Trouble Shooting with Your Sewing Machine...
Why Did My Sewing Machine Do That? |
|
To avoid breaking
needles:
|
| |
|
*Use good quality
needles.
|
|
*Change the needle
often, don't use a dull needle.
|
|
*Use a needle that is
the right size for the fabric and thread.
|
| |
|
|
Machine
feels like it is working heavy or loud: |
| |
|
*Dust or lint might
be clogging or caught in parts.
|
|
*Machine needs
oiling.
|
|
*A piece of thread
could be caught in bobbin or take up lever area. |
| |
| |
|
Fabric
puckers when you sew:
|
| |
| *You have not
threaded the upper part correctly. |
|
*Your tension is
wrong.
|
| *Your thread is not
correct for the type of fabric you are using. |
| *Your needle may
be dull. |
| |
| |
|
If the thread
breaks near the needle:
|
| |
| *Tension is too
tight. |
|
*Thread is too heavy.
|
|
*Not threaded
correctly.
|
| *Bad or Old thread
(weak thread.) |
|
*Needle is not in
correctly.
|
| |
| |
|
If the thread
breaks near the bobbin area or lots of thread "clumps" together at the
bobbin area:
| *Bobbin is not
threaded correctly. |
|
*Bobbin tension is
too tight.
|
| *Bobbin thread is not
wound correctly. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
If your sewing machine
skips stitches:
|
|
*Your machine needs
to be cleaned.
|
|
*Your needle is dull
and needs to be changed.
|
|
*The wrong kind of needle is being
used.
|
| |
| |
|
Your sewing machine is
making a sound but not moving at all: |
| |
|
*Check your hand
wheel and tighten it.
|
|
*Check and rethread
bobbin and upper thread.
|
|
*Make sure thread is
in the take up lever.
|
|
*Make sure your
bobbin maker has been pushed back over to the sewing mode. |
|
|
|
|
|
You Keep losing
your upper and lower threads:
|
| |
|
*Most likely you are
not pulling your thread out long when you are done sewing and you are
cutting your threads too close to the machine. |
