These are the things to know in order to succeed on the Consew:
Become familiar with the contents of the manual located in the top drawer of the storage unit under the serger/sewing machine table. It's full of misspellings and grammatical errors for now, nevertheless, it's helpful. Where it ceases to be helpful is in the description of the clutch motor which our Consew no longer possesses; our Consew has a servo motor. To understand why you should be happy about this, please view the first 5'44" of this video:

Please refer to the manual to learn the anatomy of the machine.
Please refer to the manual to learn the anatomy of the machine. You will need to know how to replace a broken or damaged needle. The needle must be seated with the scarf to the right. You can be certain the needle is fully seated when you can not push it up any further in the needle bar. See this article regarding a needle's structure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewing_machine_needle
· Question regarding the thread controller spring, because they’ll need to make that adjustment themselves and should know what it is, where it is, and how to do that.

· Make sure the bobbin case is empty before trying to fill another bobbin. If there is a bobbin left in the bobbin case when winding a new bobbin a thread jam will occur in the bobbin case. Congratulations! You just broke it!

On the Consew you must use z- or left twist thread for upper/needle thread, but you can use either s-/right or z-/left twisted thread for lower/bobbin thread. If you use the wrong thread in the needle it will unravel, and the machine will jam. To learn more about this, see [https://www.servicethread.com/blog/left-twist-vs.-right-twist-industrial-sewing-thread-differences-and-applications this explanation].
