This is not a review of this sewing machine: I bought it myself and was not compensated in any way. All this gushing is just genuine excitement that for once, I sat down, threaded a machine, sewed a simple hem, and was finished. There was no back-and-forth. There was no frustration...
The 21 stitch patterns that the machine integrates include 9 decorative patterns, 6 basic, 5 stretch, and even 1 buttonhole stitch pattern. The stitch length dial will enable easy stitch length adjustment, keeping the seams strong and minimizing bunching. The machine is a little noisy. The ...
It is a great little mechanical sewing machine with enough options to get you started on the right foot. You can easily adjust your tension, choose a stitch, or lock and sew in reverse on this highly intuitive machine. Even though it is not computerized, I found the knobs and visuals eas...
But unless you have a fancy Coverstitch machine (I don’t personally know anyone that does) it’s very difficult to get the elastic perfect. Enter Fold Over Elastic. You sew it to the outside of the fabric using the small line down the middle where it folds as your marker. So first...

Whether you are a beginner in the sewing world or an expert who has completed innumerable projects, there is always a chance that your sewing machine might ...
say a strip of clothing-weight cotton cloth. Fold it double as if you were going to sew a seam. Place it under the machine and start to sew. Now examine the stitch. Remember what we are looking for—a balanced, even, stitch on the top and bottom, with the lock right in the middle...
Problem 1: Thread is Bunching Under The Fabric Sometimes it happens to have a really straight stitch on the top, but a “crowd” of material on the bottom. So why does this annoying inconsistency happens? The first thing that will go through your mind is that the bobbin is the issue. ...
The machine is skipping stitches A skipped stitch occurs when the top thread is not reaching the bobbin and the threads do not lock properly. Check to make sure that your needle is installed correctly, is not bent or damaged, and that you are using the correct needle type for your project...
