Why are the seams wrinkling when I use my Silvercrest SON 90 A1?

  Seams may wrinkle because the thread tension is too high; adjust the thread tension. Also, check if the yarn has not been correctly threaded and thread the yarn correctly. A blocked thread can also cause this, so check the course of the individual threads. Finally, the differential feed motion may not be adjusted correctly; in this case, correctly adjust the differential transport.

  Needles may break if they are bent, blunt, or damaged at the points; fit new needles. Also, ensure the needles are correctly inserted into the retainers. Avoid pulling the material too heftily; instead, carefully guide the material with both hands.
