Free Sew and Fix Fault-Finding Checklist

Most sewing machine faults are made worse by the first fix people reach for: turning the tension dial before rethreading, or blaming the bobbin when the top thread is the problem. This one-page checklist covers the order to work in: what the symptom usually means, what to check first, and when to stop and book a service.

What’s in the checklist:

  • Reading the fault: loops underneath, skipped stitches, snapping thread, fabric not feeding
  • The order of checks: rethread, new needle, bobbin, lint, then tension
  • Which needle for which fabric
  • When a machine needs a service, and what not to open yourself
