1. L-Għażla tal-Punti
The Janome 3128 offers a variety of stitches. To select a stitch, turn the pattern selector dial to the desired letter (A-J) corresponding to the stitch type. The stitch chart on the machine body provides a visual guide.

2. Aġġustament tat-Tul u l-Wisa' tal-Punta
Adjust stitch length and width using the corresponding dials. For most utility stitches, a length of 2.5 is standard. Experiment with different settings on scrap fabric to achieve the desired result for your project.

3. Thread Tension Adjustment
Correct thread tension is crucial for balanced stitches. The tension dial typically ranges from 0 to 9. A setting of 3-5 is common for general sewing. If stitches are looping on the top, increase the tension. If looping on the bottom, decrease the tension.
4. Starting to Sew
- Poġġi d-drapp taħt is-sieq tal-presser.
- Niżżel il-lieva tas-sieq tal-presser.
- Turn the handwheel slightly towards you to bring the needle down into the fabric.
- Gently press the foot controller to begin sewing. Guide the fabric smoothly without pulling or pushing.
5. Ħjata bil-maqlub
To secure the beginning and end of a seam, use the reverse stitch lever or button. Hold it down to sew backward a few stitches, then release to continue sewing forward.
Manutenzjoni
Manutenzjoni regolari tiżgura l-lonġevità u l-prestazzjoni ottimali tal-magna tal-ħjata tiegħek.
1. Tindif
- Tneħħija tal-Lint: Regularly remove the needle plate and bobbin case to clean out lint and thread scraps using a small brush. Accumulated lint can affect stitch quality and machine operation.
- Tindif ta' barra: Imsaħ il-barra tal-magna b'ċarruta ratba u niexfa. Evita li tuża kimiċi ħarxa.
2. Sostituzzjoni tal-labra
Replace the needle frequently, especially after 8-10 hours of sewing or if it becomes bent or dull. A dull needle can cause skipped stitches, fabric damage, or needle breakage.
3. Bobbin Case Cleaning
Periodically remove the bobbin case and clean any lint or debris from the area. This helps prevent thread jams and ensures smooth bobbin thread delivery.
