Remedy: Make sure the machine runs with a stable and smooth start. The use of clean needles is critical and should be replaced following the lapse of a period, for example, a month or two. Avoid low-quality thread and machine threading. Make sure you thread the machine correctly.

  1. Missed or Irregular Stitch

This misfortune will be encountered if the sewing machine needle is turned around wrong, there is excess pressure on the pedal, and the needle is dull, bent, or missing in the presser foot.

Remedy: Verify procedures for successful needle penetration in the manual. With the increases in pressure in the pressure foot. If the needle is worn out, replace the needle.

  1. Fabric Not Moving Forward

Remedy: In order to get the employees under stress to relax at work use the measures of increasing the stitch length, raising the feed teeth, increasing the pressure on the pressure foot, and increasing the stitch length.

  1. Needle Break

When the needle is placed in the incorrect position, there is an increase in the pushing or pulling of fabric, the use of the wrong foot attachment, and placement of the incorrect needle plate.

Remedy: Attach the needle as the manual call for, ensure that the fabric fed normally and foot was used on when called for, and make sure the needle plate was correctly attached, also.

Remedy: Close the door and switch the power supply if applicable.

  1. Puckering

This may happen if the seam is too wide for the width of the cloth, the stitch setting is longer than the cloth thickness, thread tension is high, or stitching density (SPI) is high.

Remedy: Narrow down the stitch width, decrease the stitch length, ad-just the thread tension and set the SPI respectively.

  1. Birds Nesting

As for the birds nesting, you carry out by overlapping the fabric on the back and down to the bobbin case that is at the bottom of the machine. The wrong machine thread might lead to this or the necessary pressure might be lacking on the pressure foot.

Remedy: Turn the machine upside down and tie it and then create more pressure on the pressure foot.
