Tips
- To reverse, pull the lever down
- To change stitch length, move the lever down and tighten screw to hold the lever in place
- To change the thread, it's easiest to cut the thread from the old feed and tie the new thread to it, then run the machine for a few seconds as the thread works it way through the loops.
- When replacing the needle, be very careful to not drop the holding screw (the tiny gap between the wall and the floor near the machine seems to have a magnetic pull). If the screw is lost, look for a #5 to replace it. There should be #5 screws in the electronics area.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble getting the needle to properly catch on the bobbin thread, check the following:
- is the bobbin properly installed and threaded
- is the needle facing the right direction
- is the thread leading to the needle properly configured (missing some of the thread loops can result in a failure for the needle to properly catch the bobbin thread)
