Troubleshooting

Thread breaking during sewing

Check needle size (use a 70-100 Universal needle). Ensure the needle is not dull or damaged. Verify correct thread tension settings on your sewing machine. Clean lint from the machine's bobbin area and thread path.

Skipped stitches

Ensure the correct needle type and size are used for the fabric. Check that the needle is inserted correctly and all the way into the needle clamp. Clean the feed dogs and bobbin case of any lint or debris.

Excessive lint or fuzz

Although designed to be lint-free, some lint may occur with heavy use. Clean your sewing machine regularly, especially the bobbin area and thread guides. Ensure you are using the correct needle for the fabric.

Uneven or weak seams

Adjust thread tension. Ensure the thread is properly seated in all the tension discs. Check for any damage to the thread path or bobbin case.
