How To Thread: Honkon Model

Hey ya'll! 💕
Here is the threading video! Watch in HD & 4K!
FYI: For the threading, I used slight pressure when threading it through the thread controller and needle hole.
Main takeaways!
- check tension levels
- make sure the bobbin wheel is clear of any thread or debris
- start at a lower speed, then increase
- the needle may need replacement
- type of thread matters, you should use heavy duty thread
I ordered my machine from Alibaba. I don't want to give any final reviews on it yet, because I am still learning how to fix & work my way through it, but I will in due time.

Hello can you show me where the oil goes on the machine?

[@felishablanton2037]

Hello omg my machine is locked before it happened the needle was just going up and down and the thread well the bobbing part kept jamming now it has locked up on me

[@dolcehairtresses]

The thread is stuck in bobbin, you’ll have to remove and clear out the thread that’s caught

[@iRemainKia]

How do you adjust the bobbin tension? I can see loops at the too from the bobbin tension not being tight enough

[@dolcehairtresses]

It sounds like the thread needle needs adjustment or needs to be tighten

[@felishablanton2037]

Hello how to place the needle where do the flat side go? And is that the bobbing that came with the sewing machine?

[@dolcehairtresses]

Place the needle in its position? No, I got my bobbins from joanns

[@BG-gf7fu]

@@dolcehairtresses when is your ebook coming out?

[@dolcehairtresses]

@@BG-gf7fu I am in the process of it now. 😊

[@TheMzTR]

It's the tention. On an old machine the tention is in the middle

[@GlamChic]

Can you do one on bobbin ? Like I am so stuck and it's probably something simple !

[@dolcehairtresses]

Yes of course!

[@remarie9355]

Does the machine come with threading instructions

[@BRIUNA57]

The instructions are on a video, but it is not really clear.

[@iRemainKia]

Hi. Will you be giving an updated review on the sewing machine? And also informing us of where it can be purchased?

[@dolcehairtresses]

yes, I do plan on an update! I've been busy with cos school 💇‍♀

[@gracedormekpor4069]

Please how much is the Machine

[@DoseOfBaani]

Does it come with the ball attachment? It seems to be better for wig caps to fit around the bottom as you sew.

[@dolcehairtresses]

Yes it come with a ball and yes it definitely makes it easier to sew.

[@seczee411]

Hi, Thanks for sharing this information. I just got my machine and my top thread keeps getting jammed. How can I fix that issue? Also, how do you adjust the tension. Thank you for any advice you can give me.

[@dolcehairtresses]

The tension at the top of the thread may be too tight, try loosening the tension. I uploaded a video on tension on channel. Let me know how that works

[@seczee411]

@dolcehairtresses I adjusted the top tension as well as the bobbin tension and my machine started working well.

[@BRIUNA57]

Perfect!

[@RoseSuperCatTales]

How do you adjust the tension at the bobbin?

[@dolcehairtresses]

By adjusting the dial with the numbers

[@justinshelton5026]

No that’s not the bobbin tension. The bobbin tension is on the post

[@felishablanton2037]

PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE A ONE ON ONE CLASS

[@dolcehairtresses]

not yet, I will post how I oil and speed my motor is on🤞

[@nitascrown]

@nitascrown Hi, I just got my machine and I'm having the same issue you had. How did you fix the problem?

[@seczee411]

@@dolcehairtresses Hi, I'm having the same issue can you tell me how to solve the issue.

[@straightfromthescalp]

Hello. Where is the bobbin tension located?

[@justinshelton5026]

I think I answered you, but I’m not sure

[@dolcehairtresses]

the bobbin has a screw on the side where you can adjust the tension. I can show in my next video

[@dolcehairtresses]

mine is located near the stitch width area, its a screw you loosen/tighten. I can show it in my next video

[@justinshelton5026]

@@dolcehairtresses no it’s isn’t. That is stitch length. Bobbin tension is ALWAYS in the bobbin area.

[@justinshelton5026]

Sorry, that seemed rude. I don’t think that is the tension. Sorry

[@TheMzTR]

The gray knob is the tention & it has a round bubble notch

[@momplus8]

The goat 😂😂😂😂😂😂 but yea my feed dog keeps messing up the bolt come out 😩😩

[@dolcehairtresses]

Lmbo thank you! And awww man, my belt was giving me problems at first, did you replace the bolt? How is it working now?

[@chrissyfreeman2334]

Listen here love thank u 😩😩😩😩😩

[@dolcehairtresses]

You’re welcome!!!

[@justinshelton5026]

Just letting you know, the dial you turn is the stitch length. The bobbin tension is a screw on the bobbin case itself. The top thread tension should match the bobbin tension

[@iRemainKia]

My bobbin doesnt have a case and i am having a hard time figuring out how to tighten the tension

[@justinshelton5026]

There are two little screws on the bobbin holder. Turn your wheel until the hook is on the left, and there’s a tiny screw that you turn for the tension. I also think your bobbin thread is not under the tension spring

[@straightfromthescalp]

This is so helpful BUT I can’t find it on my machine. 😢 my bobbin just keeps spinning. No resistance at all!!!

[@justinshelton5026]

@@straightfromthescalp ok I can show you on mine maybe? I’m old so I have no idea how. It’s a tiny almost invisible screw..the tiny screwdriver that should’ve come with your machine fits in a hole for you to reach it. It’s very finicky

[@justinshelton5026]

@@straightfromthescalp did you find it? I’ll be around. Ring my bell
