Hook it on the same hooks you put the outside ones on in the middle (if that makes sense), and really tighten the drawstring. Also, make sure the bottom net is in place so clothes don't drag down the bags. Hope this helps!

I went on line and printed out directions. I really like mine it locks stitches as your sewing. I bought my cousin one for Xmas, he works with leather all the time. He goes to thrift store or goodwill and buys the largest women's purse he can find and then strips it and then uses the leather for whatever he decides to make. Right now he's sewing a pouch to hold is canteen. Online, u tube illustrates how to use the awl. Best thing about the awl you can use a roll of thread for continue use be sure to use bees wax.

I have rarely had thread bunching up at the pressure plate--unless it was something I did (wrong fabric stabilizer combination or need of new needle) make sure you are using a standing thread guide with a net on the spool--adjust your speed to the project(this singer model messes up if to fast for project) I use it at around p letter in Speed for heavy projects if your doing light fills for light stitching you can speed up a bit(and works better for that and may solve any loops on top when your light stitching----make sure your machine is threaded correctly and the bobbin is in correctly --that could also cause the bunching problem-----hope this helps--pat

Well... Studiohut (the seller) should probably know better than me, but mine definitely comes off. I just took it off to see. There's an adjustment knob on the bottom that screws into the cold shoe from the bottom via 1/4-20 thread. Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean, or perhaps it's been re-engineered since I bought mine.

I am sorry I don't know the thread pattern. I thought it was a course thread?But don't remember for sure. I know once I traded knob on you place the plugIn aligned straight across. Sorry I don't know the thread side, guess 7/16??Lee

That has not happened to my stroller, but if it did I would use upholstery thread and string the ends together to hand tie the netting - almost like darning a sock until you can cinch it all together. Does that make sense? I've used that technique before with excellence results. Good luck :)

There are three different adjustment slots on top of the Ruffler that, I believe, adjusts the distance of the stitches to the edge of the material. There is an infinite adjustment wheel for how dialing how often the ruffle is produced per number of stitches sewn. I make ruffles for decorative pillows and usually leave my Ruffler in the same position.

Izzy, if you can thread a sewing machine, you can thread this machine. I carefully followed the directions in the booklet and to my surprise I got it on the first try. I also took the beginning serger class on Craftsy.com which helped. The difficulty with threading the machine is tight space. But with the tweezers its manageable. I would do it when you have an hour of uninterrupted time to concentrate on it the task at hand. Then go step by step. I never used a serger before. I was very leery when I started, but it was easier than I thought. I think this is a good basic machine for beginning to use a serger. I made a simple knit skirt using the serger. It was fast and I got a good result. I really recommend the Craftsy class which I watched prior to using my machine. Hope this helps.

I am sorry I can't answer. I got "side-tracked" ( don't all crafters once in a while?). Will use the paracord later.Dee

It's the one to change the foot for different items to sew. There is an instruction manual that came with it. Read it

Hi Cheryl, I had a very hard time with this also. I loosened the tension all the way & enlisted my wife's help. I held up the handles and my wife connected the hook. It took the two of us to finally get it. I think we were trying too hard; because, it just kind of went into place. Sorry, it's hard to explain what we did. It was very frustrating. Good luck

I love the results of the metallic thread but found it difficult to embroider with because it tangles so easily didn't matter whether I use the spindle on the sewing machine or whether I use my separate thread feeder it still twisted so my suggestion would be whatever you dofor feeding, loosen your tension and make sure to keep your design small and simple

You can use a little bigger but need bigger eye of needle. What size thread do you want to use? Monday phoneme. Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

Your machine should be adjusting tension automatically....I would check your needle versus type of fabric you're sewing/embroidering, check to see if you have a piece of thread broken apart in the head of the machine that could be catching on your sewing thread. You can manually adjust tension by running the thread back and forth at the top rear...then, Thread the machine. check your manual or on-line for the description. If you are embroidering, be sure you are using quality thread. I've used less "expensive" & paid for it in breakage in the middle of the piece. Try slowing down the stitching speed & make sure you are using the proper backing for your fabric. You could still have thread caught in the bobbin case which could be exerting too much pressure on the top thread. I would try a thorough cleaning, vacuum.....your machine out....never blow it like a computer. The sewing machine has oiled, moving parts & blowing the dirty, dust, lint pushes it into the machine and eventually causes a sludge..... Check to make sure you haven't knocked the timing out.....if the machine increases in frequency of breakage, look at your bobbin case...make sure the needle isn't hitting the plastic instead of the hole ...sliding off into the bobbin. Goodness, I hope this helpS!!! All else fails, call Singer support...they are easy to work with...I've called them in e past. THey will walk you through maintenance to get you up and running. I love my 400!!! Use it all the time....one of three sewing machines.....I have a 43 year old brother I can't part with as well.. Good luck MMh
