Consew sewing machine is struggling to move (moving too slowly)

Cause of problem:

If your Consew sewing machine is struggling to move or it is moving too slowly, it is likely due to 2 reasons:

1. Poor lubrication

When you do not oil the important parts of your sewing machine regularly, there is increased friction between the various machine parts. As a result, your sewing machine struggles to move smoothly and creates problems for you.

• Poor cleaning of the sewing machine

If you have not cleaned your sewing machine for a long time, chances are that there is a lot of lint and dust accumulated around the moving parts of your sewing machine. As a result, the movement of the machine is jammed.

Solution:

1. Check the lubrication

Inspect your sewing machine and check if all the important moving parts of the machine are lubricated. If they are not, use a good quality sewing oil to lubricate the machine and it will start moving smoothly.

• Deep clean the machine

You need to perform a deep cleaning of your sewing machine and remove all the lint and dirt trapped inside it.

After that, your machine starts working.

Consew sewing machine making loud noises

Cause of problem:

Your sewing machine is making loud noises because:

1. You have not cleaned it properly.
2. You have not lubricated it.
3. There are loose screws.

Solution:

First, you need to remove all the lint and dirt trapped inside your sewing machine.

After that, check if your sewing machine is lubricated. If not, then oil all the important moving parts of the machine. When there is no lubrication, there is increased friction between the moving parts and that is why you hear loud noises coming from the machine.

If there are any loose screws in your machine, they will also create noise while the machine is running. Therefore, check and tighten any loose screws.

Consew sewing machine not making stitches

Cause of problem:

There are 4 possible reasons:

1. The needle has become unthreaded.
2. The machine is not threaded correctly.
3. The needle is not inserted correctly.
4. The bobbin is not inserted correctly or it has run out.

Solution:

Check if the needle is currently threaded or if the thread has broken and come out of the needle.

Make sure you have threaded the sewing machine correctly and that the needle and bobbin are also installed properly in the right place.

Consew sewing machine is making loose stitches

Cause of problem:

1. The tip of the needle is damaged.
2. The bobbin thread tension is too high or too low.
3. The bobbin is not moving.
4. You are using the sewing machine without threading the bobbin thread under the rotating hook body’s thread tension spring.

Solution:

If the bobbin thread tension is too high, try reducing it.

If the bobbin thread tension is too low, try increasing it.

Try changing the rotating hook or the bobbin. Replace the needle.

Consew sewing machine is puckering the fabric

Cause of error:

Here is why your Consew sewing machine is puckering the fabric:

1. You are using the wrong needle.
2. The clearance between the rotating hook and the up end of the needle is incorrect.
3. The pressure of the presser foot is too low.
4. The timing between the rotating hook and the needle is too fast or too slow.

Solution:

Tighten the adjusting screw of the presser foot.

If that doesn’t work, replace the needle.

Consew sewing machine’s motor is not working

Cause of error:

1. There is no power supply to the motor.
2. The motor has malfunctioned.
3. The fuse has blown.

Solution:

First, you need to check if your sewing machine has an active power connection.

The power cable should not be damaged. It should be connected to the sewing machine and the electric cord.

Next, see if the fuse of your sewing machine has blown OR if the motor of your sewing machine has malfunctioned.

Consew sewing machine needle breaks or bends frequently

Cause of error:

1. You are pulling the fabric while sewing.
2. The needle is not inserted correctly and it is loose.
3. You are using the wrong type of needle.

Solution:

Make sure that you are not pulling the fabric while sewing. If you exert any force on the fabric, the needle breaks or bends instantly.

Next, you should check if the needle is inserted correctly and it is not too loose. If it is then you need to tighten it.

Always use the right size of needle for your project. For example, if you are sewing a thick and strong fabric but using a needle made for thin fabrics then it will surely break or bend while sewing.

Consew sewing machine does not feed the fabric

Cause of error:

1. You are using the wrong foot.
2. The presser foot is not lowered.
3. The teeth are worn out and not sharp.
4. There is a lot of lint and dirt under the needle plate.
5. The stitch length is too short. Maybe close to zero.

Solution:

First, check if you are using the right presser foot.

Next, make sure the presser foot is lowered.

Now feel the teeth with your fingers. If they are dull, worn out, and not sharp then you need to sharpen or replace them.

Check if the stitch length is not too short. Check for dirt and lint trapped under the needle plate. If there is some, then clean it thoroughly.

Consew sewing machine is not sewing reverse

Cause of error:

First, you need to check if the model of the Consew sewing machine you are using even supports reverse sewing or not. If it doesn’t that is the reason why you are unable to do so.

Next, you need to check the stitch controls and make sure you have switched from straight stitches to reverse. If not then shift the stitch mode and then you will be able to sew reverse.

Consew sewing machine top thread breaks frequently

Cause of error:

1. The sewing machine is not threaded correctly.
2. You are using an old poor quality thread.
3. You are using the incorrect needle.
4. The thread tension is too high.
5. You are sewing too fast.

Solution:

1. Rethread your sewing machine as per the given guidelines.
2. Make sure you are using a good-quality thread compatible with the machine.
3. Make sure you are using the right size of needle for the project.
4. If you are sewing way too fast, then try sewing at normal speed and see if the thread breaks or not.
5. Check the thread tension. If it is too high, that is why your top thread is breaking. Reduce the thread tension and the problem will be solved.
