Does anyone know much about overlockers? I need some advice. I bought a new Overlocker (Elna) and it is breaking needles. 3 in a row. It has been sewing fine until this point. I am trying to make a frill, so using the gathering function. I'm just wondering if there is a problem with my machine or maybe my fault?
I have my needle tension set at 9, and my looper thread tensions set at 2 to get the right amount of gather. I am wondering if maybe this is creating an imbalance and then breaking the needles?
Any advice would be appreciated! If you think what I'm doing sounds okay, I will ask the store for a replacement because it's still under warranty.
