How to Service Sewing Machines?
Taking good care of sewing machines will help them to give excellent service for many years. Perfect stitches and speed depend on the ability of the movable parts to function freely. Dust and lint from materials, mixed with machine oil, can cause the machine to stitch poorly and slowly. Loose screws or a worn-out belt can also cause problems. Unless it has a broken part that you cannot replace, you should not replace your machine due to simple problems that can be fixed. All sewing machines come with a screwdriver and a bottle of oil, which are the basic tools to service a sewing machine. Open the machine and learn how it works. By knowing where adjustable screws are, you will be able to maintain their tension if any become loose from excessive oiling or vibration. If the machine is skipping stitches or not feeding the material properly, something is wrong and it’s time for servicing. Cleaning is the main job when servicing sewing machines. The screwdriver and a piece of cloth are all that you need for this job. Remove the needle, the pressure foot and the throat plate which covers the bobbin area. Dust and lint regularly accumulates in the groves of the feed dog and around the bobbin holder. Cleaning these areas will allow the machine to feed the material to match the speed of the needle for perfect stitches. Check for loose screws and clean any dust or dirt from other areas. Finish by placing a few drops of sewing machine oils in oiling holes. Do not oil excessively and keep oil away from the belt. Sewing machines are important in the lives of most homemakers and people who love sewing. This skill can help them save or earn money. Alterations and mending are quick and easy when the machine is working properly. Keeping it well service will making sewing hassle free every time and the user will be encouraged to sew.

Where is the tension on sewing machine?
There are two tension adjustments on the home sewing machine. One is the top tension and the other is the bobbin tension. Both tension settings regulate the tension on the sewing thread. The top tension regulates the amount of tension on the thread that moves between the thread spool and the needle which produces the top stitches in your seam. The tighter the tension, the more taut the thread. The looser the tension, the more slack the thread. If tension is too high, the thread is strained, the stitches are tighter and the thread may break. If tension is too low, the thread is slack, and the stitches are loopy and loose. At ideal tension, the thread moves smoothly through the thread path and produces top stitches that are nice and even. The bobbin tension regulates the thread spinning in the bobbin and being pulled up into the bottom stitches. At ideal tension, the bottom stitches are nice and even, and cannot be seen from the top of your stitching. Refer to your sewing machine manual for the ideal tension setting on your particular sewing machine.
