We had a machine stopfor a break and we did a manual thread trim. When it trimmed she went to thread the needle and it proceded to do another trim and she didn't move fast enough and the needle went straight in her finger. When she pulled her hand out that is when the needle broke. Be sure the machine is not running and make sure you wait 10 seconds from your last command in case of machine delay. We have had our machines about two years and had no other injuries. Just be carefull and take your time.

If the machine is stopped it will not start again unless you press the green go....Don't be afraid of it! Remember all it can do to you is wreck a shirt or whatever you are sewing on. You have the safety bar there and unless you tell it to do something it will not run on it's own. > > You are taking the fun out of the job!
