SOURCE: I'm using the Alphabet Card

Hi, well if it works OK on "Other" cards? Then most likely the problem is with the "Card" it maybe corrupted etc? The ONLY real way to tell is to obtain an exact same card and try that, now, if, as I suspect, it works fine, then the answer is obvious, you need a new card to replace the damaged one. If however it is still not working, then there maybe some incompatibility between that card, or type of card, and the machine? in this event you would have to contact the manufacturer and report this and see what they say? You may need an update or the like? Only they could guide you on this in this case.

SOURCE: i have a brand new reliable industrial sewing

hi.
given that the machine is only a month or so old, the best advice i can give you is to do nothing to the machine and call the sewing machine guy out to repair it for you. a brand new machine like this will be covered by the warranty. as long as you have actually switched the machine on properly, any faults are the responsibility of the supplier at this stage.

SOURCE: Silvercrest overlocker - the 'red' pathway thread won't progress through

have you tried changing the needle?
since you've only had the machine for a week, I'd suggest taking it back & getting another machine.

have you checked to make sure the power cord is pushed in correctly?
if the power cord isn't the problem then it may need to be checked by a service tech, because it's not suppose to be running slow just a few months after you bought it.
I would call the people you bought it from & tell them what it's doing & see if they'll give you another one, I've been sewing for 30+ years & I wouldn't keep the machine.
good luck
