Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check if my stitch is irregular or loose?
First, increase the bobbin thread tension if it is too low and ensure the bobbin thread is wound evenly. Also adjust needle-to-hook timing/clearance.
How do I properly install and wind the bobbin?
Wind the bobbins thread first, then insert the bobbin case into the machine head. Ensure the threading process follows all steps (3-6).
Where can I adjust the stitch tension settings?
You must manually adjust the thread tension setting (4-1) depending on whether the primary issue is the needle or the take-up spring.
What should be done if the needle hits sewing hook or throat plate?
Adjust the timing and clearance between the needle and the sewing hook, and also check the position of the needle guard. Replace components if damaged.
