To thread the Brother XS37, raise the presser foot and turn the handwheel to raise the needle to its highest position. Follow the threading path indicated on the machine, ensuring the thread is securely placed in the tension disc and take-up lever. Finish by threading the needle from front to back.
Skipped stitches can be caused by a dull needle, incorrect threading, or using an incompatible needle for the fabric. Replace the needle, rethread the machine, and ensure you are using the correct needle and thread combination.
Adjust the tension by using the tension control dial located on the front of the machine. For general sewing, the tension should be set between 4 and 6. Test on scrap fabric to find the optimal tension setting for your project.
Ensure that the feed dogs are raised and the presser foot is down. Check for any obstructions or lint build-up that might be affecting the feed dogs. Adjust stitch length if necessary.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the bobbin area, changing needles frequently, and oiling the machine as per the instructions in the manual. Always unplug the machine before performing maintenance.
Place the spool of thread on the spool pin and secure it with the cap. Guide the thread through the tension disc and wind it around the bobbin a few times. Place the bobbin on the winder shaft and push it to the right. Start the machine to wind the bobbin evenly.
Unusual noises can indicate a need for cleaning or maintenance. Check for tangled thread, lint build-up, or loose screws. If the noise persists, consult the manual or a professional technician.
Use the stitch selector dial located on the front of the machine to choose your desired stitch pattern. Refer to the stitch chart on the machine for available options and adjust the stitch length and width if needed.
Yes, the Brother XS37 can handle heavy fabrics. Use the appropriate needle (such as a size 16 or 18) and adjust the presser foot pressure to accommodate thicker materials. Sew slowly to ensure consistent stitching.
Thread bunching is often due to incorrect threading or tension issues. Rethread the machine, ensuring the thread is seated correctly in the tension disc. Check bobbin threading and tension as well.
