Does VERITAS Amelia have an automatic sewing function (Auto-Lock)?

What does the automatic sewing function (Auto-Lock button) mean?

The automatic sewing function makes it possible to lock the start and end of the seam by sewing several times in the same place, creating a knot that secures the seam. This function eliminates the need to sew forwards and backwards several times at the start and end of a seam.

Can I adjust the presser foot pressure?

Yes, turn the control counterclockwise to reduce the pressure for thin fabrics and clockwise to increase the pressure for heavy fabrics.

Is it possible to adjust the thread tension?

Yes, the thread tension is set using a rotary dial on the top of the machine, the default setting of which is “4”. The correct setting is important for good sewing results and depends on the fabric/stitch combination.

Is there a start/stop button?

How does the automatic thread cutter work?

Is it possible to sew with twin needles?

Maintenance

How do you clean the machine?

The sewing machine must be disconnected from the power supply for maintenance and cleaning. The throat plate can be removed and the feed dog and bobbin case cleaned with a brush. The hook should be regularly cleaned of lint and thread remnants and lubricated with sewing machine oil (not included! Do not use regular cooking oil!). It is important to maintain the machine regularly to ensure a long service life.

The LCD display and the surface of the machine should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, a damp cloth with a little neutral detergent can be used.

Why do you need a satin stitch foot?
