Troubleshooting
Scissors not cutting smoothly
Ensure the blades are clean and free of lint. For minor stiffness, try gently moving the blades back and forth. If persistent, consider using a separate pair of scissors for heavier tasks.
Needles bent or broken
Needles can be fragile. Use appropriate pressure when sewing and ensure the fabric is not too thick for the needle. Replacements can be purchased separately.
Thread tangling
Ensure the thread is not caught on anything and that you are using proper sewing techniques. Smooth out any knots before continuing.
Box zipper is stiff
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a dry lubricant can sometimes help ease stiff zippers.
