KNOWING YOUR SEWING MACHINE —————————————————————————————————————————

Memo

When the sewing machine is started or the handwheel is turned after winding the thread around the bobbin, the machine will make a clicking sound; this is not a malfunction.

The needle bar does not move when you slide the bobbin winding shaft to the right.
