3. Finishing a Stitch
- Once you have completed your seam, press the Power Switch to turn off the machine.

- Needle Replacement: If the needle becomes dull or bent, replace it with a new, compatible needle. Ensure the machine is off and batteries are removed before changing the needle.
- Storage: Store the machine in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine not stitching or stitching poorly. | Incorrect threading, low batteries, dull needle, fabric too thick/thin. | Re-thread the machine carefully. Replace batteries. Change the needle. Ensure fabric thickness is appropriate (around 1.8mm). |
| Thread breaks frequently. | Incorrect tension, poor quality thread, needle bent or dull. | Adjust tension control. Use good quality thread. Replace the needle. |
| Stitches unravel after sewing. | This is a single-thread machine. | Always tie a knot manually at the end of each seam to secure the stitches. |
| Machine runs slowly or stops. | Low batteries, motor overheating. | Replace batteries. If the motor feels hot, wait for a moment for it to cool down before resuming use. |
