We will be giving free Tips/possible solutions how to best use your sewing machine. CHOICE OF SEWING MACHINE FOR A BEGINNER I have noticed over time when people want to buy a sewing machine this particular question always comes to mind “which sewing machine is the best to buy”. Note: All sewing machines are equally built rugged as to serve its purpose. The most import thing to consider when buying a sewing machine is availability of its spares in the local market as well as aftersales support by experienced service Technicians. This consideration is important as breakdowns are inevitable. |

The tension of the thread is adjusted by a spring and nut which increases or decreases pressure 4. Take up lever: It is a lever fitted to the body of the arm. It is used for up and down motion, feeds the thread to the needle and tightens the loop formed by the shuttle. 5. Needle bar: This is a steel rod to hold the needle at one end with the help of a clamp. Its main function is to give motion to the needle. 6. Bobbin case: This moves into position to catch the top thread and form the stitch as the needle is lowered into the bobbin chamber. 7.

A. “Why is there Noise while working with my sewing machine?” There are a number of factors responsible for a sewing machine noise during operation. Noise usually indicate a mechanical challenge within the machine parts such as an improperly coupled, loosed part or presence of a foreign object inside the machine e.g a needle or loose screw within the machine. Follow these steps below to troubleshoot and stop the noise before your machine gets DAMAGED 1. Stop the machine immediately and turn off the power into the machine. 2. Check if the machine is due for service. 3. Check the needle. Replace needle if necessary. 4. Check the lint in the needle plate or bobbin area and ensure no dirties in place. 5. Check the race-hook area with a pin tip or needle using brush. You can also blow it to remove any available dirt. 6. Ensure that no thread is wrapped up on the lever, no loose screw inside the machine and also no thread in the shuttle as this could cause noise too. 7. Finally lubricate your machine with sewing machine oil ( article on how to lubricate your sewing machine coming soon.......). ![]() If all these maintenance tips provided fails, kindly call a qualified sewing machine technician B. “Why is my sewing machine running slowly or on low speed?” Poor cleaning and lubrication are the major reason why your sewing machine will run slowly or on low speed, also if your foot controller is becoming weak it tends to be free, you will only be exceptional if your machine has sintered bronze bearings which does not need regular oiling. Follow these steps below to troubleshoot why machine is running slowly or on low speed. 1. Ensure that the machine is properly cleaned. 2. Oil your sewing machine regularly especially after use each day. 3. Check if bobbin winder is still engaged. 4. Check your foot controller and adjust speed. 1 Like |
