Frequently Asked Questions - JSB21 VERITAS

How to thread the upper thread on the JSB21?

Thread from right to left following the diagram under the top cover. Make sure not to cross the threads. Pass the thread through the needle eye from front to back.

How to wind the bobbin?

Place the thread on the bobbin spindle, pass it around the tension disc, then wind it a few times around the bobbin. Push the bobbin lever to the right and press the foot pedal. The bobbin stops automatically when full.

How to adjust the thread tension?

Turn the upper thread tension knob. For a balanced stitch, the upper and lower threads should interlock in the center of the fabric. Test on a scrap. For zigzag stitch, slightly loosen the upper tension.

How to change the needle?

Turn off the machine. Loosen the clamp screw, remove the old needle. Insert the new needle with the flat side to the back, push it up fully, and tighten the screw.

How to sew a buttonhole?

Use the buttonhole foot and set the selector to the buttonhole program. Place the button in the foot to set the length. Lower the foot and sew. The machine sews the buttonhole automatically.

What to do if the lower thread breaks?

Check that the bobbin is correctly wound and inserted. Clean the bobbin housing to remove lint. Adjust the lower tension if necessary.

How to clean the machine?

Unplug the machine. Remove the needle plate and feed dogs. Use the provided brush to remove lint and dust. Oil the friction points with a drop of special oil.

How to sew thick fabrics like denim?

Use a denim needle and set the stitch length to 4 or 5 mm. Raise the presser foot as high as possible using the double lever. Sew slowly.

How to do embroidery with this machine?

Remove the presser foot and needle plate, install the embroidery plate. Lower the feed dogs with the lever. Use an embroidery hoop and set the upper thread tension looser.

Why does the needle break?

Possible causes: needle incorrectly installed, bent needle, loose clamp screw, upper thread tension too strong, needle too fine for the fabric, or changing stitch while needle is down. Check and correct.
