How do I get the end of the thread started? There is a tail sticking out from the middle of each spool but i can't get it to unroll.

The way i do it is, i see where the tail is usually they will be a loose part of thread..i pull that loose strand and it comes undone

I think at the bottom side of the machine and at the top where the thread go's or if not well, call the company and they can tell you more. and sorry if I cloud't help you.

Make sure you properly installed the spool according to instructions. your string might be improperly wound...

Make sure you have the handle pushed down completely before you roll it out. I did not do that with my first one and that is when I started having trouble with it.

I haven't unspooled the entire roll, but so far, mine has been spliced twice on the roll. That wasn't an issue for me, but you may be pressing your luck to get that long a piece with this seller, as I've seen other posts about splices on the roll.

My auto-feed wont work either, I tried several times to get it to advance the line, I'm guessing its just broken. I have to stop what I am doing and press the button near the spool every few feet. I'm going to give it a better look tonight but I think I made a mistake with this purchase.

The plastic gears seem to get out of alignment, and lock up, when unrolling the hose. This does not happen every time but seems to increase the more you use the unit. The hose unrolled easier if the water was off, and the nozzle open. I tried two of these aquawinders and finally gave up and trashed them both. I even bolted them to the house and still could not pull the hose out. Would suggest you get rid of it, nothing wrong with your hose.

It doesn't have a start thread like plastic spools, but I didn't have any problem finding the beginning of the thread and I've used several of the spools.

Maybe line is stranded, so you need to take spool out and put it again into machine. But you need to secure both lines first before inserting passing thru both holes, then push the securing cap util it clicks. Cut excess of line in both sides by alingning with border of orange protector and cutting it so it will not going out of it. In YouTube are some good videos on how to reload spool. Hope it helps!

The threads are reverse. It took me a good bit to figure that out. Turn the nut the opposite way... Righty loosey. Good luck

I don't have a problem but the line only feeds out about a quarter of an inch every time you start it so it may have to be left to stop and then restart it several times so that more line can feed out again. The line only feeds out in increments. I never have to manually pull it out.

I am a new serger user, so all I can do is guess based on problems that I solved on other sewing machines. Check you needles and make sure they are not bent or rubbing. Clean all lint and dust. Rethread using manual as guide. I usually find my problem when I do those three things. Please let us know how the problem is solved when it is. :) Good luck!

have to pinch in the tabs on the spool. Look on the sides for indentations.

Sounds as if there may be a part missing. Mine hugs tightly to every roll I've loaded. You might need to replace the unit.

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

I had this problem also. The sheet has been rolled around the two rollers inside the laminator, or it is bunched up right inside where it comes out. You can stick a pair of scissors in there and see if you can get it to come out, but if its around the rollers you need to unscrew the bottom and cut it off the rollers. You could probably also just send it back to amazon, but it will still work after you untangle the mess! It is a great little laminator.

I had the same problem. To solve it, I put Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 on the six large bolts on the main, center post. You also need to shim the rotating foot treadles where they connect to the arm shafts. I used washers to make sure there was no left-right play where the arm shafts connect to the foot treadles.
