TROUBLESHOOTING
1. The sewing machine does not run when the On/Off button is pressed to the “On”
position.
- The batteries are inserted incorrectly. Re-insert using the diagram provided
inside the battery compartment.
- Batteries are dead. Replace with new ones.
- Make sure that the AC/DC adapter is connected in the right position.
2. The sewing machine runs but does not sew.
- The machine is threaded incorrectly. Rethread the machine.
- The needle is threaded incorrectly. Make sure that the needle is threaded from
left to right.
- The needle is not properly inserted.
- The batteries are installed backwards. Check the placement diagram in the
battery compartment and reinstall.
Caution: When removing fabric after sewing, first turn the hand wheel to raise the
needle to the highest position. Then lift the presser foot and remove the fabric.
This will prevent the needle from bending.
3. The sewing machine runs slowly.
- Used and new batteries are mixed together. Replace using all new batteries.
- Use only 4 AA batteries.
4. The sewing machine stops sewing.
- Very heavy fabric or too many layers of fabric will force the sewing machine to
stop.
- The thread is tangled in the lower bobbin. Stop the machine and cut the
tangled threads to clear it from the machine. Rethread both the bobbin and the
needle.
- Poor quality stitching, refer to “Adjust Thread Tension” section.
- The sewing machine should run approximately for two (2) hours with new
batteries under normal sewing conditions. Sewing heavy fabric requires more
power, so it will reduce the running time of the batteries.
