TROUBLESHOOTING Problem 5 Skipped stitches at sewing start Thread unravelling at sewing start 6 Uneven seam 0749M 0473M 7 Large degree of puckering (excess tension) 8 Material slippage 0978M Possible cause Is the thread take-up spring tension too strong? Reduce the tension of the thread take-up spring. Is the thread take-up spring operating range too large? Lower the position of the thread take-up spring. Are the trailing lengths of the upper threads too short after thread trimming? Adjust the pretension. Are the threads not being trimmed cleanly? Sharpen the fixed knives, or replace the fixed and movable knives if necessary. Is the needle too wide? Try using a needle with a count that is one lower than the current needle. Is the length of thread trailing out from the bobbin case after thread trimming too short. If the bobbin is spinning loosely, replace the anti-spin spring in the bobbin case. Is the sewing speed too fast at the sewing start? Use the slow start feature. Is the needle up stop position too high? Adjust the needle up stop position. Is the presser foot pressure too weak? Adjust the presser foot pressure. Is the feed dog too low? Adjust the feed dog height. Is the bobbin scratched? If the bobbin is damaged, smooth it with an oiled grindstone or replace it.
