If the machine does not start: make sure

• Machine is connected to electrical supply.

• Power and light switch is on.

not formed: make sure

• Needle size and style are correct for the

thread you are using.

• Machine and needle are correctly

threaded.

loose thread ends.

is adjusted for the weight and texture of

your fabric.
