If you haven't already done so, review the suggestions at https://www.manualslib.com/manual/453844/Singer-5523.html?page=64&term=jam&selected=8. If the issue persists or if you require further advice, or if those instructions do not seem to apply to your model, you'll have to consult the manufacturer, for which use the contact information at https://www.contacthelp.com/singer/customer-service.
