If the needles on your Singer Professional 5 Serger 14T968DC have jammed while you were doing a hem with the double wide cover stitch, there are a few things you can check to try to resolve the issue:
- Check the needles: The first thing to do is to check the needles to see if they are bent or damaged in any way. If they are, you will need to replace them. Also, make sure that the needles are inserted properly and tightened securely.
- Check the threading: Make sure that the serger is threaded properly for the double wide cover stitch. Check that the thread is going through all the necessary thread guides and tension discs.
- Check the fabric: If the fabric is too thick or too thin, or if there are too many layers of fabric, this can cause the needles to jam. Try adjusting the fabric layers or using a different type of fabric.
- Check the tension: Check the tension settings for the needles and make sure they are set correctly for the double wide cover stitch. If the tension is too tight or too loose, this can cause the needles to jam.
- Clean the machine: Sometimes, lint or debris can get stuck in the machine and cause the needles to jam. Use a soft brush or a vacuum to clean the machine and remove any debris.
If you have tried all of these steps and the needles continue to jam, it may be a good idea to take your serger to a professional for repair.
