The Seagull sewing machine is perhaps the most popular home model sewing machine, despite the abundance of imported household sewing machines in stores. At one time I had to buy it for a lot of money, and it seemed like it had sewn well recently, but something began to loop. It really is almost impossible for her to break. The body is made of aluminum, the parts are all metal, the components are strong and reliable - everything is in the style of Soviet technology. But, unfortunately, it loops almost “from birth” and knocks when sewing, like a machine gun.
Many other “delights” were provided by the factory, along with instructions for design and use, where almost 5 pages describe how the pedal works, given electrical diagram engine, but not a word about how to set up and repair Seagull sewing machine.
The Chaika sewing machine has many models, practically not much different from each other: Chaika 2; 3; 142m; 132; 134; 143 and others. Sewing machines of the Podolsk plant: Podolsk 142, Podolsk 125-1 others, as well as the Malva sewing machine, have approximately the same device as the Chaika. Therefore, the instructions for one of these machines are quite suitable for any model of a full zigzag sewing machine, such as the Seagull.
Setting up, adjusting and repairing Chaika sewing machines is almost the same for all the models listed above, with the exception of repairing the copier (depending on the machine model) and setting some shuttle parameters. But since our task is to learn how to configure only a stitch, we will omit the repair of many components in this article. In addition, such repairs cannot be done with your own hands without professional knowledge and experience, especially at home.
Lubricating the Chaika sewing machine
Before you begin repairing and setting up the Chaika sewing machine with your own hands, it is advisable to do a routine inspection, cleaning, and lubrication. To do this, disconnect the electric motor from the network, remove top cover(it is secured with two screws from the top). Disconnect the presser foot, remove the needle and needle plate, and the hook mechanism cover. Disconnect the machine from wooden stand or table. Disassemble the shuttle device: bobbin case, locking ring, shuttle. Now remove from the machine (especially in the shuttle compartment) dust, dirt, fuzz and lubricate all rubbing, accessible places well with machine oil. You can look at the places that need to be lubricated in the instructions for the machine or lubricate all accessible rubbing metal parts and assemblies.
For lubrication, it is very convenient to use a medical disposable syringe; just select a size so that it fits into the neck of the container with oil. The needle must be removed when “filling” with oil.
Seagull sewing machine repair
The main malfunction of "Chaika" type machines that perform zigzag stitching and several types of finishing stitches based on it are skipping, looping of the lower and upper threads, as well as thread breaks at the top and bottom. It is these faults and ways to eliminate them that we will consider in this article.
Thread breakage most often occurs with Chaika-type sewing machines. The first reason leading to thread breakage is the bent point of a blunt needle, which breaks the thread while it is moving. Using a magnifying glass, you can clearly see the condition of the needle tip.
Use serviceable needles designed for Chaika sewing machines in accordance with the instructions.
A thread break can be the result of many malfunctions, for example, if the needle touches it when entering the needle hole, the thread will periodically break. When performing a straight stitch, the needle should be located in the center of the hole in the needle plate, evenly spaced from its sides, and when performing a zigzag operation, the needle position L should be the same as R.
The longitudinal installation of the needle in the center of the needle slot is carried out by shifting the needle bar frame, fixed with two screws on the rocker arm, in the upper part of the machine (scroll the flywheel on the zigzag stitch and you will see this fastening).
Loosen these screws and set (on a straight stitch) the needle exactly in the center (offsetting the needle bar frame). After this, check the position of the needle when injecting it left and right. I hope that the needle entry (at the maximum zigzag width), on the right and left, will be evenly spaced from the center. If it touches the edge of the hole at the maximum zigzag width, contact a specialist; this case is for him.
Adjusting the vertical position of the needle
The transverse position of the needle is regulated by a rod mounted on a plate with two screws and a plate pressing the needle bar frame to the bracket rod. Adjusting this unit is quite complicated and requires experience, but, unfortunately, it is this mechanism that can spontaneously go astray during operation, especially with the Chaika electric sewing machine. Therefore, if you decide to repair your sewing machine, you should learn to adjust the position of the needle, since moving the needle forward is the reason for its breakage, and moving it away from the seamstress is the reason for skipping.
Adjusting the needle position requires professional knowledge and experience. If you are not sure that you can do it yourself, contact a specialist, since it may cause failure of other components, the repair of which cannot be learned from a boring book stuffed with technical terms and diagrams.
It can be added that when using a crooked needle, notches may form on the nose of the shuttle, which “fluff” the thread and break it. The nose of the shuttle should be perfectly smooth and sharp, without roughness. Its condition can be determined by running your fingernail along the edge of the nose or using a magnifying glass. The clamping plate tightening screw should not be jagged, the latch handle should be clearly fixed and its surface should be clean and smooth. The shuttle itself must also be perfectly clean, without nicks or rust stains.
Adjusting the needle bar and attaching the tensioner
When sewing coarse fabrics, sometimes the needle moves up along with the needle bar. Gaps appear in the stitch. In this photo, the arrows indicate where the needle bar fastening screw and the upper thread tensioner fastening screw are located.
Incorrect position of the hook of Chaika sewing machines leads to thread breakage and the appearance of other stitching defects, including gaps. Gaps usually appear due to correct position shuttle at the moment of meeting the needle - the nose of the shuttle does not capture the formed loop, passes by and a gap is formed. Many other factors may also be the cause.
In order to correctly set the meeting position of the shuttle nose and the needle, it is necessary to adjust the position of the shuttle stroke. You can loosen the two bolts that secure it and carefully, using a powerful screwdriver, move or move away the stroke together with the shuttle in relation to the needle. The shuttle rotates on an axis rather than moving back and forth. This is very important point. There is no need to pull it out with a nail puller or hammer it in, it easily turns on its axis. It is difficult for an inexperienced person to immediately understand what is being said, but it is also very difficult to explain in more detail. Anything else that can be added, look carefully before twisting anything, much less unscrewing it. There should be no remaining parts after the repair.
Shuttle and needle adjustment parameters (Seagull)
At the moment of the meeting between the nose of the shuttle and the blade of the needle, the following parameters must be observed: the gap between the nose and the blade is approximately 0.15 mm; when the needle comes out from the lower position to a height of 1.8 - 2.0 mm, the tip should approach it above the eye of the needle by 1 mm, at least, but not more than 3 mm.
By the way, a very important point is raising the needle from the lower position (1.8 - 2.0 mm). This parameter affects the formation of the needle loop and should be taken into account Special attention. In order for the spout to grab the thread from the needle, it is necessary for a loop to form, where it passes, hooking it. That is why the needle must first go down and then, having risen a little, meet the tip of the looper.
The position of the needle is also regulated by the needle bar; for this purpose there is a screw for fastening it to the sleeve under the front cover (see above).
If you set the following parameters for adjusting the shuttle stroke, then sewing machine "Seagull" will work relatively fine. But, unfortunately, the repair is not finished yet. There are also many other shuttle settings that are quite complex and necessary for the Chaika sewing machine. It is there that the reasons for thread looping and such a rare phenomenon for sewing machines are hidden - the bottom thread breaks. The difficulty of presenting this material is that for almost any model of the Chaika sewing machine, engineers have provided their own specific settings for setting up this unit and, moreover, requiring a lot of experience from the performer. For which we thank them, at least from the sewing machine repairmen. They will not be left without work as long as there are Chaika sewing machines.
Flywheel friction washer
Sometimes you have to remove the flywheel from the machine. There are only three parts in this assembly, but many people cannot assemble it correctly. This is due to the fact that it would be more logical to insert the petals of the friction washer inside the slot of the shaft, so they do so. As a result, the machine begins to idle.
The petals should not be facing towards the machine body (shaft), but towards you. Moreover, they can be supplied in “two versions”; choose the one in which the limit screw will not interfere with tightening the flywheel fastening.
Despite the abundance of imported household sewing machines in stores, the Chaika sewing machine remains one of the popular models of sewing machines for the home. At one time, I had to buy Chaika for a lot of money, and she seems to sew well, but sometimes she loops around. Otherwise, everything is fine. All parts of the machine are intact and undamaged and it still looks good.
Indeed, it is almost impossible to break the Chaika sewing machine. The body is made of aluminum, all parts are metal, the components are strong and reliable. Everything is done in style household appliances Soviet times. But for some reason, Chaika’s line often loops, gaps appear in the stitch, and the thread often breaks. Indeed, on Chaika sewing machines the stitching loops
Almost “from birth”, gaps sometimes appear in the stitching, especially when doing a zigzag stitch and it knocks when sewing, like a machine gun.
The manufacturer includes instructions for the Chaika sewing machine, which detail how to use the machine and perform various operations. There is even an electrical circuit of the electric motor and pedal structure. But not a word about how to set up and perform at least small Seagull sewing machine repair. We will try to fill this gap in the instructions and give some recommendations on how to set up the Chaika sewing machine with your own hands.
Skips, looping of the lower and upper thread, as well as its breaking at the top and bottom - these are the main malfunctions of "Chaika" type sewing machines that perform zigzag stitching and several types of finishing stitches based on it.
Sewing machine Chaika, Chaika M, Chaika 142, Chaika 132, Chaika 134, Chaika 132 m, Chaika 142 M, Chaika 143, Chaika 3, Chaika 2 and Podolsk 142, Podolsk 125-1; Malva and others have the same device. Instructions for use and configuration for them is one common. Therefore, the repair and adjustment of these sewing machines is practically no different, with the exception of the repair of the copier. Depending on the model of the machine, one or another type of copier (the device responsible for performing the zigzag stitch) may be installed.
There are also differences in setting the shuttle parameters (depending on the model). But since our task is to learn how to adjust only the stitch, we will omit the repair of many components of the Chaika sewing machine. In addition, such repairs cannot be done with your own hands without professional knowledge and experience.
Before you start repairing and setting up the Chaika sewing machine yourself, it is advisable to do a routine inspection, cleaning and lubrication. To do this, disconnect the electric motor from the mains and remove the top cover (it is secured with two screws). Disconnect the presser foot, remove the needle and needle plate, and the hook mechanism cover. Detach the machine from the wooden stand. Disassemble the shuttle. Remove the bobbin case, locking ring, hook. Now remove dust, dirt, lint from the machine (especially in the shuttle compartment). Lubricate all moving parts with engine oil. To clean, use a hard small glue brush, and to lubricate the sewing machine, it is very convenient to use a medical disposable syringe.
3. Use needles designed only for Chaika household machines
Thread breakage happens quite often with Seagull-type sewing machines. The first reason leading to thread breakage is a bent needle point, which breaks the thread while it is moving. Using a magnifying glass is very convenient to inspect the condition of the needle tip.
Use serviceable needles intended only for household sewing machines, in accordance with the instructions for the sewing machine Chaika, Podolsk 142.
The above adjustment parameters are suitable for all modifications of Chaika and Podolskaya sewing machines and are universal for almost all lockstitch household sewing machines. These recommendations can be used to repair sewing machines of other brands, including modern household sewing machines. The adjustments below apply only to Chaika sewing machines.
8. Models of Chaika sewing machines have differences in setting the shuttle stroke
If you set the above parameters for the interaction of the shuttle and the needle, set the needle exactly in the center, replace it at the same time, and adjust the thread tension, then the “Chaika” sewing machine will work relatively normally. But, unfortunately, the repair of the Chaika sewing machine is not yet completed. There are also many other settings, quite complex and necessary, related to adjusting the position of the shuttle stroke in relation to the needle. But not the gap between the nose and the blade, but the amount of penetration of the nose behind the needle. It is in this parameter that it is hidden main reason looping of the thread at the bottom of the line and such a rare phenomenon for sewing machines as breaking the bottom thread. The difficulty of presenting this material is that for almost any model of the “Chaika” sewing machine, engineers have provided their own features for setting up this unit and, moreover, it requires a lot of experience.
We will deliberately not give detailed recommendations on how to set it up, since it’s almost impossible to do them yourself. The master adjuster experimentally selects one single position of the hook nose relative to the needle, varying between the appearance of three stitch defects: thread looping, lower thread breakage and upper thread breakage.
Briefly, we just note that the main position of the hook nose is adjusted in relation to the needle when it is in the left position, with a left injection, performing a zigzag stitch. Having passed the needle just above the eye, the nose should finish its movement and move further (to the left) behind the needle by 1-3 mm. This parameter, 1-3 mm, is “different” for each Chaika model, and it is on this parameter that the stitching will be formed. If the shuttle extends too far beyond the needle, it pulls out the excess top thread and loops appear; if it doesn’t “reach” the thread may break.
In order to change the position of the shuttle (the nose goes behind the needle), find in the far right part of the shaft that drives the shuttle device, a lever sleeve connected to the main (upper) shaft. Using a wrench, loosen the sleeve fastening, tightened with an M10 screw, and turn the shaft slightly, holding it with pliers. You need to hold the flywheel with your other hand.
Adjust the Chaika sewing machine so that with the left injection and the right injection (zigzag stitch), the nose of the shuttle confidently captures the loop from the needle in both of these positions. If the machine still has stitching defects, then contact a sewing machine repair specialist.
How does a vertical shuttle work? Possible malfunctions and ways to eliminate them. Seagull type sewing machine hook.
The Podolsk sewing machine with a zigzag stitch is exactly the same as the Chaika sewing machine. Therefore, the repair and configuration of these machines is practically no different. But the PMZ plant also has another model of sewing machine. Straight stitch sewing machine various options drive configuration. How to repair such a sewing machine with your own hands is described in detail in this article.
The Chaika sewing machine is very “sensitive” to various “little things”. If the bobbin has notches on the walls and does not rotate well in the bobbin case, this will lead to stitch defects, and you will think that it is time to repair the sewing machine. In fact, it is enough to replace only the bobbin.
Modern sewing machines can be divided into 2 types: electronic and electromechanical (Chaika and others). Design differences There are many differences between these types of sewing machines, but the main thing is clear to everyone - on electronic models, home sewing machines perform an unlimited number of operations, due to the presence of an electronic control unit.
Start repairing your Chaika sewing machine by studying its structure. Learn how the lockstitch is formed. Find out what parts of the machine can affect its operation and check what condition they are in. And only after detecting suspected malfunctions, begin to configure and adjust them.
The Chaika sewing machine can operate flawlessly for many years if you follow the operating instructions, which indicate what fabrics it can sew and how to choose the right needle and thread for each type of fabric. Try to keep your Chaika sewing machine clean and lubricate it periodically. Then you won’t need to set it up or make repairs for many years.
Among the fierce competition from imported products, domestic goods still managed to defend their place. Many devices, equipment, even cars - mind you, are on the move even today, after so many years! Surprisingly, Soviet things show virtually no wear and tear - they serve us faithfully even in the most difficult times, such as the “Chaika” sewing machine, And The operating instructions for which are given below.
Advantages and disadvantages of the Chaika sewing machine
In the past, one would have had to pay a lot of money for this “unit” - in the time of our grandmothers it was valued very highly. And it was not for nothing that they asked a high price for them: even today it is not easy to break or disable such a machine. Its main advantage is durability and endurance. Aluminium case does not damage the internal mechanisms, all the parts of which are from the real thing, durable metal. All components and fastenings of the machine are made accurately and reliably.
But even with such “Spartan health”, the “Chaika” sewing machine can sometimes fail: it happens that the line “loops” (especially when performing a “zigzag” line). You can put up with this, because it doesn’t happen very often. But when it really bothers you, even the instructions supplied by the manufacturer are not a huge help: unfortunately, there is almost not a word in it about repairing the device. Perhaps because it must be carried out by a trained and experienced person - an expert in “sewing machines”. But there are also problems that you can fix yourself.
Main components of the mechanism
Before you start using the Chaika sewing machine, the unit must be properly configured. For this:
- Remove the top cover of the machine (using the two screws on top). Use a few drops of oil to lubricate the main components and fastenings of the front part. Pay attention to this compartment; it contains screws 1 and 2, which need to be tightened from time to time so that the tensioner does not “ride” in the socket.
- Next, work with the rail (especially if you notice that the fabric does not move well during work). The teeth of the rack can be raised, and it is best to set it to the H position, which means "Normal" (B means "Embroidery").
- It will be necessary to adjust the tension of the electric drive belt. To do this, you need to loosen the friction screw (it holds the flywheel). Be extremely careful with these components and pay attention to the position of the petals.
- Lubricate the bobbin winder at the same time.
- Select the correct needle number
The Seagull sewing machine will not work well if you do not select the right needle. A needle that is too thin “wipes” the thread and breaks it. Too thick and it can destroy the fiber, which can cause the seams to unravel (especially after washing). You also need a special needle for fabrics such as stretch, denim, and leather.
- silk, cambric - No. 70;
- chintz, satin, cambric, linen fabrics - No. 80;
- cotton, calico, flannel, fine wool - No. 90;
- wool, suiting fabric - No. 100;
- thick wool, cloth - No. 110.
Correctly install the needle
It is important that the needle does not dangle in the opening, so when installing, make sure that it is installed all the way up and tighten the screw firmly (this way you can avoid the needle jumping off, which is especially dangerous during operation). The sawed side of the needle should face away from you (needles with round flasks should not be used at all - they spoil the quality of work and make the machine less durable).
How to fill the sewing machine "Seagull?"
When threading the upper thread, it is only important to secure it firmly. The operation of the entire machine depends on whether the thread is threaded through the compensation spring. Be careful about this - otherwise the thread will begin to "wag".
In order to properly arrange the lower thread, you first need to remove the bobbin from the device. The thread should be tightened under the spring plate of the cap and create the desired tension (turning the screw to the left is weaker, to the right is the opposite). Note that the tension should not be strong, but noticeable. It is not necessary to change the thread tension often, only in cases where the seam will have to be made on thin fabrics.
Sewing machine "Seagull": instruction manual
First, let's figure out how to make a straight line. There is such an element - the zigzag width lever, so it needs to be set to zero. Next - set the required stitch length (3-4 cm), thread the threads. Carefully inspect the rack teeth: set the shift lever to position H (normal). For silk/delicate fabrics, set to W (silk).
For the zigzag stitch, the zigzag width lever is “0-5” and the stitch length is 1-3 mm. Attention! When performing a zigzag stitch, you need to additionally adjust the thread tension so that it is equal.
Lubricating sewing machines "Chaika"
Lubrication in this type of sewing machines is carried out in most cases in order to at least slightly reduce the noise created (unfortunately, this is an unpleasant part of working with a Chaika machine). It is impossible to completely eliminate the sound produced by the mechanism at home. But if the teeth of the gears are greased with thick graphite lubricant, the knocking will become quieter.
It is not advisable to perform routine lubrication (and cleaning) more often than once every six months. Basically, you should pay attention to the joints of several metal parts.
So, first, remove the top cover and vaner (bottom protection) to get to the “internals”. You should only use proven oil, which is specially produced for lubricating sewing machines. At the same time, even the highest quality oil will not protect against greasy stains on the fabric if you overdo it. Remember, 1-3 drops of oil and it's done.
The tools you will need for cleaning and lubrication are a regular glue brush (to clean the shuttle and shuttle compartment) and a regular medical syringe (to ensure even lubrication).
The Seagull sewing machine can perform straight stitch, zigzag stitch and, based on it, several other types of finishing stitches. Nowadays, you can only buy a machine with a pedal (electric drive); foot models (with a belt) were produced in Soviet times.
The proposed instructions for sewing machines Chaika and Podolsk are a simplified version of the manufacturer’s operating manual. This universal instructions can be used for all models of sewing machines Chaika 2, 3, 132, 132m, 134, and Podolsk 142, 142m, Malva and other models.
1. Main components and mechanisms
Remove the top cover (two screws on top of the cover) and lubricate the main components of the front compartment with a few drops of oil. Screw 1 is designed to adjust the needle bar into which the needle is inserted. Screw 2 clamps the upper thread tensioner. This fastening quite often needs to be tightened, because the plastic body of the tensioner falls through the screw and the tensioner begins to wobble in the seat.
If the fabric is not moving well, most often you just need to lift the teeth of the staff by setting the switch to position (H) - normal, B - embroidery.
When removing the flywheel, be sure to pay attention to the position of the friction washer petals (L). To completely remove the friction screw holding the flywheel, loosen the screw (K). Adjustment of the tension of the electric drive belt is carried out after loosening the screw (B).
The device for winding the thread onto the bobbin also needs to be lubricated and sometimes adjusted.
2. Incorrectly selected needle number leads to thread breakage
Any instruction contains recommendations for selecting a needle, depending on the type and thickness of the fabric and the selected threads. Here is a list of recommendations for the Chaika, Podolskaya sewing machine:
Silk, cambric - No. 70; chintz, satin, cambric, linen fabrics - No. 80;
cotton fabrics, calico, flannel, thin wool fabrics - № 90;
woolen, suiting fabrics - No. 100;
thick woolen fabrics, cloth - No. 110.
The needle must be set up all the way and tightened well with the screw so that it does not jump out during operation. The flat (sawed-off) side of the bulb on the needle should be facing away from you. And do not install industrial-style needles with a round flask. Such needles lead to skips and even to serious breakages, in particular breakage of the sewing machine needle.
Before threading the lower thread, you need to turn the handwheel to put the needle in the upper position, pull out the needle plate and grab the latch of the bobbin case with two fingers of your left hand to pull it out of the shuttle of the machine. By the way, when you install it back, you should hear a faint click. If the latch does not work, then the bobbin case may turn on the axis and break the needle.
The thread is brought under the spring plate of the cap, which creates tension in the lower thread. The tension is adjusted by a screw that presses this plate. Turning the screw to the left loosens the tension, and vice versa. Only unscrew no more than half a turn, otherwise the screw may pop out and be lost.
The bottom thread should come out freely without effort, but with a slight perceptible tension. The lower thread tension is rarely adjusted. Basically, it needs to be changed when sewing too thin fabrics or knitwear, as well as when using very thin threads.
4. Control of the sewing machine Chaika, Podolsk
Often the bobbin case of the Seagull sewing machine is called a shuttle or a bobbin. This is wrong, every detail has its own name.
To sew a normal straight stitch, the zigzag width lever must be set to the number "0" and the position of the stitch selection switch should be set to the straight stitch. Set the desired stitch length, usually 3 or 4 mm, thread correctly. The shuttle course consists of a shuttle and a bobbin case. The bobbin with lower thread is inserted into the bobbin case.
Before starting work, check the position of the rack teeth. For sewing medium fabrics, the selector lever should be in the "H" position - normal. "B" - embroidery, that is, the teeth of the rail during the operation of the sewing machine should not come out of the needle plate and not advance the fabric. "SH" - silk, thin fabrics.
The guideline for the correct position of the rack teeth is the position of these letters on top.
To sew a zigzag stitch, set the zigzag width to "0 - 5" and select zigzag on the stitch selector. Do not forget to reduce the stitch length to 1 - 3 mm, otherwise the zigzag will be too sparse.
The tension of the threads when performing a zigzag stitch needs to be adjusted additionally. Adjust the upper thread tension so that both threads are pulled evenly into the fabric. Please note that too much upper thread tension will cause the fabric to pinch when sewing. You may also need to adjust the bobbin thread tension.
The trademark sound of the Seagull sewing machine occurs at the knot (L). During operation, the bevel gear periodically touches the machine frame. Theoretically, knocking can be eliminated, but only a master can do this. However, you can reduce the noise of this unit yourself if you lubricate the gear teeth with a thick lubricant, such as graphite grease.
Depending on the operating conditions of the sewing machine, lubrication and cleaning should be done periodically, but at least once every six months. Oil for lubrication should only be used special, designed for lubricating sewing machines. Other types of oils may cause rough running.
Half of sewing machine malfunctions begin due to improper care behind the sewing machine. The most common case is when, after a year, the machine is taken out of the pantry and it turns out that it makes passes, breaks the thread, etc. But before there were no complaints about her work. You will find out why this happens in the article.
Factory instructions for Seagull contains several pages on how to lubricate the machine. In fact, these recommendations can be simplified and only those places where there is friction of metal parts can be lubricated.
To have access to some nodes, you need to remove the top cover of the machine, reinforced with two screws and the bottom protection (plywood), attached to wooden body 4 petals. Do not get carried away with excessive lubrication, especially in the needle area. If you do not want to eventually get an unpleasant oil stain when sewing, then 2-3 drops of oil are enough to lubricate one node in this compartment.
To clean the shuttle and the shuttle compartment, it is convenient to use a hard glue brush, and for lubrication - a regular medical syringe.
