Troubleshooting
Scissors are dull or not cutting effectively.
Ensure the scissors are clean and free of lint. For persistent dullness, consider replacing them as they are small travel scissors.
Thread tangles easily.
Ensure the thread is pulled smoothly from the spool and that the needle eye is clear. Use the needle threader if needed. Avoid pulling thread too tightly when sewing.
Pins or fasteners are missing.
Check all compartments of the plastic box carefully. If items are permanently lost, consider purchasing replacement notions separately.
The box lid does not close securely.
