Troubleshooting the Stitch Master
®
The more we understand our machines, the better they work for us. Stitch Master
Sewing machines are actually rather simple, and adjustments can be easy if you take
a little time to get to know your machine. Use this next section as a guide to better
understand your Stitch Master and to help fine tune and resolve common sewing
machine problems.
Material Surface is Being Damaged
Surface marring is damage to leather and other delicate material surfaces. The Stitch Master
sewing machine has special knurled surface feet and feed dogs to reduce marring. To further
avoid marring, reduce the amount of pressure down on the presser feet by nearly unthreading the
pressure regulating thumb screw from the machine. See “Adjusting Presser Foot Tension” (p. 38).
