Why won't the motor run on my handi quilter HQ Amara 20 Sewing Machine?
If the motor of your Handi Quilter Sewing Machine fails to run, ensure both power switches are on. First, turn on the rear power switch (to the 1 position), then turn on the power button on the front-left side of the machine. Also, check that the power connector is securely plugged into the back of the machine and the three-prong end is plugged into the power source.
What causes thread backlash on my Handi Quilter Sewing Machine?

What to do if I am hesitating too long at one point in quilting motif with Handi Quilter Sewing Machine?
Move more quickly so stitches don’t overlap or build up. When starting the machine, begin moving immediately. Sewing in one place too long will cause the thread to break.
What to do if there is damage or burr at needle hole of throat plate or other thread handling part in Handi Quilter Sewing Machine?
If thread is shredding at the throat plate of your Handi Quilter Sewing Machine, check for burrs or jagged edges. Gently rub with emery cloth to remove the sharp edge. Consult a repair technician to polish any hard-to-reach or delicate areas, or if the burr is inside the throat.
