This model has 70 built-in stitches, but I only see 6 of them on the front board. How do you get to use the other 64 stitches?

It is very easy. There is a pull out that tells you which number to use for each of the stitches.. The pull out gives you the number and shows the stitch so I think you would be happy with it. I had never sewn before and I had no problems..

1. I think that if the fabric is too gentle bottom seam might pucker. Use a size 11 needle for lighter fabric and guide with your hands while stitching. Also for very, very gentle fabric you may need to place soft tissue paper below the fabric. Tear away after stitching. 2. Check to see if the machine is properly threaded. If the thread slips from one of the threading locations your stitch will be imperfect. 3.Adjust the tension. Turn the knob to each number, and for each turn practice the stitch on a portion of fabric. Play around with the tension number until the bottom stitch is desirable. 4. Ensure that your thread is good quality 5. Ensure that the thread in the bottom shuttle is smoothly wound on the bobbin, and is properly pulled through the slot 6. Oil the machine, especially the plate and shuttle section. (wipe off excess oil) 7. Don't panic. If you relax your machine will. I HOPE THIS HELPS. I LOVE THIS MACHINE. IT WORKS FOR ME LIKE A CHARM.

Hi Angela, The one that I bought is being used for display. It's proportions have been very consistent with a woman's size small throughout a few different brand names and clothing styles, so I feel like it's probably a pretty good model for sewing. I don't sew, but I could imagine that you'd need an average and proportional model that you can stick pins in, and this lady is that!

Yes. This is easy to do. When you open for a new design, you are asked the number of stitches across and down.

I had 2 large squares, not 4. There must be different configurations of 60 piece sets. I bought mine elsewhere.

Stitches are visible on the seating area, but it is flat at the back. I have the white version of this chair.

With my gran slam I received: the machine( of course) 5x7, hat, & sock hoops. 120 prewound bobbins, pretty large roll of stabilizer, 63 different colors of thread. Polystar thread is very good, don't buy cheap thread. You get a pair of scissors, a C D with about 15,000 different patterns. Everything that you need to start out with, but of course you will order a few other things once you get rolling with your projects. I love my machine, it is amazing to watch it work.

there are 3 different stitch lengths. i havent tried or even wanted to move the needle tgo the left or right of center.
1782034
I have both. you can program the 9500 to come on with the needle centered or to the left and you can move the needle left or right from stitch #1 (center). on the 6000, stitch #1 just stays centered. 9500 has more stitches and the alphabet letters. that's about it. the 9500 may also come with a quarter inch foot.

That is what I thought too.But if you look closely,there is a little square ,a picture of what the assembled pieces would look like.It is up to you if you want to follow it to the "T" or you want widen the pattern or shorten it or add your own variation.It all work!

I got this answer through google. Maybe it will work for you: Best Answer - Chosen by Voters Unthread the machine, top and bottom. Place a sheet of paper under the presser foot, lower the foot, and "sew". Does the needle move? If not, check that the bobbin winder is off. Does the paper move? If not, check the stitch length is set to something reasonable (like 3 mm instead of 0 or 0.5mm), and that the feed dogs are raised (check the manual for the section on raising or lowering the feed dogs or free motion embroidery or free motion quilting) Still no luck? Pull the needleplate and do a good cleaning (vacuum and brush only, please -- compressed air just forces the lint in further) especially around the feed dogs and in the bobbin case area. Lubricate if the manual directs. Works on paper, doesn't work when you thread up? Are you starting the seam correctly, and making sure you hang on to the thread ends for the first couple of stitches? Here are some stitching issues caused by not threading correctly and/or not starting the seam correctly: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/vi... Notice that the last pair of photos illustrates a jam that was so bad it brought my machine to a halt -- caused by incorrect seam starting and poor threading. (pictures are in pairs... blue thread on top, red thread in the bobbin.) If you still can't get it to work, it's probably repair shop time... it's probably going to need parts or more adjustment than you can do, or you've missed a spot in extracting jammed thread bits. Over the years I've seen two machines that were really unable to transport fabrics... one had a broken linkage to the feed dogs, and the other had fractured a feed dog (and I'm still not sure how that happened!)

I researched each foot online and then labeled them in the organizer. You can Google sewing machine feet and identify them by picture. I was able to find a chart.

It won't stick to fabrics well enough to use. But if you have a needle and thread, there is no reason you couldn't put a few stitches on each side!

If the design fits into the frame the machine will stitch it. It's based on the dimensions of the design not the amount of stitches.

This is a serger, so it has different special stitches for edge work... it won't have straight or zigzag stitch. There are tons of sewing machines that have up to 300 different types of stitches that sounds more what you might be looking for when you say you want an all purpose machine

When I use the overlock foot, I use a zigzag stitch. The closer together the stitch the better it looks.

Your cast on stitches are determined by the size of socks you're making. Your pattern should tell you the number to cast on and you can adjust it accordingly. Just make sure that you cast on according to what corresponds with your pattern. For example if your pattern is a multiple of 4 then you don't want to add 1, 2 or 3 stitches. You'll need to add or subtract 4 stitches at a time to follow the design pattern so it works out or the socks won't look like you're expecting them to. Always keep a notebook of changes you've made and patterns you've changed including the book it was in, page number and yarn you used. Then you're ready to make another pair without too much trouble. I have 2 looms and work on each one a row or two at a time using row counters that are numbered with a Sharpie 1 and 2, and the looms are marked 1 and 2 on the bottom. Well worth the cost of another sock loom. Never have to make that dreaded "other sock" because the pair is done at the same time. YouTube has tons of videos on loom knitting socks that are very helpful!
