Frequently Asked Questions - GZ-118 Guzzanti

How do I thread the Guzzanti GZ-118 sewing machine?
Place the spool on the spool pin. Pass the thread through the thread guide, down to the tension discs, and up through the take-up lever. Then thread the needle from front to back. Refer to the manual for a diagram.
How do I wind the bobbin?
Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder shaft. Guide the thread through the bobbin tension disc and wrap a few turns. Push the winder to the start position and press the foot pedal to wind. Stop when full.
How do I adjust the stitch length and width?
Use the stitch length dial to select a length from 0 to 4 mm and the stitch width dial for width from 0 to 5 mm. Settings may vary by stitch pattern.
How do I change the needle?
Turn off the machine. Loosen the needle clamp screw with a screwdriver. Remove the old needle and insert a new one with the flat side facing the back. Tighten the screw securely.
Why is my machine skipping stitches?
Common causes: a bent needle, incorrect thread tension, or wrong needle type for the fabric. Replace the needle, rethread the machine, and check the tension settings.
How do I clean and oil the sewing machine?
Turn off and unplug the machine. Remove the needle plate and clean lint with a brush. Apply sewing machine oil to the indicated points (see manual). Wipe excess oil.
How do I replace the built-in light?
The GZ-118 uses an LED light which typically lasts the machine's lifetime. If replacement is needed, contact Guzzanti service or a qualified technician.
What type of needles should I use?
Use domestic sewing machine needles (e.g., size 75/11 to 90/14) for most fabrics. Heavier fabrics require larger needles (100/16 or 110/18). Always use new, sharp needles.
How do I fix tension issues?
Check the upper thread tension dial (higher for tighter, lower for looser). Ensure the bobbin case is properly inserted and the thread path is correct. Test on scrap fabric.
Where can I find the user manual for the Guzzanti GZ-118?
The manual is available for free download in PDF format from notice-facile.com or the Guzzanti support website. Search with model number GZ-118.

Useful sewing tips

Various ways to achieve better sewing results are described below. Refer to these tips when sewing.

1. Trial sewing

Use different stitch width and length for trial sewing. When you have finished, select the best looking stitch width and length for correct sewing.

For the trial sewing, use a piece of fabric and thread that are the same as those used for your project, and check the thread tension and stitch length and width. Since the results differ depending on the type of stitching and the number of fabric layers sewn, perform the trial sewing under the same conditions that will be used with your project.

2. Changing the sewing direction

When stitching reaches a corner, stop the sewing machine.

1). Leave the needle lowered in the fabric (under the needle plate) by pressing the needle position button.
2). Raise the presser foot lever, and then turn the fabric by using the needles as a pivot.
3). Lower the presser foot lever and continue sewing.

Needle position button

Guzzanti GZ-118 - Changing the sewing direction - 2

natural_image Illustration of a sewing machine needle stitching a flat sheet, with an arrow indicating fabric direction (no text or symbols)

3. Sewing curves

1). Stop sewing, and then slightly change the sewing direction to sew around the curve.
2). When sewing along a curve while using a zigzag stitch, select a shorter length in order to obtain a finer stitch.

4. Sewing thick fabrics

If the fabric does not fit under the presser foot

Raise the presser foot even higher to bring the presser foot to its highest position. Then feed the fabric under the presser foot.

5. Sewing elastic fabric or the fabric that is easy to cause skipping stitches

Use round head needle and bigger stitch length. If necessary, add one layer of lining cloth under the fabric for better sewing.

6. Sewing thin fabric or silk

When sewing thin fabric or silk, the stitch may depart from correct direction or cannot feed the fabric correctly. If so, add one layer of lining cloth under the fabric for better sewing.

7. Sewing stretch fabrics

First, baste the piece of fabric together, and then sew without stretching the fabric.

8. Free arm sewing

When sewing tube fabric or the part cannot reach, use the free arm sewing function.
