Frequently Asked Questions - GZ 325 Guzzanti

How do I thread the machine correctly?

Thread in this order: lower looper, then upper looper, then needles. Always raise the presser foot and needle to the highest point before threading. Refer to the threading chart on the machine and the manual for detailed diagrams.

What should I do if stitches are irregular or skipped?

Irregular stitches may be caused by incorrect thread tension, improper threading, a bent or blunt needle, or pulling the fabric. Check the tension settings, re-thread the machine, replace the needle, and guide the fabric gently without pulling.

How do I adjust thread tensions?

Turn the tension dials: a higher number increases tension, a lower number decreases it. Use the setting chart on page 17 of the manual as a starting point. Always test on a scrap of your fabric and observe the stitch appearance: loops on top or bottom indicate which tension to adjust.

Can I sew with only two threads?

Yes. Remove the right needle, install the two-thread convertor onto the upper looper, and follow the settings in the manual (reference page 19). Use the left needle only for a 6 mm seam width.

How do I create a rolled hem or picot stitch?

Remove the stitch finger (A) from the needle plate using a screwdriver. Set the machine according to the chart (page 17) for rolled hem or picot stitch. Use recommended threads (e.g., nylon for rolled hem). After finishing, reinsert the stitch finger deeply.

What does the differential feed do and when should I adjust it?

The differential feed controls the ratio of front to rear feed dogs. Set it above 1 to prevent wavering on knits (positive feed), or below 1 to prevent puckering on wovens (negative feed). For gathering, set it between 1.5 and 2. Always test on a fabric scrap.

How do I replace the moving cutter?

First unplug the machine. Loosen the screw and remove the old cutter. Turn the hand wheel to lower the cutter driving arm. Place the new cutter with its edge approximately 0.5 mm below the fixed cutter surface and tighten the screw.

The fabric edge curls or loops hang off. How do I fix this?

If the edge curls, turn the overedge cutting width dial toward 5 to reduce width. If loops hang off, turn it toward 7 to increase width. For lightweight fabrics using 3 threads (right needle only), change the stitch finger to type (B).

How should I care for the machine?

Unplug the machine before cleaning. Open the front cover and working table, use the brush to remove lint and dust. Apply a few drops of good quality sewing machine oil to the points indicated by arrows in the manual (page 31). Keep the lint tray clean.

What needles and thread should I use for different fabrics?

Use HA × 1 SP or HA × 1 (130/705H) needles. For lightweight fabrics (e.g., cotton lawn) use needle size 75/11 and fine thread (No. 100). For heavy fabrics (e.g., denim) use needle size 90/14 and thicker thread (No. 50-60). Refer to the needle/thread/fabric chart on page 11 of the manual.

* Synthetic threads are recommended for ordinary overlocking. Polyester thread, for example, is very useful for different types of fabric.

NOTE:

Keep in mind that the lower and upper loopers will use about twice the amount of thread as the needles. When purchasing thread for sewing, therefore, especially if it is an unusual colour, you should buy sufficient for your requirements.

2. STARTING TO SEW

THREADING YOUR MACHINE

Wrong threading may cause shippedstitches, breaking threads, or other problems.

Try to master the correc threading before moving on to test sewing.

Threading must be carried out in the sequence of Lower Looper – Upper Looper – Needle.

Open the front cover and the working table Raise needle to its highest point by turning hand wheel towards you, and raise the presser foot.

Before re-threading lower looper, remove thread from needle eye first, then re-threa the lower looper.

This will prevent tangling.

THREADING LOWER LOOPER

1. Feed the thread through the thread guide as illustrated.
2. Pull the lower thread through tension slot. Holding the thread with your left hand, pull down with right hand firmly.
3. Draw the thread through thread guide as illustrated.
4. Pass the thread through lower looper eye, and hook it around part A as indicated by the arrow. Leave about 4" (10 cm) extra thread.

HELPFUL HINTS REPLACING THREAD SPOOLS

When replacing thread spools, the following steps may be helpful for quick changeover.

1. Cut off existing threads near the spools. Tie the cut ends thread from new spools as illustrated (seamen's knot).
2. Raise presser foot.
3. Lower needle bar to its lowest position by turning hand wheel away from you. Carefully pull the existing threads until the connecting knots pass through needle eye and looper eyes.

CUTTING NEEDLE THREAD

Frayed thread may make needle threading difficult.

Draw the thread passing under the moving cutter and turn hand wheel towards you to obtain clear cut end as illustrated.

TESTING STITCH OVERLOCK STITCHES

After threading is completed, use a scrap of fabric that you plan to sew and test to sew in the following order.

1. Gently pulling all the threads to the left, lower the presser foot. Rotate the hand wheel towards you a few times to see if the lock stitches are properly formed.

1. Start the machine at low speed and feed in test fabric under the presser foot by slightly pushing it forward.

(This can be done with the presser foot down on most fabrics except bulky materials.)

Guide the fabric gently as machine automatically feeds the material.

1. Check thread tensions by test sewing on spare fabric.

2. At fabric end, carry on running machine at low speed, gently pulling the fabric towards the back, until about 5 to 6 cm of extra lock stitches are produced without fabric.

3. Cut thread by thread cutter in face cover, or with scissors.

* If the stitch length control of your machine does not have R or P, please set the tension control of lower looper thread at 7-9 and stitch length dial at 1-2 (for roll hem) or 3-4 (for picot stitch).

Note:

The above settings of tension and overedge cutting width dial are for general guidance. A little fine tuning will improve your stitching in many cases. Following advice helps you.

1. Turn overedge cutting width dial.
2. Adjust needle tensions when you sew thin or thick material.
3. Reduce the tension when you use thick thread.
4. Incorrect tension setting causes stitch skipping. Adjust the tension setting.
5. Tension setting will have problem when needle setting is incorrect.

Try test-sewing with a piece of fabric you are going to use and find the best settings.

THREE-THREAD OVERLOCK WITH ONE NEEDLE

By threading the LEFT needle only a width of 6mm will be produced and by threading the RIGHT needle only a width of 3.8mm will be produced.

CONVERTING TO TWO-THREAD USE

To convert to two thread use, first open the front cover and working table and raise needle to its highest point by turning hand wheel towards you. Remove the right needle and use the left needle.

Please keep the unused needle on the needle pad.

Pull out the convertor as shown in Fig.1.

Attach the two-thread convertor onto the upper looper as shown in Fig. 2, Fig.3.

When not using convertor, insert it deep and keep as illustrated in Fig.4.

NARROW AND ROLLED HEM, PICOT STITCH

Narrow and rolled edge is ideal for use on thin materials such as georgette crepe, crepe de chine, silk etc. Also, picot stitch can be produced particularly when sewing on fine 'scarflike' materials. In view of the nature of these hems, they are unsuitable for use on 'hard' or 'heavy' materials.

1. Raise the presser foot.
2. Open the front cover and working table.
3. Remove the stitch finger from the needle plate by screw driver and keep it in the front cover as illustrated or in the accessory bag.
4. Set the machine according to page 17.

NOTE:

1. Please use following recommended thread for making ideal seams.
2. After finishing, reset the stitch finger in its place. Please ensure inserting it deep as illustrated in Fig 1.

ADJUSTING THREAD TENSIONS

Turning tension dial to a higher number gives a tighter thread tension. Turning tension dial to a lower number gives a looser thread tension. The higher the number, the tighter the tension.

Test each thread tension on a scrap of the fabric you plan to use.

TWO-THREAD USE

Just right Lower looper thread pulled to

under side

Needle thread pulled to top side

Decrease needle tension Increase needle thread tension

FOUR-THREAD USE

Just right Lower looper thread pulled to

under side

Increase Upper looper thread tension and/or decrease lower looper tension

Needle thread pulled to top side

Increase lower looper thread tension and/or decrease upper looper tension

Left needle thread loose and visible on under side of fabric.

Increase left needle thread tension and/or decrease either or both looper threads.

Right needle thread loose and visible on under side of fabric.

Increase right needle thread tension.

ADJUSTING STITCH LENGTH

Turn the stitch length dial until the required length is indicated.

The higher the number, the longer the stitch.

This dial can adjust the stitch length from 1 to 5 mm.

ADJUSTING OVEREDGE CUTTING WIDTH

Overedge cutting width can be adjusted from 4 to 7 mm by simply turning overedge cutting width dial according to the kind of fabric.

It is set at standard width of 6 mm when delivered from the factory.

Turn it towards "5" if fabric edge curls while sewing. (Fig.1)

Turn it toward "7" if loops hang off the edge. (Fig.2)

Stitch finger (B)

Loops may hang off the edge, when you sew with lightweight fabric using 3 threads (right needle only), and setting cutting width dial at 4-5(Fig.3). In such a case change the stitch finger(A) to (B) to get neat stitching (Fig.4)

DIFFERENTIAL FEED

The differential feed has two independent feed dogs, one front (A) and one rear (B). Each feed dog has an individual feed mechanism which enables the feeding of material at a different ratio.

POSITIVE DIFFERENTIAL FEED

WHEN SET FOR POSTIVE DIFFERENTIAL FEED, the front feed dog (A) makes a longer stroke than the rear feed dog (B). This has the effect of accumulating material under the presser foot to offset the wavering on the fabric.

NEGATIVE DIFFERENTIAL FEED

WHEN SET FOR NEGATIVEDIFFERENTIAL FEED, the front feed dog (A) makes a shorter stroke than the rear feed dog (B). This has the effect of stretching material under the presser foot to offset the puckering on the fabric.

SETTING DIFFERENTIAL FEED

Set by simply turning the differential feed control dial in the direction desired referring to the chart below.

The adjustment can be made between 0.7 (negative effect) and 2 (Positive effect). These settings give the best ratio of feeding.

For normal sewing, the dial should be set at 1.

The dial can be reset even while sewing.

EFFECT AND APPLICATION	TYPE OF FEEDING SETTING		FEED RATIO REAR: FRONT
Waver-free seams, Gathering	Positive differential feed 1-2		|---|---|
No differential feed Neutral feed 1			|---|---|
Pucker-free seams	Negative differential feed	0.7-1	|---|---|

FOOT PRESSURE REGULATOR

Presser foot pressure has been correctly set at the factory, so you do not need to adjust it for most of ordinary sewing. If adjustment is necessary, turn the foot pressure regulator to higher number to increase or to lower number to decrease pressure.

SEWING WITH EXTRA HEAVYWEIGHT FABRIC OR MULTIPLE LAYERS OF FABRIC

A wide ranger of fabric can be overlocked on this machine, but it is recommended to tighten screw as illustrated, when sewing with extra heavyweight fabrics or multiple layers of fabric. Open working table for adjustment.

Loosen the screw when sewing with light to normal weight fabric or turning overedge cutting width dial, or otherwise fabric may not be well cut.

The machine is set for normal weight fabrics from the factory.

BASIC TECHNIQUES

TURNING OUTSIDE CORNERS WITHOUT CUTTING THREADS

1. When you reach the fabric edge, stop stitching with the needle above the fabric.
2. Raise the presser foot and gently pull on the thread chain just enough to clear the stitch finger.
3. Turn the fabric, lower the presser foot and begin stitching in the new direction. Fig. 1.

NOTE:

When overlocking and trimming at the same time, cut the fabric along the new stitching line for about 3 cm, before turning the fabric. Fig. 2.

TURNING CURVED EDGES

For inside curves, guide fabric gently with trimming line of the fabric under the right front of the presser foot (or a little to the left), applying pressure at point A in the direction of the arrow with your left hand, and at the same time applying a little opposite pressure at point B with your right hand. Fig.3.

For outside curves place under the presser foot in a similar manner but applying the pressure in the opposite directions. Fig. 4.

REMOVING STITCHES FROM SEWN FABRIC

To remove stitches already sewn, snip off needle thread (s) at intervals and pull out looper threads.

CORDED OVERLOCK

Corded overlock can be used to strengthen shoulder, sleeve or side seams when joining or making up knitted garments. As a decorative feature you can use knitting yarn of contrasting colours to further enhance your garment. Your machine is equipped with a presser foot which has been designed to feed your cord or yarn to the left of the safety stitch or to the right. Follow instructions as follows:

1. Place a "filler" cord, such as a crochet cotton, gimp, wool, knitting yarn, or shirring elastic at the rear of the machine spool pin. Pass the cord through the cord guides (1) and (2) and then through the left needle thread guide (3). See Fig. 1.
2. Insert the cord through either the front or rear hole (according to the operation, see diagrams Figures 2 and 3), in the presser soot and pass it under and to the rear of the foot.
3. Place the material to be sewn as normal. Start at slow speed observing if cord is feeding correctly and increase speed as needed.

FOR JOINING SHOULDERS OR SLEEVES, pass the cord through the front hole, ensuring that it is fixed between the left and right needle threads as it is guided through the front hole. (Fig.2).

FOR JOINING SIDE SEAMS, pass the cord through the rear hole, ensuring it is positioned to the right needle thread. (Fig.3)

FOR DECORATIVE EFFECTS, you may pass contrasting colours either through the front or rear hole or if you desire, pass cord or yarn through each hole.

FOR MAKING WAVED HEM WITH GUT (Fig.4), pass the gut through the rear hole and start ROLLED HEM.

This is used for the hem of skirt, etc.

DECORATIVE EFFECTS

In addition to normal overlocking which is fully described in this instruction book, your machine can also be used for a number of decorative applications such as decorative top-stitching, butted seams ,pin-tucking or making lengths of decorative braid. See below.

Decorative top-stitching-using only two threads or using three threads (flat seam)

Fold fabric along the line to be top-stitched and sew over the folded edge, making sure not to cut into the fold. Fig. A.

Unfold the fabric, pull the ends of the threads to the underside and press flat.

The final appearance can be enhanced by using buttonhole twist or embroidery thread on the lower looper.

Butted seams-using only two threads or using three threads (flat seam)

Place two pieces of fabric wrong sides together and overlock along the edge. Unfold and press.

By using different coloured fabrics and thread a pleasing 'patchwork' effect can be achieved.

Pin-tucking-using three threads

Fold fabric along a line to be pin-tucked and overlock sew along the folded edge, making sure hot to cut into the folded edge of the fabric. Pull ends of threads to underside and press.

Making decorative braid-using three threads

Overlock over a cord braid, holding it carefully with both hands, making sure not to cut the edge.

NOTE:

* If you use blind hem foot(option), decorative stitch is made easily.
** Reduce the upper looper ten sion when you use thick thread.

DIFFERENTIAL FEED APPLICATIONS

Please refer to pages 19,0 DIFFERENTIAL FEED,

Differential feed is designed to minimise puckering and wavering.

It is also very effective for gathering.

1. Puckering

Puckering tends to occur on woven or sheer fabrics.

To obtain pucker-free seams, set the differential feed control dial at less than 1.

2. Wavering

Wavering tends to occur on knitted or stretchable fabrics.

To obtain waver-free seams, set the differential feed control dial at more than 1.

3. Gathering

Differential feed makes gathering easier on

lightweight fabric. Use it on waistlines, sleeve heads, sleeve bottoms and ruffles, etc.

Set the differential feed control dial between 1.5 and

2 to obtain the best gathering effect for your use.

IMPORTANT

The exact adjustment depends on the thickness and elasticity of fabric. Even the stitch length can influence the setting. The longer the stitches, the more the fabric is contracted.

Always do a test run with a piece of actual fabrics you use and find the best settings.
