As you may have seen, error 16 is not explained in the manual--but it means the thread is tangled around the bobbin. If the problem persists (or if you require further explanation), you'll have to consult Singer: use the contact information here--https://www.contacthelp.com/singer/customer-service, or email Singer at [email protected].
