Hey there. Do you have a great Promaker sewing and embroidery machine? If that’s you, you’ll need to treat it right so it sustains you through the long haul and produces cool designs for you to enjoy. Please find below, some handy, simple ways in which you can keep your embroidery machine well-maintained to make it last long.
Regular Cleaning and Oil Application
There are also some ways you can try to take care of your embroidery machine to make sure it stays in top condition. Dust and lint can accumulate in the machine and cause it to not function correctly. You can prevent this from happening by cleaning the the "nooks and crannies of your machine" with a soft brush. Stay safe, and be sure to unplug your machine before you begin cleaning.
Another thing that you need to do is to oil your machine often. Oiling is used to keep the moving parts of your machine moving. The instruction manual for your machine will include details about where and how to oil it. Just be sure to use the type of oil recommended by Promaker to prevent any damage to your machine.
Properly Threaded Needles and Bobbins
In your embroidery machine, getting your needle and bobbins threaded correctly is the most important part. Be sure to thread the way your machine's manual tells you. Mismatching needle size and type will cause the thread to snap and the stitches to come out looking terrible. Similarly, if not properly wrapped, bobbins will change the tension and compromise the quality of your embroidery.
To save yourself this headache, always make sure your needles and bobbins are installed and threaded properly before you start embroidering. This easy step can help you avoid jams and keep your machine running smoothly.
Avoid Damage with the Best Care
Although embroidery machines are built to last, being gentle with your machine can help increase its longevity. Do not push material through the machine or nearby violent movements that can strain some of the inner parts. Instead, treat your machine gently and don't rush your embroidery to avoid wear and tear.
If something goes wrong with your machine while you’re using it, don’t try to repair it yourself. You can also contact Promaker support or have your machine repaired by an expert. Take good care of your embroidery machine and you can stitch trouble-free for many, many years to come.
Calibration & Adjustment for the Best Performance
Like all machines, your embroidery machine might require some slight tuning up, so that it does its job correctly and performs all the functions in the best possible manner. Check frequently the setting of the tension, the stitches length and the position of the needle. These little changes can greatly affect the final look of your embroidery designs.
If you’re new on how to calibrate or adjust your machine you can check the instruction manual or contact the Promaker crew for tips. Adhere to the recommended calibration and adjustment process and your machine will be running well and creating awesome embroidery for years to come.
Keep the Stored and Covered Machine Clean
The right place to store the embroidery machine When not in use, it is extremely important to store the boring embroidery machine to avoid dust, moisture, and other risk factors. Cover your appliance with a dust cover or clean piece of cloth to keep dirt and debris from building up on the machine bodies. Alternatively you can keep your machine in a dry and safe place to prevent accidents and wear-and-tear.
With a few light perspective- and temperature-related precautions for embroidery machine storage and protection, though, you can ensure your investment will continue looking and functioning like new for many years to come.
