 Below are a few details included:

ADJUSTING YOUR SEWING MACHINE FOR GOOD STITCHES

When your sewing machine does not sew a properly locked stitch, check the following:

1. Insert a new needle of the correct size for the thread and fabric you are using. Consult the chart on page 5 for needle size.

2. The upper and bobbin thread should be the same thread.

3. Check threading carefully. See page 8-9.

4. Check the thread tension balance.
Recommend mercerized thread and a correct size needle for the fabric you are using: Do not try to test with synthetic thread as it will not break. Begin with a
full bobbin, properly threaded into the case. Set the stitch length at about 12 stitches perinch. Fold a 6-inch square of your fabric in half diagonally, forming a triangle. Make a line of stitching ½” from the fold.

Check to see if any of the following:
a. The seam is puckered – then both tensions are too tight.
b. Bottom thread is looped – tighten upper thread tension, and repeat test.
c. When top thread lays on top of fabric-loosen upper thread tension, repeat the test. Grasp the stitching and pull evenly and firmly until one or both threads break.
a. Both threads break – tensions are balanced.
b. When neither thread breaks – both tensions are too loose.
c. If upper thread breaks – loosen upper tension.
d. If lower thread breaks – tighten upper tension.

Both threads do not have to break at the same place, but they should break on the same snap.

 

Bobbin tensions may also be reset by this procedure. Start with a loose bobbin thread tension.

Tighten the spring screw gradually until the bobbin case and full bobbin can be gently lifted from your hand by the end of the bobbin thread.

How To Thread A Kenmore 385.12314990 Sewing Machine.

 

Learn how to thread your Kenmore Sewing Machine using this easy step-by-step tutorial.

 

Threading the Machine

* Raise the thread take-up lever to its highest position by turning the handwheel counterclockwise, toward you.
* Raise the presser foot lifter.
* Place a spool on the spool pin, with thread coming off as shown.

UPPER (NEEDLE) THREAD
1. Draw the end of the thread around the upper thread guide.
2. While holding the thread near the spool, draw the end of the thread down around the check spring holder.
3. Firmly draw the thread up from right to left over the take-up lever and down into the take-up lever eye.
4. Slide the thread behind the needle bar thread guide on the left.
5. Thread the needle from front to back or use a needle threader.

 

Drawing up bobbin thread
1. Raise the presser foot. Hold the needle thread lightly with your left hand and turning the handwheel counterclockwise, toward you, for one complete turn.
2. Bring the bobbin thread up by pulling the needle thread up.
3. Pull both threads under and to the back of the presser foot, leaving 4″ to 6″ of thread clear.

 

The numbered steps above follow the numbers on the illustrations.
Dotted lines show places where the thread loops and then is pulled tight.
