Thanks Miriam! You're right. This is one of the most common reasons a machine won't sew. I think you've just helped a lot of people.

Don't forget that the pointy-end of the needle usually goes down.

I usually read the manual, but this would be so much easier! Thanks for writing it down.

I don't always have the luxury of finding a manual. I have a machine I would love to have a manual for. It is a mystery how the levers on the top work.

No problem figuring out the buttons and knobs but the top levers don't make any sense.

That BAM lever seems familiar but I can't quite place it. Built in buttonhole function maybe. It's entirely possible I'm completely wrong too.

If it is button hole how does it move from one part of the button hole to another?

It looks like a needle position lever - not sure what the letters stand for though. Does it move your needlebar? They are often gummed up, at least in the Necchi's I've seen.
