Troubleshooting

• Spool Placement: Ensure the spool is correctly seated on the pin and unwinding freely without snagging.

Skipped Stitches:

• Change Needle: A worn or incorrect needle is often the culprit.
• Re-thread: Ensure the machine is threaded correctly.

Thread Tangling/Nesting:

• Check Bobbin: Ensure the bobbin is wound evenly and inserted correctly.
• Clean Machine: Lint buildup can interfere with thread path. Clean your machine regularly.
