I could'nt figure this out either at first as I've never seen one like this. Pull out the little hinged door on the upper right of the machine and there it is!.. the thread goes from the back over the top through the hole at the door and down to the base of the machine around that and then back up around the bobbin. When your done winding the bobbin close the door.

Hi

I had to open up the machine and figure out how the feed dog worked which was pretty easy. You will need a Phillips head to remove the protective cover on the bottom area of the sewing area, and the back of the machine that has the side with the presser foot lift or drop. Keep the screws in a bowl or a container to keep them from being lost and make sure you remember where the screws go...there are two that are removed that are different from the rest. Once you access the unit you will look into the bottom area and look at how the feed dog moves up and down....its okay to touch it. Once you see how it moves up and down you will also see that there is a black screw without a head on it that has an impression for a flat head screwdriver (a small one) and has a nut attached. When the screw is turned in either direction it lifts or drops the feed dog. The nut must be loose to adjust the screw and tightened once you raise it to the desired height. Make sure you try out the stitching before you close everything up as your bottom stitch will be affected if the feed dog it to high.

BTW take out the needle before you start messing with the machine so you don't hurt yourself.
And while you are in there, clean the lint out.

My kids lost my little brush and seem ripper that came with it, so I use a small paintbrush to clean out the machine.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

I also own 2 necchi sewing machines, my mechanical is a 4595,,
lower thread tension
to test the bobbin tension, remove the bobbin case & bobbin & hold it by suspending it byb the thread, **** it once or twice, if the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about an inch or two.
if the tension is too tight, it does not unwind at all, if the tension is too loose, it will drop too much.
to adjust the tension,, left is loosen & to the right tighten

thread breaks
rethread the machine making sure to get all thread guides
top thread tension usually 3 or 4
replace needle- make sure the needle is inserted correctly
some needles don't work with some thread, here's a tip

Cut 6-8 inch piece of thread of the spool you are going to use for your project
Take the needle you are going to use for the project
& insert the thread thru the eye of the needle
& lift one end of the thread to a 45 degree angle
& if the needle is the right size for the thread it will slide down the thread
But if the needle hangs on the thread you need one size larger needle for the thread

the flat side of the needle goes to the back of the machine
I also have the same sewing machine, if you will send me your email address thru a comment & I will copy pages of the operation manaul & send them to you

check the needle to see if it's bent-roll on flat surface to see if it rolls correctly
thread tension maybe to tight-select lower number
sometimes the thread can get caught on the
1.spool pin
2.the notch on the thread spool itself
some times the thread will come off the thread take up lever

I would think the sew hook timing

Hi! I found your manual at http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine_Manuals/Necchi_Manuals/4795_Instruction_Manual.htm

Happy Sewing!

Lift the presser foot and pull about 8" of thread through the needle.

When threading a sewing machine, make sure the presser foot is up as this opens the tension control so the thread can be properly seated and controlled once the presser foot is down.

try changing the needle, and make sure bobbin is in correctly

Contact Allyn International INC. which are the distributors in the US. Model 4795 and 4595 are the same but one is the instructional type I think, that's what the person I talked to told me. I got a free video and booklet from them. Fortunately my machine came with the manual, but it was not enough for the hemmer foot and I also needed some help with the overcasting stitches. This booklet explain all the stitches, the foot you need to use and the proper width and length of the stitch.

It's just in the front panel, where the drawing of all the built in stitches are, it's the drawing number eleven from the left, you'll see a zig zag (red) and a straight stitch (black) Select A group of stitches (knob with the arrow) and then select the eleventh stitch (same knob but use the dial, look the manual) and then select zero on your stitch width dial. Hope that helps :)

Try moving the stitch length dial to 4 or 5 - check the manual. You may have it in the position for very close together sewing. I had to do a lot of trying with my 4795 to get it to work right. I found that very thin thread, polyester kind, broke at the needle after a couple of stitches. I switched to coats & clarks thread and a Singer ball point needle and it works fine. Be sure your needle is inserted with the flat top toward the back of the machine. Good luck!

Increase the pressure on the presser bar. Usually this is located right above on the top of the machine.

Either the top tension is too tight or the lower tension is too loose.
