Checking the needle thread tension:

The normal setting is in the white range between 3 and 5. The higher the

number, the tighter the tension. To

check the tension, set the machine at the zigzag stitch.

Sew a short seam. The threads should interlock in the middle of the material.

On Model 1147 the fancy-stitch thumb wheel has to be disengaged in order to sew the stitches on the finger-tip buttons. To do so, set the white dot at the setting mark, see page 27.

A stitch program chart is found on the inside of the hinged top cover. This chart is also reproduced on pages 72–75 of this booklet and shows all stitches and stitch combinations together with their possible applications.

The letters of the buttons on your machine determine the programs and combinations that can be sewn.

Insert new needle and push it up as far as it will go.

Needle bent.

Insert new needle.

Needle too thin or too thick.

Refer to needle table.

Needle bent and strikes needle plate because work is pushed or pulled.

Only guide the material lightly.

When inserting the bobbin case, push it in as for as it will go.

4. Seam is not uniform

Tension out of adjustment.

Check upper and lower tensions.

Thread too thick, knotty or hard.

Use first-class thread only.

Bobbin thread wound unevenly.

During bobbin winding, do not hold thread in hand, but pass it through the bobbin tension stud.

Kinks appear on top and bottom of material

Thread machine properly and check both tensions.

Cause:

Remedy:

5. Machine feeds irregularly or not at all

Lint has accumulated between tooth rows of feed dog.

Remove needle plate and clean out lint.

Feed dog dropped. (Drop-feed control is at right.)

Set drop-feed control at left.

6. Machine runs with difficulty

Thread ends in hook raceway

Remove thread ends and put a drop of oil into hook raceway.

7. The machine (1147) does not sew the stitches on the push-buttons

Fancy-stitch thumb-wheel is engaged

Disengage thumb-wheel: set at white dot.

9. Important note:

Before exchanging either sewing foot or needle, switch off master switch 104. Never run a threaded machine unless there is a piece of fabric under the sewing foot. If you have to leave the machine, even for a short while, be sure to switch off the master switch. This is particularly important when children are around.
