How to set up an overlock on the cardan

Janome sewing features. I really need advice. Additional.

Lovely Swabies, good afternoon. I really need your help or advice on what to do.

I have long dreamed of buying a modern sewing machine for myself, chose for a long time, looked at many reviews and stopped on Janome cars. They are very happy with them. A week ago I bought a beauty Janome top 14. Of the seller offered, it was she who liked me. I wanted without unnecessary functions (15 lines for me enough), simple in operation, reliable and not computerized, t. To. I sew from time to time exclusively for my own pleasure.

When I chose, a machine in the store, the seller checked it with me, everything worked, but “test”, t. E. See how she sews on fabric, did not allow the quality of the lines on it, said that they were not practiced. Since in this store there were the most acceptable in the city and the largest selection of sewing machines of this company, I decided to take. At home, she began to test her beauty, figure out how she works and what functions are in her, and was saddened. Could not adjust the tension of the lower thread

What I just did not do, and the tension of the upper thread changed, and I checked the position of the bobbin, and the cloves twisted the cloves in the bobber.Holder (or what this little thing is called, where the bobbin is inserted), and I tried different fabrics, and wound the thread from one coil, and from different ones, and from different ones, and from different ones, and from different ones, and from different contrasting in color, but one number, so that it can be seen where and how it pulls. Nothing happened

Particularly noticeable uneven tension on the seams with a zigzag. Of course, I am not a professional, but from childhood aunt, and my mother and grandmothers taught me how to determine where the “correct” tension of the thread in the lines, where the “wrong” is, and how to adjust it. I tried all the methods that I knew and which I recommended to me. Did not work out.

Yesterday I came to the store with a typewriter, explained the problem, unlocks for a long time, they say I didn’t put the bobbin, I used the needle (what else should I use as the wrong one that the manufacturer inserted? All 4 needles 90/14), and in general, the wrong fabric. I took everything with me, and the threads, and the fabric (jeans, linen), and the nose of the sellers in the instructions poked that for this needle number, these fabrics are recommended by the manufacturer, and before their eyes she sewed several lines of different ones to show that it was to me I don’t like it in the line and how the machine sews. We agreed to carry out the same operations on the model, which is much more expensive and is considered semi.Professional (I do not remember its number). The machine gave out the same result. I did not change my machine, I decided to return so far too, I decided to “spend the night” with the thought of what to do next and consult with you, maybe I did not check it and used it? Maybe there are some kind of “military” tricks that I don’t know about? Does it make sense for me to look for a master who would have established a new machine for me? Please help me figure it out.

Here are a few questions that were born in my head in connection with my purchase. One. On the machines of Janome, you need to use only those threads that are recommended? (for example, they are recommended in the instructions 0-60, and I took 5) and can it be that because of another number of threads, I cannot adjust the thread tension (the threads of one number were tucked into the machine)? 2. Can the density of the fabric be affected by the not that number to affect the tension of the thread? For example, the line is considered “knitted”, and I did it on jeans? 3. Is it really not all the lines can be performed on all types of fabric, and how then to determine which line for which fabric is suitable? I thought that on a thin jeans, which was doubled (we sew at least twice) when performing lines with a needle and threads recommended by the manufacturer in the instructions, all the lines should be high-quality, even those called “knitted”.

A colleague who understands more than mine, recommends returning my beauty to the store and buy in another, but I’m afraid that the story may be repeated

Maybe it’s still not in the typewriter and there are features of sewing on cars of this company or on cars “for beginners”.

PS. I have been sewing on cars since childhood (as far as I remember), there were old manual, Zinger 1912 release, a “seagull”, which with a nightstand. On all cars, I successfully regulated the thread tension on my own.

Lovely girls, thanks to everyone for the advice. The epic with the machine continues. Today with my husband, they took the car to the store. They didn’t return the money, they said that they could be changed for any other or take it for configuration by the master at their expense. Agreed that their experts configure them. I wrote it with my own hands that I do not suit me. Said that by the next Saturday they would bring. I will wait. I add a photo of the lines that I got.

Yellow thread on the zigzag. This is the lower thread, and red, which protrudes. Upper. Textile. Jeans in 2 layers. Lines in all modes of adjusting the upper thread are approximately the same. A white linen is visible by a dotted line (I don’t know what is called correctly). Its wrong side, where you can consider that when performing this line, the thread pulls even more, especially if I reduce the step.

These are the lines that I already made in the store in the presence of the seller and which they appreciated as normal. Maybe I’m wrong and such a line is really the norm? I’ll see how Voronezh specialists will set me a machine. It is there that the seller should take the machine for configuration.

PS. I have a control plan. Go to the atelier the other day and ask the tailors on the same shred of fabric to sew the straight line and zig-zag, which should be exemplary, to show these lines to the seller, if they do not configure the machine and achieve the return of money or high-quality machine, let him and after 2 weeks, t. To. I brought the machine to the car on time.

How to configure an overlock

Overlock. Very sensitive technique, so half the success. This is correct to season it, so pay special attention to this stage before starting to set up. All overlocks are configured according to one principle, so such recommendations are suitable for any model.

Overloks are sold with standard settings on which you can work, but sooner or later they are lost. The line consists of two needles and two loops of the buttonhole. This knowledge will come in handy to configure the tension.

To make settings, be sure to lower the foot down. Top the tails of the needle threads back. On the overlock you can scribble “by empty”, nothing terrible will happen. Thus, we get a “tail” of threads if the overlock works properly. In this case, you can try to scribble on the fabric (it is better to take a cotton of contrasting color so that the line is clearly visible).

Put the fabric under the foot so that it is fixed. Take your time and do not press the pedal strongly when you make a line. Having finished the line, be sure to leave the tail 4-5 cm so that the line does not bloom.

Goat.Plate height adjustment

The gear rake is responsible for the process of moving the fabric relative to the needle and the body of the sewing machine. At the moment when the needle pierces matter, the upper edge of the gear bar should be at the level of the working surface. Incorrect adjustment will lead to sewing in one place and breakthrough of the fabric or to uneven lines and low sewing quality.

Too much pressure of the paw on the fabric will lead to crushing matter, difficulty in stroke and tissue rupture. Insufficient pressure will give the wrong seam.

Adjustment occurs using a spring, and here it is important to pay attention to the thickness of the fabric: the thicker, the stronger the pressure should be. With strong thickenings, the foot can be lifted to 1.2 cm. The regulatory spring is located at the top on the rod of the paw.

Pedal work

In the sewing machines of Janome with electric drive, normal functioning (for example, work with jerks or too high speed with a slight press) can be disturbed due to the revolutionary control regulator. To do this, you will have to open the pedal and clean the graphite “tablets” that are compressed with a pressure lever. If these manipulations did not restore the smooth operation of the electric drive, then most likely it will have to be changed. For issues of replacing parts and nodes, contact the service center.

At home, sewing machines are not used every day. After a long break, it is recommended to configure and check the performance:

• Lubricate all metal parts and nodes with oil for sewing machines.
• Check the work of all the main components: electric drive, fly shaft, threader, lever for raising the foot.
• Drive away a few lines: first without refueled threads, with a paw raised and at low speed, you can even without a installed needle. Then. Several times with the upper and lower threads set by the needle and lowered with a paw.
• Make sure as a line, if necessary. Adjust the tension.

Overlot Overlock Janome T-99D

Type: overlock year of release: 2016 Production: Janom Taiwan Ko., LTD, 01, Dzhifung RD., Wufung, Taichung, Taiwan.

If you push the cover of the buttonholes, then we will see a color scheme for refueling threads.

Each thread is drawn in different colors and numbered (the number indicates the order of refueling the thread). The color of the thread corresponds to the color of the wheel adjustment wheel of the thread on the overlock housing.

In this model there is a guide guide. It facilitates the refueling of the lower looper.
