Sewing Studio manual
3. Troubleshooting
Poor stitches / no stitches at all
- Check that the tip of the needle is undamaged. Is it facing the right way?
- Are you sure the threading is done correctly?
- Is the bobbin the right way? Is it too loose?
Loose stitching / seam looks gathered
- The top or lower thread is too loose / tight.
- The needle tip may be damaged.
- The thread tension is wrong for your material: for thinner material, use looser thread tension and shorter stitch length.
The overlocker does not make stitches
- Check the threading, usually the thread has come loose from one of the loopers.
- Always thread the needle last.
