Major Problems With New Sewing Machine

[lranger]

The machine is now sewing 2 oz. leather with a #18 needle and #69 thread, something it would not do ever since I got it.

Thanks again to Wizcrafts, and everyone else who tried to help.

Hi Keith, glad to hear you were able to resolve the tension issue. Often just a couple of tension adjustments can be the difference between a perfect machine and a big headache.

Also, noted your comments re-beginners using a machine for the first time. We try to give as much information as possible with our instruction manuals, youtube videos and more.

We also recently began offering a free lesson for first timers where they can call and speak with one of our technicians over the phone prior to getting started. In this lesson we make sure to cover the essentials of starting out, threading, bobbin winding, basic tension adjustments, inserting/removing the material, motor speed settings and more.

Feel free to give us a call if you need any more help!

My suggestion to all first timers is practice, practice, practice and then practice some more.

If you haven't spent ten hours learning the feel of the machine, speed control and guiding the work BEFORE you thread it up then you are not doing it properly
