    most of my clothes have some sort of spiderweb of stitching keeping them together :)

    scott not scot oh so you didn't even pay for it....now i feel MUCH better....:(

    ive had another machine offered to me as well :o
    im still trying to get the little fella working correctly at the moment not far off now, he sews for a few stiches then snaps the thread, think its just the tension

  • I haven't had any dinner :(

    Sounds more like the timing...sounds like the hook is coming round too soon maybe.[/quote]

    yeah it likely is cause i had to adjust the spool bit on the driving arm because the needle was hitting the wrong side of the spool case.....im making sense yes?

  • nope, well not really...as in officially :P

    i have (as i kinda said) moved the spool housing round so the arm on the spool hooks up the thread from the needle, it may be wrong though (and likely is)

    in what way do you think i need to change the timing?

    no way, check its fat ass !

  • no ruff bits anywhere,

    i'll whisper you tomorrow or monday or soon and maybe show you some pics if its not sorted by then

    its walking foot lockstitch alright i think it just needs a little more fiddling about

  • indeed, hopefully have it sorted by then but yeah would be cool, im sure you have a wealth of knowledge and other things i can drain from you!

  • name it Gertrude, you know you want to

  • what's the gear ratio?

  • He's got your eyelets.

  • tarquin

  • colin

  • sid

  • Lovely machine! I remember using a few industrials on my fashion degree...some with success! They're fast and the pedals are super sensitive.
    You just need an overlocker and an embroidery machine now.
    I'll be getting my embroidery machine back on the go again soon.
