2. The sewing machine runs, but does not form stitches.
•Incorrectly threaded machine. Thread machine again.
•Needle is incorrectly threaded. Make sure thread is threaded from left to right.
•Needle is not properly inserted.
•Batteries are installed incorrectly. Check the diagram in the battery compartment and
re-install.
•Caution: To remove fabric after sewing, first turn the handwheel to raise the needle to the
highest position. Lift the presser foot and remove the fabric. This will avoid bending the
needle.
3. The machine runs slowly.
•Used batteries and new batteries are used together. Replace with new batteries.
•Use only AA(#3, 1.5V) batteries.
4. The sewing machine stops sewing.
•Very heavy fabric or too many layers of fabric will force the sewing machine to stop.
•Thread is tangle in the lower bobbin. Stop the machine. Cut the tangled threads to clear it
from the machine. Re-thread both the bobbin and the needle.
•Poor quality stitching: refer to “Adjusting Thread Tension” on page 9.
•When new batteries are installed, the sewing machine should work for approximately 2
hours under normal sewing conditions. Remember that heavy fabric requires more power, so
it will reduce the running time of the batteries.
