Why does the seam gather or pucker when using my VERITAS Bessie?
Seam gathering or puckering can occur if the needle is too thick for the fabric, the stitch length is adjusted wrong, or the thread tension is too tight. Select a finer needle, readjust the stitch length, or loosen the thread tension to resolve this.
How to prevent seam puckering on my VERITAS Bessie?
Seam puckering may be due to the needle thread tension being too tight, the needle thread not being threaded correctly, the needle being too heavy for the fabric, or the stitch length being too long for the fabric. Loosen the thread tension, rethread the machine, choose a needle to suit the thread and fabric, or shorten the stitch length.
Why does the upper thread keep breaking on my VERITAS Bessie?
The upper thread may break due to several reasons: the machine might not be threaded correctly, the thread tension could be too tight, the thread might be too thick for the needle, the needle might not be inserted correctly (flat side towards the back), the thread could be wound around the spool holder pin, or the needle could be damaged. To resolve this, try rethreading the machine, reducing the thread tension, selecting a larger needle, reinserting the needle correctly, unwinding the thread from the spool holder pin, or replacing the needle.
What to do if the needle breaks on my VERITAS Bessie?
If the needle breaks, it could be due to several reasons. The needle might be damaged, or not correctly inserted (flat side towards the back). You may be using the wrong needle size for the fabric, or the wrong foot is attached. The needle clamp screw could be loose, the presser foot might not be appropriate for the stitch you're using, or the upper thread tension might be too tight. Try inserting a new needle correctly, choosing a needle that suits the thread and fabric, selecting the correct foot, tightening the needle clamp screw, attaching the appropriate presser foot, or loosening the upper thread tension.
How to fix skipped stitches on my VERITAS Sewing Machine?
Skipped stitches can occur if the needle is not inserted correctly (flat side towards the back), the needle is damaged, the wrong size needle has been used, the foot is not attached correctly, or the machine is not threaded correctly. Try reinserting the needle correctly, using a new needle, choosing a needle to suit the thread, checking and attaching the foot correctly, or rethreading the machine.
Why are my stitches loose on my VERITAS Sewing Machine?
Loose stitches can be caused by the machine not being correctly threaded, the bobbin case not being correctly threaded, a wrong needle/fabric/thread combination, or incorrect thread tension. Check the threading, thread the bobbin case as illustrated, ensure the needle size suits the fabric and thread, and correct the thread tension.
What to do if the lower thread breaks on my VERITAS Bessie?
If the lower thread breaks, the bobbin case might not be inserted correctly, or the bobbin case is threaded wrong. Remove and reinsert the bobbin case, then pull on the thread to ensure it pulls easily. Also, check both the bobbin and bobbin case threading.
