• Make sure the fabric is flat. An excellent way to make the felting sheets flat is by ironing them.  Pressing the seams makes it easier to join the fabric while also preventing the sew cool machine from jamming.

• Make use of the manual knob. This is important when you want to slide in the felting sheets as it helps you raise the needle. Once the fabric is aligned, lower the needles until they’re inserted into the fabric (use the manual knob).
• Start sewing by pressing the start button. Once finished, lift the needles using the manual knob to help you remove the fabric. Lifting the needles before taking out the fabric will prevent breaking the needles.
• Lastly, switch off the machine and then take out the fabric.
