The Belt.
See that the belt is not too tight; it should
always be tight enough not to slip. If too
loose remove the hook at one end, shorten
the belt and rejoin.
Machine Working Heavily.
If the machine runs hard after standing idle
for some time use a little kerosene in the oil-
ing places, run the machine rapidly, then wipe
clean and oil.
To Avoid Breaking Needles.
See that the presser foot or attachments are
securely fastened by the thumb screw. Do not
sew heavy seams or very thick goods with
too fine a needle. A large needle and thread
to correspond should be used on heavy work
(see page 36).
See that the needle is not bent and avoid
pulling the material when stitching.
Singer Needles are the best for every kind of sewing
machine. They are the only satisfactory needles on the
market and are sold in the Singer Green Needle
Packet with the famous red letter "S" upon it. Singer
Needles can be obtained from any Singer Shop or
Singer Salesman.
Breaking of Needle Thread.
If the needle thread breaks it may
be caused by:
Improper threading.
Tension being too tight.
The thread being too coarse
for size of needle.
The needle being bent, having a
blunt point, or being
set incorrectly.

If the bobbin thread breaks it may
be caused by:
Improper threading of bobbin case.
Tension being too tight.
Skipping of Stitches.
The needle may not be accurately set into the
needle bar or the needle may be blunt or
bent. The needle may be too small for the
thread in use.
