Read Your Manual-Lesson Learned
I have a machine I bought several (15 at least) years ago and it was an embroidery/sewing combination. Used it for
embroidery as I have a Bernina I use for all my sewing. I brought my machine to work today and put in our back room so instead of going out to lunch I could sew. I have learned so much just sewing on this machine. That manual sure comes in handy. Had no idea how I could move the needle around and even wound a bobbin on this one. As much as we want to bring them home and start sewing.... When all else fails READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. |
It is truly amazing how much information is in a well- wrtten manual. :)
It is even more helpful when it is read! |
I've had my Bernina 1031 for over 20 years and STILL refer to the manual occasionally! Same for my vintgage Bernie 830 and 807. I'm a believer in the manual, <wink, wink>!!:)

I believe in reading and using a well written manual. Unfortunately not all fall into this bracket.

I absolutely agree. I often refer to my manual, especially when dealing with the specialty feet or fancy stitches. It is a great trouble shooting tool too. Love the answer to "no power to machine" --"Plug electrical cord into machine AND wall socket". Yep, the cord was not completely plugged into the machine. At least I only looked like an idiot to the face I see in my mirror.

I have a Bernina 1530 and I still have to refer to the manual when I am doing something that I don't normally do.
|
And if you are buying but have to wait for delivery, go on-line and try to find the manual to read! I was pretty familiar with my machine when he came home!
|
I wish computer programs still came with hard copy manuals instead of HELP screen!!!!!!

My little Brother has a great manual with pictures also. There is a troubleshooting page, and several other places for information that I like. It even came with a CD to actually see the process.

Yup, those three words ' READ THE INSTRUCTIONS" can certainly come in handy. Because I don't use my buttonhole attachment on my Janome 4000; I was all set to take it in to the repair shop until my DH read the directions and solved the problem.
|
I get my manual out about once a month or so, and I always find something new about my machine, or some new way to use it. Great books, those manuals.
|
All of my manuals for everything are all stored under whatever tool or electronic they go to. I have severe memory problems so if I lose a manual, I immediately have to get a new one. Just today I had to look up how to change my password on my 2006 IMac! Never let them go!

I cleaned my sewingroom and can't find my manual for for BLQP. I could print it online. I need to go through things for about the 4th time and find it. I use my manuals alot
