When I use the scissor button to cut the threads the thread snaps back through the needle and unthreads it. Why?

It happened to me too in the beginning. Later I found out that you can't lift (by knee) the press foot immediately or at the same time of pushing the scissor button. You have to wait for half second to one second.

This tool is used to make cuts close so that there are no 'tails.' The shanks of buttons may be too thick to use it. The blade may be damaged for clean cuts on wire.

Either you are not threading your machine correctly , your bobbin is not threaded correctly or you may need to adjust the tension on the machine. Don't adjust it a lot at one time. Just a little at a time. You may need to play around with it. Have patience.

I treated it just like threading a needle. Put it in my mouth squeezed it tight and pushed it through no problem, you could try pulling it through with thread.

I have not had this problem but could see how it might be a possible consequence of a manufacturing defect. Normally it takes a deliberate effort to move the blade lock aside, to allow closing the blade.

Yes, it very easy to thread. The needle eye faces frontward and you don't have to crane your neck to see the eye. I wear reading glasses but occasionally I don't have them on and an surprised that I can thread the machine without wearing my glasses.

Not sure. I have only used the straight one . Guess it's for when you can't get to the back of the material so the curved needle brings the thread back to the front for locking instead of the back.

Press the button on either side of the handle and pull the handle out. if need be, use the handle side of a wooden spoon to push the core out. It is frustrating - I exerienced smae thing, minus the cut the first few times I used mine. Best wishes to you!

You should use the scissors the way you would any others by cutting not sawing. If the scissors will not cut, please let me know and I will gladly send you out a replacement pair at no charge.

I am assuming that it spins with the spool removed? Also assume that you are referring to the snap-in line spool. I don't see how the spool could make a difference, is there something wrapped around the shaft under the head that is being caught when the spool is snapped in, or is binding the spinning head. if it's a brush type motor then dirt in the brushes, worn-out brushes, or broken brush spring, can cause intermittent operation which may seem like another unrelated action.

Try putting your needle position on zero one. That should solve the problem.

I usually use Maxi Lock cone thread. I never like to use the cheapest thread, I was taught that my garment was only as good as the thread I used.

You're referring to the little wire deal attached to one of the handles? On the set the I have it does provide a little spring-back action. Not much, but enough that it opens the handles to allow me to reposition the clippers for the next cut. Obviously you need to move the little clip so that it's pointing towards the clipping end of the clippers. By the design of it, it can't-not open the handles after squeezing them closed. If yours doesn't, maybe the clip isn't bent quite enough. Maybe use some pliers and bend the clip a little more? Hope it helps.

Hi, this machine doesn't have this feature, but, frankly, it doesn't seem so important (at least for me). When I want my needle to be down, I just lower it manually - it's very easy and precise. It was my first sewing machine too and, after sewing on it for the last 2 years I would still recommend it as the first machine.

Have you tried to push the round wheel in and turn it at the same time? That's if I'm understanding you correctly.If not please let me know .my serger is out in my sewing shop. If you still need help I will gladly go and recheck it and let you now what I find.

I did not have any problem using the thread in my sewing machine. It worked well on denim and regular cloth.

I have not had that problem. Is it possible you are pushing down on the knife? Do not press on the knife, let the machine do the work.
