My new Yamata FY5318 will not change stitch length with dial. The stitch length seems to be set at 3mm. Is there a internal adjustment? How is it fix ?

Sounds like it is either out of time or the adjuster spring needs to be replaced.

Hi Queen,
on the stitch length dial on the top right of the machine, turn it all the way left. When you get to 0 and think it stops, keep turning, you'll get to the S.
Good luck,
Diane

Can you drop your feed dogs?

SOURCE: The stitch length adjustment will not switch the length

since the dial won't move, the machine needs to be checked

SOURCE: Stitching is too loose on the Juno Janome Serger Model 3434D

sergers the most frustrating machines. Every time you change fabrics you go through a tension adjusting phase.

First make sure you have threaded the machine in the proper order. upper looper, lower looper, then needles from right to left. Always thread any machine while the presser foot lever is in the UP position.

If you ever break a thread... you MUST pull all threads and rethread using the proper order.

Ok that's out of the way. Pull all your threads and get out several pieces of the same fabric scrap. Thread each pathway with a different color. This will help you determine which thread is giving you fits. Sew a test strip. Which thread is loose? tighten/loosen that tension. Keep doing this until you have a well balance seam. Then clip the colored threads starting with the upper looper thread, tie off to your proper color for your seam pull the thread through and up through the throat plate. proceed in this manner with lower looper, right needle, left needle. Sew a test seam.

Good luck.
