To thread the Dürkopp Adler 267, start by placing the spool on the spool pin. Then, guide the thread through the thread guide and tension discs. Pull the thread down through the take-up lever and finally through the needle eye. Refer to the machine's manual for detailed threading instructions and diagrams.
If the machine skips stitches, check if the needle is damaged or incorrectly inserted. Ensure you are using the correct needle size and type for the fabric. Also, verify that the thread is correctly threaded and tension settings are appropriate for the fabric being sewn.
To adjust the tension, locate the tension discs and the tension adjustment knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase tension and counterclockwise to decrease it. Test on a scrap piece of fabric to ensure proper tension settings for your project.
Regular maintenance involves cleaning lint and dust from the feed dogs, bobbin case, and other accessible parts using a small brush. Oil the machine as per the manufacturer's guidelines, focusing on the moving parts to prevent wear and tear. Always unplug the machine before performing maintenance.
Ensure the bobbin is correctly positioned on the bobbin winder spindle and that the thread is correctly guided through the tension disc. If the bobbin is not filling evenly, check for any obstacles in the thread path and make sure the bobbin winder tire is in good condition.
Needle breakage may occur due to incorrect needle size, improper insertion, or using a damaged needle. Make sure the needle is compatible with the fabric, and check for any obstructions in the needle path. Additionally, verify the machine settings for compatibility with the sewing material.
Uneven stitches can be corrected by checking the tension settings and ensuring the machine is threaded correctly. Inspect the needle for damage or incorrect size. Also, ensure the presser foot is applying adequate pressure on the fabric.
Unusual noises can indicate a need for cleaning or lubrication. Check for any loose screws or parts. Ensure the machine is threaded correctly and inspect for any obstructions in the sewing path. If noises persist, consult a professional technician.
The presser foot pressure can be adjusted using the pressure adjustment screw located above the presser foot. Turn the screw clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease it. This helps accommodate different fabric thicknesses.
Fabric puckering can be resolved by adjusting the thread tension and ensuring the correct needle and thread for the fabric type. Check the feed dogs for proper positioning and ensure that the presser foot pressure is set correctly for the fabric weight.
