Is the only difference in the "00" and "01" stitch setting the needle position? Why is machine trying to Zigzag when I have it set for straight stch

Both our straight stich. One is center position and the other is left. Has nothing to do with zig zag

Linda, You may vary length and width on most stitches. On the stretch stitches the length is pre-set. Thankyou, Stephen

I've got the same gauge. same problem. I keep my batteries charged but the needle stays in the white until I run the cart. Then it goes down into the green. Don't know what that means or what the red means. I looked up the company on the net but couldn't find this guage listed. Amazon should contact this seller and discontinue selling this item. Like you, know instructions were included.

It tells you which foot to use when you select a stitch. I believe it's also in a chart on the manual, but I'm not at home right now so I can't double check.

Turn the handwheel until the needle is all the way to the left position and the green dots are lined up vertically. Making sure the thread guide is at its highest position, put the thread through the loop. Bring it down and thread it through the top hole, making sure the thread is ABOVE the stitch length dial. After threading through the top hold, bring the thread around and thread it through the bottom hole, also from back to front. Drape it over the thread tension adjuster, making sure the tension is not too tight. It must go through there easily. In front of the thread tension adjuster is another hole. Thread it through that and into the hold just on the other side of it. When you see the thread coming through into the machine, using tweezers, put it through the hook to hold it in place and then, using a needle threader, pull the thread through the needle from back to front. Thread should come out of needle facing you. I have found that using cone thread is easier than spool thread, although with some playing around with the adjustments, spool thread will do if its your only color match to the fabric. Make sure you double check the threading procedure as sometimes the thread goes under the stitch length dial or its not threaded through the thread tension adjuster properly. It's hard to explain without a drawing, but I'm not sure how to scan and put it on here for you. Also note that a blind hemmer has no bobbin thread. Hope this helps!

It might be that you have the meter connected wrong. Check to make sure the pos connection is on the first battery and the neg is on the last battery. I have the same meter and the needle fluctuates very little. I am thinking about changing to an LED one.

Try putting your needle position on zero one. That should solve the problem.

On two needle models, it has 4.5 mm (11/64ths) and 7 mm (9/32nds). I have had this machine (my first serger) for a couple of months and am enjoying learning a new way of sewing, nice finished seams and rolled hems. I like it a lot for the price.

You can stop sewing with the needle in the down position or move the wheel to where the needle is in the down position. This can be useful sometimes when doing corners or fine detail. The machine does not make nearly as much noise as my 1970s Singer and seems to have more power. I use it to patch and repair our favorite old jeans and it handles the heavy material well.

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

I ordered a replacement needle when i originally bought the item (ordered online). You should be able to go back online and order a replacement. (I think i got mine from sears).

When you manually thread, there are two ways, be sure to thread the needle from the side facing away from you. or take the needle and thread properly and then install in your machine

This looks like the bobbin in my machine. I do not have any trouble with uneven stitching or loops in the bobbin thread after it gets started. However I have had to order several new bobbin cases as the needle does puncture the plastic if it gets out of sinc.

My suggestion is to get a ruler and draw 1/4" line on the side you are wanting to sew. Then sew on the line - it will show you where your needle should be positioned. My Brother has to be on #1 for this foot to work. I also found I like to use 3.0 stitch when using this foot. It just seems to work best for me on this length. I hope this was helpful.

I do a basic straight stitch and not familiar to other stitches. The tool is very handy and for making medicine bags it works great.

This is a serger, so it has different special stitches for edge work... it won't have straight or zigzag stitch. There are tons of sewing machines that have up to 300 different types of stitches that sounds more what you might be looking for when you say you want an all purpose machine

When I use the overlock foot, I use a zigzag stitch. The closer together the stitch the better it looks.
