams when sewing knit fabric with the Singer 8280.

bobbin wind release jammed
To fix a jammed bobbin wind release on a Singer 8280, follow these steps:
1. Check the Bobbin Winder: Make sure the bobbin winder spindle is pushed fully to the left (sewing position). If it is stuck to the right, gently push it left.
2. Reset the Hand Wheel: Press the side of the hand wheel opposite the indent to return it to normal sewing mode. If the indent is still pressed in, the needle will not move properly.
3. Clear Any Thread Jams: Remove the bobbin and check for any thread stuck inside the bobbin area or around the bobbin winder.
4. Inspect the Bobbin Case: Ensure the bobbin case is properly seated and not damaged. A faulty bobbin case can cause jamming.
5. Service the Machine: If these steps do not resolve the issue, the machine may need a professional service. A technician can clean, oil, and adjust internal parts.
Always turn the hand wheel toward you and raise the presser foot before inserting or removing the bobbin.

why won't the needle move up and down while pressing the foot peddle?
The needle on the Singer 8280 won't move up and down when pressing the foot pedal because the belt inside the machine has come off. This causes the motor to run without transferring movement to the needle. To fix this, the belt needs to be reattached. First, turn off and unplug the machine, then remove the accessory tray and side cover to access the belt.

My Singer 8280 is very noisy. Oiled under plat and bobbin area. Seems like it is coming from the top of the machine.
Your Singer 8280 sewing machine may be making a loud noise because the belt inside the machine has come off. This could cause the motor to run without moving the needle or other components. To fix this, you will need to turn off the power, unplug the machine, and reattach the belt inside the machine.
