SOURCE: I just replaced the belts on my Necchi 535FA, but

If the belts are not tight enough they will slip, they should all be fairly tight but not like a piano string if you know what I mean.
As you do not describe what the machine is doing wrong I can not really say any more at present, except make sure there is no oil on the belts and the machine has no tight spots when you turn it over by hand.

SOURCE: My Necchi sewing machine worked before I sewed on

it sounds like your machine needs servicing. have you oiled all moving parts inside machine? is the belt tight enough that it is not slipping?

you should have your machine serviced by a technician every 2 or 3 years.

SOURCE: will a NECCHI 535FA sew denim jean material okay?

Use a heavy needle and a product called jean-a-majig from Joann fabrics and you will be fine, just make sure you use the correct needle as this is key

Beldia 1306 - did you ever solve your sewing m/c problem. I have just resurrected my old Necchi and have the same problem, power but very sluggish operation of the needle, could be oil that is needed. Can you help?
