Troubleshooting

This section helps resolve common issues encountered during operation.

Features

Adjusting Stitching

Proper stitching requires balanced tension between the top and bottom threads.

1. Normal stitching should be neat with top and bottom threading neither too tight nor too loose. (Refer to Fig. A).
2. If the bottom threading looks like a straight line, the top thread is too loose. Adjust the tension dial clockwise to increase pressure until stitching returns to normal. (Refer to Fig. B).
3. If the top thread looks like a straight line, the top thread is too tight. Slowly turn the upper thread tension dial counterclockwise to reduce pressure until stitching returns to normal. (Refer to Fig. C).

Diagram Description: Figures A, B, and C illustrate different stitch appearances related to thread tension.

Sewing A Buttonhole Manually
