To thread the machine, first raise the presser foot and turn off the power. Follow the threading diagram on the machine, ensuring the thread passes through the tension discs, take-up lever, and needle.
Check if the needle is the correct size and type for the fabric. Ensure it is inserted correctly and not damaged. Also, verify that the tension settings are appropriate and that there are no obstructions in the sewing path.
To adjust the tension, use the tension dial located on the machine. Increase tension by turning the dial to a higher number, and decrease it by turning to a lower number. Test on a scrap fabric to find the right balance.
Regularly clean the machine, especially the bobbin area, and oil it according to the manual. Replace needles frequently and ensure the machine is dust-free. Schedule professional servicing annually.
Check the threading path for any mistakes, adjust the tension settings, and ensure the needle is not bent or dull. Also, verify the bobbin is correctly wound and inserted.
Ensure the needle is the correct size and type for the fabric and is inserted properly. Check for proper threading and adjust the tension if necessary. Change the needle if it is damaged.
Turn off the machine and inspect for any obstructions. Remove lint and debris from the bobbin area. Check for any loose parts and tighten them. If noise persists, consult a technician.
Ensure the feed dogs are raised and clean. Check the presser foot pressure and adjust if necessary. Make sure the fabric is properly aligned and not too thick for the machine.
Raise the presser foot lever and turn off the machine. Loosen the presser foot screw, remove the current foot, and attach the new foot. Tighten the screw securely and lower the lever.
Ensure the bobbin is placed correctly on the winder spindle and that the thread is correctly threaded through the tension disc. Check for any obstructions and adjust the winder tension as needed.
