and
making
knitting impossible.
Attach
Arm
properly
to Carriage.

Manual page 3
Check how
the edge
of Fabric
Presser
touches
Needles.
If a
clearance
exists
between the edge
of a
Fabric
Presser and
Needles,
the
yarn is
prevented
from
coming off Latches
because of insufficient
pressing
force on the
fabric,
causing
stitches
float.

a
clearance
between the
edge of a
Fabric
Presser
and
Sinker is too
wide,
the

Check the
condition
of Needles.
If Needles
get
their
Hooks
and Latches
bent,
the
yarn
can
neither
knock
over
Hooks
nor can be
pushed
behind
Latches,
and
Stitches
float as a
result.
Correct the
bent
Hooks and
Latches.
If
irreparable,
replace
those
Needles
with
new
ones.
