Frequently Asked Questions - Janis VERITAS

What to do if the upper thread breaks?

First check that the machine is threaded correctly. Make sure the thread tension is not too high (reduce the number on the dial). Use a needle suitable for the thread thickness. Replace the needle if it is damaged.

How to adjust the thread tension?

The default upper thread tension is "4". To increase it, turn the dial to a higher number; to decrease, turn to a lower number. The lower thread tension is checked by hanging the bobbin case by the thread: a drop of 5 to 10 cm indicates correct tension.

Why does the needle break?

Possible causes are: damaged or improperly inserted needle (flat side to the back), needle too thin for the fabric, or wrong presser foot. Replace the needle and check its compatibility with the fabric and thread.

How to wind the bobbin correctly?

Place an empty bobbin on the winding spindle, thread the thread through the guides, then push the spindle to the right. Operate the pedal: winding stops automatically when the bobbin is full. Don't forget to push the spindle back to the left to sew.

How to make a 4-step buttonhole?

Use the buttonhole foot. Measure the button + 0.3 cm. Place the fabric under the foot, align the marks. Follow the steps by turning the stitch selector: (a) front bar, (b) back zigzag stitch, (c) back bar, (d) front zigzag stitch. The needle must be raised between each step.

How to clean and lubricate the machine?

Always unplug the machine. Remove the needle plate, clean the feed dogs with the brush. Remove the bobbin case, then the hook. Clean with a soft cloth and apply 1-2 drops of sewing machine oil at the indicated point. Reassemble everything.

What to do in case of skipped stitches?

Check that the needle is correctly inserted (flat side to the back), replace it if blunt or bent. Use a needle suitable for the fabric (e.g., ballpoint needle for knits). Make sure the presser foot is properly attached.

How to sew a blind hem?

Select the blind hem stitch. Fold the fabric as indicated in the manual, with the hem edge protruding about 7 mm. Sew slowly on the fold making sure the needle catches one or two threads of the fabric. Unfold and press.

Can I sew thick fabrics like denim?

Yes, use a size 16 or 18 (100-110) needle and strong thread. Raise the presser foot an extra notch for more space. Set a longer stitch length and reduce thread tension if necessary.

How to change the presser foot?

Turn off the machine. Raise the presser foot using the lever. Lift the lever at the back of the foot to release it. To install a new one, lower the foot shaft until it snaps into place.

Upper thread tension (1)

Basic upper thread tension setting: "4". To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next higher number. To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next lower number.

A. Normal thread tension
B. Upper thread tension too loose
C. Upper thread tension too tight

Lower thread tension (2)

To test the bobbin thread tension, the full bobbin is placed in the bobbin case. The bobbin case and gripper are then suspended by the end of the thread.

If the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about 5 to 10cm, when gently swung and will then remain suspended.

If the full bobbin case unwinds, the tension is too slack. If the tension is too tight, it hardly unwinds or does not unwind at all. To adjust, use the screwdriver.

Threading the upper thread

Note: For safety, it is strongly suggested you turn off the power before threading

a. Spool pin holder

1. Start by raising the needle to its highest point, and continue turning the handwheel counterclockwise until the needle just slightly begins to descend. Raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.
   Place the thread and spool pin felt (a) onto the spool pin.
2. Draw thread from spool through the thread guide to the upper thread guide.
3. Thread tension module by leading thread down right channel and up left channel. During this process it is helpful to hold the thread between the spool and thread guide.
4. At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again.
5. Now pass thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide and then down to the needle which should be threaded from front to back.
6. Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear beyond the needle eye. Trim thread to length with built in thread cutter.

When mending tears, it is advisable to use a piece of backing fabric to reinforce. The stitch density can be varied by adjusting the stitch length. First sew over the center and then overlap on both sides. Depending on the type of fabric and damage, sew between 3 and 5 rows.

DE Blindsaum-Stich

For hems, curtains, trousers, skirts, etc.

Blind hem for stretch fabrics. Blind hem/ lingerie for firm fabrics.

Note:

It takes practice to sew blind hems. Always make a sewing test first.

Blind Hem:

^1 Turn up the hem to the desired width and press. Fold back (as shown in Fig. 1) against the right side of the fabric with the top edge of the hem extending about 7 mm (1/4") to the right side of the folded fabric.

Start to sew slowly on the fold, making sure the needle touches slightly the folded top to catch one or two fabric threads. (2)

Unfold the fabric when hemming is completed and press.

Lingerie Stitch:

Turn up the hem to the desired width and press. Place fabric right side up with edge of hem to the left. Begin sewing so the needle swings off the left edge of the fabric to form a small scallop. Tightening the tension slightly will produce a deeper scallop.

• Remove the presser foot and the presser foot holder.
• Attach the darning plate.
• Lower presser foot lifter before starting to sew.
• Adjust the stitch width according to the size of lettering or design.

Preparation for Monogramming and Embroidering

• Draw the desired lettering or design on the right side of the fabric.
• Stretch the fabric between embroidery hoop as firmly as possible.
• Place the fabric under the needle. Make sure the presser foot bar is down in its lowest position.
• Turn the balance wheel towards you to bring up the lower thread through the fabric. Sew a few securing stitches at the starting point.
• Hold the hoop with thumb and forefingers of both hands while pressing the material with the middle and third fingers and supporting the outside of hoop with smaller finger.
  * Embroidery hoop not included with machine.

• Take off the all purpose foot and attach the buttonhole foot.
• Measure diameter and thickness of button and add 0.3 cm (1/8") for bartacks to obtain correct buttonhole length; mark buttonhole size on fabric (a).
  Place fabric under the foot, so that marking on the buttonhole foot aligns with starting marking on fabric. Lower the foot, so that the buttonhole center line marked on the fabric aligns with the center of the buttonhole foot (b).

Remarque :

Density varies according to the fabric. Always test sew a buttonhole on the fabric you are using to sew the buttonhole.

Follow the 4-step sequence changing from one step to another with the pattern selector dial. When moving from step to step through the buttonhole process, be sure that the needle is raised before turning the pattern selector dial to the next step. Take care not to sew too many stitches in steps (b) and (d). Use seam ripper and cut buttonhole open from both ends towards the middle.

Tips:

• Slightly reducing upper thread tension will produce better results.
• Use a stabilizer for fine or stretchy fabrics.
• It is advisable to use heavy thread or cord for stretch or knit fabrics. The zig-zag should sew over the heavy thread or cord. (5)
