For heavy fabrics, use a size 16/100 or 18/110 needle. Ensure the needle is suitable for the type of fabric being sewn to prevent skipped stitches.

Ensure the bobbin is placed correctly in the winder. Check that the thread is properly guided through the tensioner and that the winder is engaged. If issues persist, inspect for lint or debris.

What are the common causes of fabric puckering during sewing?

Puckering can result from incorrect tension settings, inappropriate needle size, or uneven fabric feeding. Adjust the tension, use the correct needle, and consider using a walking foot.

Unusual noises may indicate the need for cleaning or oiling. Check for thread jams, lint build-up, and ensure the machine is properly lubricated. If the noise persists, consult a technician.

How can I ensure even stitching on various fabric types?

Use the appropriate needle and thread for the fabric type. Adjust the stitch length and tension according to the fabric's thickness and texture. Test on scrap fabric before sewing the final piece.
