Packing

To ensure the machine purchased by the client arrives in the best condition possible, please follow these simple instructions:

• Package all the accessories in boxes. Tape the boxes and label the boxes with the buyers contact info.

• Make sure the machine is on the middle needle so that the head is centered. If the head is not centered, it might vibrate loose.
• Thread should be pulled about 1 foot out from the tip of the needles and then tied off together and attached to the thread holders.
• Spools of thread should be pulled about 1 foot out from the tip of the needles and then tied off together and attached to the thread holders.
• If the machine has a thread rack that can very easily be removed or lowered then remove or lower it.

• Crate the machine or place it on top of a pallet with all the accessories. Pallets can usually be found for free at the back of industrial parks or warehouse districts. They can also be found at home improvement stores and are also usually given away for free.
