How to Set the Potentiometer on Your SWF Embroidery Machine
The SWF embroidery machine is a machine used by professional seamstresses and hobbyists alike. The potentiometer on the SWF, sometimes simply referred to as a "pot," controls or sets the machine needles to be used. Over time, the potentiometer can slip out of adjustment. If this occurs, an error message may flash on the digital readout screen. If this happens, the potentiometer may have to be reset manually. This process takes less than 30 minutes. Does this Spark an idea?
