BEFORE SEWING

Check if the needle thread and bobbin thread are available. The machine must be threaded correctly (Both needle thread and bobbin thread, refer to Pages 6-7 "Threading the Machine"). Incorrect threading will cause skipped stitches (cannot sew), thread breaking, and irregular stitches.
Check if the needle is threaded from left to right (the right side is the Hand-wheel) refer to Pages 6-7 "Threading the Machine."
Check if the needle is inserted in the correct position (its flat side towards the machine, refer to Page 9 "Needle Replacement").
Check if the machine power is "OFF" (Automatic Sewing Button). If not, turn the power switch OFF. IMPORTANT.
Insert the Power Adapter into the machine socket on the back of the machine.
IMPORTANT Note: AC Power Adapter and batteries CANNOT be used at the same time.
Insert the Power Adapter plug into the wall outlet.
Insert the Foot Pedal into the jack on the back of the machine, if you need it.
Note: Foot Pedal and On/Off Button (automatic) cannot be used at the same time.

START TO SEW

Raise up the presser foot by pulling its lever, and raise the needle to its highest position by turning the Hand Wheel towards you.
Pull at least 10 cm (4 inches) of needle thread from the needle. Put the needle thread and bobbin thread under and behind the presser foot.
Insert the fabric under the presser foot.
Lay down the presser foot.
Select sewing mode: Foot Pedal, or On/Off Button (automatic). Select the speed (slow or fast) according to your need.
IMPORTANT: Foot Pedal and On/Off Button cannot be used at the same time.
Sew some stitches on the fabric manually by turning the Hand-wheel towards you to stabilize the stitches.
IMPORTANT!
Turn it on by Auto-sewing button or Foot Pedal to sew.
Note: It is suggested that you try some sewing on a test fabric to adjust the thread's tension accordingly. (Page 5 "Adjust Thread Tension")
Switch off the machine immediately when encountering thread breaking or jamming.

FINISH SEWING

After you finish sewing, raise the Presser Foot, and raise the needle to its highest position by turning the Hand-wheel.
Pull the fabric gently. DO NOT pull it by force; otherwise, it will warp or break the needle. You can turn the Hand-wheel up and down during pulling the fabric. If the threads are too tight, pull some needle thread from the Take-up Lever.
Cut the threads by using the Cutter on the machine or scissors.
Remember to unplug the machine from the electrical outlet when you do not need to use it again.

THREADING THE MACHINE

Set the Needle Thread (Upper Thread)

Please strictly follow the right order to thread the needle thread as illustrated.

Start from the Upper Bobbin (the bobbin must be placed clockwise). The thread must go through:

Eyelet
Tension Screw (The thread must be placed between the clamps, NOT in the spring)
Eyelet
Hole of the Takeup Lever
Eyelet
Needle Bar
Needle IMPORTANT: thread the needle from left to right. You can use the Needle Threader (included in accessories) to thread the needle.

Draw up the Bottom Bobbin Thread

Before drawing up the bottom bobbin thread, pull out at least 10 cm (4 inches) of needle thread from the needle.

Slide outward the bottom bobbin cover plate, and place the bobbin in the bobbin holder.
IMPORTANT: the bobbin should be positioned clockwise. (Pic. 1)
Pull about 7 cm (3 inches) of thread from the bobbin and lay it on the slot.
Lay down the Presser Foot, and hold the needle thread lightly with your left hand.
Turn the Hand-wheel slowly towards you one complete round. Draw up the bobbin thread by pulling up the needle thread with your left hand as illustrated. (Pic.2)
You can either grab the bobbin thread with your hand or hook it with scissors. Seal the bottom bobbin with its cover plate. (You can also seal it after the bobbin is positioned).
Raise up the presser foot, put the needle thread and bobbin thread under and behind the presser foot. (pic.3)
IMPORTANT: Remember to lay down the presser foot again and sew some stitches on the fabric manually by turning the Hand-wheel towards you before turning on the machine to sew.

TENSION ADJUSTMENT

Thread Tension: The thread tension should be adjusted according to sewing materials, and layers of fabric. To tighten, turn the Tension Screw clockwise; and loosen the tension by turning counter-clockwise.

As shown in Fig. A, it is the normal stitches, which the top thread and Bottom thread are neat and uniform. The tension is just right!
As shown in Fig. B, if the bottom threading looks like a straight line, which indicates the top thread is too loose. Please turn the Tension Screw clockwise to increase pressure (until it is neither too tight nor too loose).
As shown in Fig. C, when the top thread looks like a straight line, it indicates the thread is too tight. Please slowly turn the Tension Screw counter-clockwise to reduce the pressure until the stitch is back to normal.

Note: If the fabric is too thin/thick/slippery/hard, it will cause: skipped stitches, thread breaking, puckering, or forming loops, and tension adjustment cannot help that. You should change the fabric. Please kindly note that this is just a small domestic sewing machine. Applicable fabrics: Jean, Cotton fabric, Felt, Polypropylene cloth, thin Leather, etc.

NEEDLE REPLACEMENT

Caution: Make sure to turn off the machine and plug out the adapter before replacing the needle.

Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the hand-wheel and lay down the presser foot.
Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it counterclockwise, and remove the needle from the clamp.
Insert a new needle into the needle clamp with its flat side towards the hand-wheel, which is very important.
When inserting the needle into the needle clamp, push it up against the top, then tighten the needle clamp screw firmly. DONE!

WINDING THE BOBBIN

Note: Remove the fabric and the thread from the Take-up lever before winding the bobbin.

Pull out the thread spindle (on the top of the machine), then put the spool on it.
Press the winding pole of the Hand-wheel and turn it counter-clockwise. The pole will automatically pop up.
Insert the empty bobbin in the winding pole.
Pull a thread from the spool and wind it on the empty bobbin for 4-5 circles, then turn on the machine to begin the automatic winding. Guide the winding with side-to-side movement to feed the bobbin evenly.
After winding, you can restore the winding pole.

SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT: THE POWER ADAPTER & BATTERIES CANNOT BE USED AT THE SAME TIME. THERE CANNOT BE ANY BATTERIES IN THE SewMighty IF USING THE POWER ADAPTER. THIS WILL DAMAGE THE SewMighty.

REMOVE ALL BATTERIES WHEN USING POWER ADAPTER

Remove batteries when the machine is not in use for long periods. This saves battery life and protects the machine. Keep extra batteries on hand so projects will not be interrupted when batteries need to be replaced.
The SewMighty® is an electrical appliance when used with a power adapter. Do not submerge the unit or any other parts in water. Do not operate the sewing machine with wet hands, without shoes, or while standing in water or on a wet surface when using the Power Adapter.
Never open the main motor case of the machine. The mechanism has been factory adjusted.
ALWAYS disconnect or remove the power supply, including batteries, when changing needles or threading the SewMighty.
Never use with a damaged power cord or plug.
Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not close the door on the cord or pull it around sharp edges; this could cause the cord to become punctured or damaged and could result in injury.
Do not unplug by pulling or tugging on the cord. Grasp the plug with dry hands to remove the plug from the outlet.
Always check the threading of the lock-stitch before beginning to sew a seam. Improper threading or placement of the bobbin in the case will result in damage to the SewMighty®.
Do not pull on the fabric as you sew. Gently guide only. Pulling could break the needle and result in damage to the SewMighty.
The SewMighty® is not a toy. Use of the SewMighty® with children MUST be supervised by an adult.
Do not change needles or thread the SewMighty® while the unit is on. DO NOT touch needles before you turn off the power.
Do not sew clothing while it is on your body.
