Troubleshooting Tips
Always turn the handwheel towards you
• Counterclockwise.
No Power
• Check main power supply is turned on, power cord
and foot control are connected.
Machine Not Feeding Fabric
• Check that the Feed Dogs are raised and clean.
These are the teeth under the presser foot that feed
the fabric when stitching. When the drop feed lever
is moved from the lowered position to the raised
position the feed teeth do not come up at the needle
plate until you turn the handwheel wheel towards
you.
• Check that the stitch length is set for correct weight
of fabric.
Skipped / Bad Stitching
• Rethread the machine with the presser foot raised
and the take up lever in the highest position. Follow
the threading guides and check that the thread is in
the take up lever.
• Check that the needle is inserted correctly, fl at side
to the back.
• Check that the needle is not bent or blunt and is the
correct type of needle.
• Check that the tension setting is correct (average
setting for a straight stitch is approx. 4).
• Check that the tension disc area is clean.
• Check that the bobbin is placed in the bobbin case
correctly.

Top Tips
Happy Sewing!
Bobbin Winding
In order to ensure correct bobbin winding, follow the
below diagram for correct threading. Use both hands to
thread machine around the guide for correct tension.
Pro tip:
Because different brands of thread unwind in
various manners, sometimes it is helpful to lightly hold
the thread as it comes off the spool. This will help create
smooth and tightly wound bobbins - which is important
for a good stitch.

Top Threading
Before you begin to thread, make sure the presser foot is in the
up
position and the needle is at the highest position. Lift the
foot by using the presser foot lifter behind the machine. To raise
the needle, always turn the handwheel on the right side of the
machine toward you. This will help ensure that the threading
guides are in the proper position to receive the thread.
