Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures your sewing machine remains in excellent working condition.

• Cleaning: Regularly clean lint and dust from the bobbin area, feed dogs, and tension discs using the provided brush.
• Oiling: Refer to the machine's specific oiling points (if applicable) and use only high-quality sewing machine oil.
• Needle Replacement: Replace needles frequently, especially when working with new projects or if the needle shows signs of dullness or bending. A dull needle can damage fabric and cause skipped stitches.
• Storage: When not in use, cover the machine to protect it from dust. Store it in a dry, stable environment.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

• Skipped Stitches: Ensure the needle is inserted correctly, not bent, and is the appropriate type for your fabric. Re-thread the machine completely.
• Thread Breaking: Check for correct threading, proper tension settings, a burr on the needle or thread path, or a damaged needle.
• Fabric Puckering: Adjust tension settings, use a smaller stitch length, or use a walking foot for difficult fabrics.
• Machine Not Starting: Verify the power cord and foot pedal are securely connected. Check if the start/stop button is engaged or if the foot pedal is properly pressed.
• Noisy Operation: Clean and oil the machine. Check for loose parts or a bent needle.

If you encounter persistent issues, consult a qualified service technician.

User Tips

• Always perform a test stitch on a scrap piece of your fabric before starting your project to ensure tension and stitch settings are correct.
• Use good quality thread to prevent breakage and ensure smooth stitching.
• Keep your workspace tidy and free of clutter to avoid accidents and improve efficiency.
• Familiarize yourself with the different presser feet and their uses to maximize the machine's capabilities.
• When sewing thick fabrics or multiple layers, go slowly and manually turn the handwheel over thick seams if necessary to prevent needle breakage.
