hello there
so for today we will be discussing about
the common sewing machine troubles and
their remedies
as a dressmaking student you must be
ready to perform basic maintenance
understanding the troubles that you
might encounter upon operating the
sewing machine
can help in applying remedies on it
in this video you will be equipped with
the skills needed in performing basic
maintenance
common sewing machine troubles and
remedies will be discussed
these skills are very important in
dressmaking
for these are fundamental skills that
you should learn to practice its close
competency
[Music]
there are two classifications of sewing
machine travel
the first one is the minor sewing
machine trouble and the second one is
the major sewing machine trouble
minor sewing machine trouble
includes problems that arise involving
incorrectly attached accessories
or supplies and adjusted tensions
or that requires a little dusting or
oiling so minor sewing machine troubles
includes incorrectly attached needle
incorrectly adjusted tensions
or improperly adjusted tensions and also
if the sewing machine needs dusting or
oiling
on the other hand the major sewing
machine trouble
involves surprising or removing damaged
spare parts
that made the sewing machine not totally
functioning
so if the sewing machine is not totally
functioning it is not
sewing maybe some of the spare parts or
the major parts are damaged
so they need to be replaced or removed
so
those are examples of major sewing
machine trouble
the following are the common causes of
sewing machine troubles
so if you are experiencing upper thread
breaking while you are sewing
your machine is not properly threaded
so the remedy is to set the sewing
machine properly
you should thread the sewing machine
properly so that you can avoid
proper thread breaking another one is
the tension is too tight
so if the upper tension is too tight
you should adjust the upper tension so
that
upper thread breaking will be avoided
[Music]
the needle is bent so if the needle is
then of course
you need to change the needle that is
the remedy
so that upper thread breaking will not
happen
another one is the thread is too coarse
for the needle sides
so the thread should match the middle
side so that you can avoid proper thread
breaking
another sewing machine
if this happens you might be having
improper setting of the bottom case
on the shuttle just like what is
shown on the video so you should set
the bobbin case on the shuttle properly
so that you can avoid the lower third
braking
another cause is the tension is too
tight
so if the lower tension on the bobbin
case is too tight you need to adjust
it so that you can avoid lower thread
breaking
[Applause]
[Music]
thread wound and evenly on the bobbin
case
or bobbin wound to full so if you are
threading the body you should thread
it evenly and then you should not
wind the bobbin too full
so that you will not experience the
lower thread breaking
another sewing machine problem that you
can encounter is skipping stitches just
like what is illustrated here
your needle is not accurately set on the
needle bar
the reason why you are having your
skipping stitches
so you should set your needle properly
on the needle bar
another one isn't much needle size or
thread to the fabric so
the needle size or the thread should
correspond to the fabric
that you are sewing so that you can
avoid skipping stitches
another one the needle is bent
so if the needle is bent you need to
change
the needle that is the remedy so that
skipping stitches
will be avoided another one
another cause is there is no enough
pressure
on the presser foot that's why skipping
stitches
is there so what will you do you need to
adjust the thumb screw
so that enough pressure will be
given to the presser foot while you are
sewing on the fabric
another sewing machine trouble that you
can encounter is
when the needle breaks so what is the
cost
using fine needle on heavy seam
of course your needle size should
correspond to the fabric that you are
using
so that the needle will not break and
then the needle does not go
through the center of the hole that hole
is what we call the stroke so the needle
should be set properly so that it will
go through the center
of the hole or the throat in that case
breaking the needle will be avoided
and then improper threading so you
should thread the machine
properly so that the needle will not
break
another one the needle is too long and
incorrectly set
so the needle size should correspond to
the machine that you are using
and also it should be threaded properly
and then sewing over the pins left after
basting
just like what you can see now on the
video
so you should not saw over the pins
that are there while you are sewing so
that the needle
will not break and then pulling the
material to one side
when taking it from the machine or while
you are
sewing so you should not pull the
fabric or the material forcibly so that
the needle will not break another sewing
machine problem
that you will encounter is when the
stitches
are looping what is the cause
so loop stitches are usually carried by
improper
tension so the tension
should be properly set
and you should check check it out before
using the sewing machine
so that the stitches will not look
another one is improper threading so you
should always check the threading of
your sewing machine
if it is properly threaded so that you
will not
encounter having your stitches looking
unbalanced tension on the upper and the
lower
thread again that is brushed up by
improper tension
so you should always check the upper
thread
in the lower thread tension
so that successfully will be avoided
another sewing machine trouble that you
can encounter
is when your machine is not failing
properly
so what is the cost the presser foot
presses too tight
for the materials so you should adjust
the thumb screw so that your presser
foot will not
press too much on the material so that
it will fit
properly another one is the fit though
may be smooth
okay the fifth dog is the ones that is
arrow there
on the video so it should not be
smooth and to avoid that whenever you
are winding you should have your presser
foot
lifted up so that your feet dog will not
be smooth
and your machine will feed
properly
another machine trouble is when your
machine
is working heavily
so it might be gone and neither general
or link so you should
clean and oil your sewing machine
regularly
so that your sewing machine will not
work heavy another one is the belt may
be too
tight hence exerting excessive pressure
on the bearing so the belt
should not be too tight nor not too
loose
so that your machine will work
properly
and then the belt may be too loose and
slip
on the balance while causing the
operator to travel
so again the belt
should be not too tight and not too
loose
for the sewing machine to work properly
in performing basic maintenance
applying the correct procedure and
sewing
will make your work faster easier
more interesting and challenging
here are some pointers that you have to
follow
in the manipulation of your sewing
machine
so you should start with the right tools
and supplies
have your needle thread screwdriver
pin tape measure scissors
ready for use with the tools at hand
you can start working continuously on
your
sewing and saves time
so you should apply correct procedure
while you are sewing
because it will make your work easier
and faster
thread the sewing machine properly it
will save your time
to get a correct threading refer to your
teacher
to check if you have threaded it
properly so make sure
that your sewing machine is threaded
properly
be sure that the needle is properly set
according to the directions for specific
models
a properly attached needle will make
your work without
any trouble and it will avoid
the common troubles that we have
discussed a while ago
set the stitch regulator according to
the project specification
and test the stitches for possible
adjustment you need to test
a scrap of fabric first before using the
sewing machine
so that you can check if the stitch
regulator is set
properly check tension dials and adjust
according to project requirement of the
stitches
correct adjustment on the tension dials
will make perfectly sewn garment
again check the tension especially the
upper tension
and the lower tension so that you can
assure
that the stitches are good for your
project
another standard for sewing machine
operations
is that you should turn the power off
the sewing machine when the sewing
machine is not
in use so don't forget that for your
safety
and then keep the sewing tools dust
the sewing machine then put a little
amount of machine oil in
so you should clean and dust the sewing
machine
regularly and keep your sewing tools
getting the stitch before you start make
sure the upper
and lower threads are back between the
two toes
off the presser foot just like what is
shown here
[Music]
with that i hope you learned a lot from
our
common causes of machine troubles and
the remedies that were discussed
as well as the standards for sewing
machine operators
so you just have to keep in mind that
you need to use
and set the sewing equipment properly so
that you can avoid troubles
and produce a well-made garment output
now let us check your understanding
about the machine troubles
causes
