5.2 Knotting the Thread

After completing a stitch, it is essential to tie a knot to prevent the thread from unraveling. Use the provided knotting tool or tie a manual knot. Failure to knot the thread will result in the stitch falling out.

Refer to the image below for a step-by-step knotting tutorial, or the video in Section 4.1 from approximately 1:30 to 1:43 for a visual demonstration.

5.3 Fabric Guidelines and Applications

This machine is suitable for various fabrics, but please note the following limitations:

• The thickness of the fabric must not exceed 5/64 inches.
• It is not suitable for overly large, hard, or elastic fabrics.

The machine is ideal for mending clothes, jeans, shopping bags, pet clothing, and various DIY crafts.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your sewing machine:

• Keep the machine clean and free from dust and lint. Use a soft brush to remove any fabric fibers from the needle area and bobbin case.
• Store the machine and accessories in the provided wooden box when not in use to protect them from damage.
• Ensure the machine is powered off and unplugged (if using an adapter) before performing any cleaning or maintenance.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your sewing machine, consider the following:

7.1 Thread Falling Out

If the thread falls out after sewing, it is likely due to not tying a knot at the end of the stitch. Always ensure you tie a secure knot after completing your sewing to prevent unraveling.

7.2 Machine Not Starting

Check the power supply. If using batteries, ensure they are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. If using a power adapter, ensure it is securely connected and the outlet is functional.

7.3 Skipped Stitches or Uneven Stitching

Verify that the machine is correctly threaded and the tension control is appropriately adjusted for your fabric type. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent or dull.
