Sewing Machine Troubleshooting
You’re happily sewing along and then all of a sudden your machine starts giving you trouble. Here are a few things to try before bringing your machine in for service.
1. If it’s an electronic or computerized machine turn it off and turn it back on.
2. Re-thread the machine, both top and bottom. Take the bobbin out of the case to make sure it’s in correctly when you do this.
3. Put in a new needle and make sure the one you’re using is appropriate for the fabric and thread you’re working with. Make sure your needle is all the way in and not in backwards.
4. Check to make sure you are using the right presser foot and stitch plate for the task at hand.
5. Check to see if your feed dogs are in the proper position.
6. Check to see that your machine plugs are all in properly and that the machine is plugged in securely.
If none of this works, give us a call or bring your machine in for service. Very often a good clean/oil/adjust will solve the problem.
Other Hints and Tips
1. Do a simple home cleaning and oil your machine regularly. Take the stitch plate off and remove dust and lint using a soft brush or Q-tip. Don’t use a pipe cleaner and never blow into your machine or use canned air.
2. When unthreading your machine, clip at the top and then pull the thread out from the bottom (the direction it normally goes when you sew).
3. Let your feed dogs do their job. Don’t push or pull on fabric as you sew.
4. Use good quality thread at all times.
