Why Is My Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 Stuck In Reverse Sewing

The reverse lever is stuck. This is the most common cause of a sewing machine getting stuck in reverse. To fix this, try gently wiggling the reverse lever back and forth. If it doesn't move, you may need to disassemble the machine and clean or lubricate the reverse lever mechanism.

The feed dogs are raised. The feed dogs are the small teeth that move the fabric through the machine. When they're raised, the machine can't sew in either direction. To lower the feed dogs, look for a lever or button on the front of the machine. Once the feed dogs are lowered, you should be able to sew in both directions again.

The bobbin case is not inserted correctly. The bobbin case is the small metal part that holds the bobbin thread. If it's not inserted correctly, the machine can't sew in either direction. To insert the bobbin case, follow the instructions in your sewing machine manual.

The bobbin thread is tangled. If the bobbin thread is tangled, it can prevent the machine from sewing in either direction. To fix this, remove the bobbin case and carefully untangle the thread. Then, reinsert the bobbin case and try sewing again.

The machine is not threaded correctly. If the machine is not threaded correctly, it can't sew in either direction. To thread the machine, follow the instructions in your sewing machine manual.

The machine is dirty or damaged. If the machine is dirty or damaged, it can cause problems with sewing. To clean the machine, follow the instructions in your sewing machine manual. If the machine is damaged, you may need to take it to a sewing machine repair technician.

If you've tried all of these things and your machine is still stuck in reverse, you may need to take it to a sewing machine repair technician.

1. Check to make sure that the Reverse Stitch button is not stuck or pressed in while you are sewing forward. If it is, press it again to release it and try sewing forward.

2. Check the stitch length settings - if the stitch length is set to 0, your machine will sew in reverse. Try increasing the stitch length to see if this releases the reverse setting.

3. Check the foot pedal - sometimes, the foot pedal can get stuck in reverse or cause the machine to sew in reverse. Try unplugging the foot pedal, then plug it back in and see if the problem resolves.

4. Check the machine's mechanical parts - sometimes, there may be a mechanical issue with the machine's gears or levers that causes it to sew in reverse. If this is the case, it may require a professional repair.

If these solutions do not resolve the issue, I would recommend taking your Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 to a certified Singer repair center to have them take a closer look and identify the problem. I hope this helps!

1. Stitch length selector set to "0": If the stitch length selector is set to "0", the machine will sew in reverse. Try adjusting the stitch length selector to a higher number to see if this resolves the issue.

2. Faulty reverse button: If the reverse button is stuck or faulty, it may cause the machine to sew in reverse continuously. Try pressing the reverse button a few times to see if it becomes unstuck. If the button is faulty, you may need to replace it.

3. Mechanical issue: A mechanical issue with the machine may also cause it to get stuck in reverse sewing mode. In this case, you may need to take the machine to a professional for repair.

4. Software or firmware issue: It's possible that there could be a software or firmware issue with the machine. Try resetting the machine to its default settings by referring to the instruction manual.

If none of these solutions work, it's best to take the machine to a Singer authorized dealer or a professional sewing machine repair shop for further diagnosis and repair.
