2. 기계 작동
This section details the basic operations for sewing with your Brother LS-1217.
2.1 Basic Stitch Selection
Your machine offers various stitch patterns. To select a stitch, turn the pattern selection dial until the desired stitch symbol aligns with the indicator mark. Refer to the stitch chart on your machine for available options.
2.2 Fabric Placement
Place the fabric under the presser foot, aligning the edge with the desired seam allowance guide on the needle plate. Lower the presser foot using the presser foot lever.
2.3 바느질 시작하기
With the presser foot lowered, gently press the foot controller. The machine will begin to sew. Guide the fabric gently; do not pull or push it, as this can bend the needle or affect stitch quality.
2.4 역방향 스티칭
To secure the beginning and end of a seam, use the reverse stitch lever. Press and hold the lever while sewing to stitch backward. Release the lever to resume forward stitching.
2.5 Finishing a Seam
When you reach the end of your seam, perform a reverse stitch for a few stitches, then release the foot controller. Raise the needle to its highest position and lift the presser foot. Pull the fabric towards the back, then cut the threads using the thread cutter on the machine or scissors, leaving about 4-6 inches of thread tails.
3. 유지관리
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Brother LS-1217.
3.1 기계 청소
Lint and dust can accumulate in the bobbin area and feed dogs, affecting stitch quality. Disconnect the machine from power before cleaning.
- 바늘, 노루발, 바늘판을 제거하세요.
- Use the small brush provided with your machine (or a soft brush) to remove lint from the bobbin case, feed dogs, and surrounding areas.
- Do not use compressed air, as it can push lint further into the machine.
- 부드럽고 마른 천으로 기계 외부를 닦으세요.
3.2 윤활
The Brother LS-1217 is designed to be largely maintenance-free regarding lubrication. Avoid applying oil unless specifically instructed by a qualified service technician, as improper lubrication can cause damage.
3.3 바늘 교체
Replace the needle regularly (approximately every 8-10 hours of sewing or after every major project) and immediately if it becomes bent, dull, or burred. A damaged needle can cause skipped stitches, thread breakage, and fabric damage. Refer to section 1.3 for installation instructions.
