FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BLINDSTITCH SEWING MACHINES

Sewing machine operators can often help themselves when their machine does not operate properly. Here are some simple instructions, which if properly used, can save you time and mechanic’s service call.

What do I check when the thread breaks?

Poor thread quality (too old, or not strong enough) can cause the machine to skip stitches or break the thread.

Make sure you are using the correct needle system, See owner’s manual.

Check for defective needle (burr or blunt).

Check for incorrect passing of the thread.

Check thread tension, could be tight.

What do I check when the needles are breaking?

Select the correct needle size for the type of work being done.

Make sure the needle is inserted correctly.

Make sure you are using the correct needle system, See owner’s manual.

The ridge-forming disc may be set too high. Gradually turn the dial regulator in the “less” direction.

Check to see if the looper is deflecting off the needle as it travels pass the needle.

What do I check when the thread skips?

Select the correct needle size for the work being done.

Replace the needle with a new one.

Make sure the needle is inserted correctly.

What do I do when the needle skips the fabric?

Turn the penetration dial gradually towards the “more” position for greater penetration – the calibrated numbers on the dial can be noted and used for reference position for the same types of material for quick adjustment.

Check to see if the needle is blunt or damaged, replace with new one.

Check to see if the machine skip device is set on 1:1 (no skip) or 2:1 (skip) the stitch will skip the fabric every second pass if it is set on 2:1 (skip).

What do I do when too much thread is showing?

Turn the penetration dial gradually towards the “less” position 1 click at a time for less penetration of the needle through the fabric being stitched.

Check the thread tension. Could be too tight or the thread size is incorrect.

Check the thread being used.

We recommend Polyester 65/2 for drapery blind stitch hemming – except for heavy block-out.

What do I do when the fabric is gathering?

Adjust the thread tension gradually counter clockwise to loosen the tension.

There are 2 common types of blindstitch needles: LW X 5T & LW x 6T

7100SB/DB use LW X 6T

1 ST TIME USERS OF BLINDSTITCH MACHINES – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

If you have never used a blindstitch machine before, it is very important that you read these instructions carefully.

Failure to read may limit or void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Instructions:

• Activate the knee lifter. This will causes the feed plate/frame to swing downward and create a gap between the presser foot and the feed plate.

• Insert the work into the gap in such a manner that the folded or sewn edge of the material is alongside the edge guide of the presser foot.

• When the material is in the proper position, completely release the knee lifter. Run the machine slowly and watch the material pass the edge guide.

• When you’re done with the seam, to remove the work from the machine, heel back on the treadle to set the looper in the forward position. (see image below).

Note:

•

Activate the knee lifter, this will cause the feed plate/frame to swing downward and create a gap between the presser foot and the feed plate.

• Pull the work-piece straight back with a quick stroke. This will lock the last stitch and break the thread.

• To start another seam repeat the first three points.

Notes:

The needle must be in 100% good condition at all times, no nicks, blunt point, or bent needle will work.

When sewing flat seams make sure the work-piece is in deep under the presser foot to allow the needle to penetrate on the first stitch of sewing.

TO REMOVE THE WORK PIECE THE LOOPER MUST BE IN THIS POSITION AS ILLUSTRATED
