Cowboy Cb3200 Stitching Issue. Minor Issue Question

Recommended Posts

I've been practicing reverse on my CB3200 in my down time as I've always used the 'Poor Man's Reverse' when sewing.

I notice that when I reverse the stitch it always 'Boogers' up the back of the piece and the stitching is all knotted up where the double stitch was placed.

When I use the manual 'reverse' a.k.a. spinning the piece around to go the other direction, it doesn't do this. Only in Reverse on the machine!

What could be the issue?

Rooster,

Mine does that unless I move the lever up to reverse only when the needle is just past the bottom of the stroke and is beginning to come back up. I saw that in a Cobra Video on You Tube and tried it and it works great for me. If I try to go to reverse when the needle is on top, before the absolute bottom or too far past the bottom then it messes up the back. If that doesn't work, then I yield to the more experienced 441 clone folks out here.

I got it fixed. I called Ryan Neel and Neels Sadlery and Harness, because someone told me he was a night owl. It was 9 PM Central here, and 10 PM Eastern where he is and he was wide awake.

My Primary and Auxiliary Thread tension springs were on the opposite positions as to where they should be. In other words, the thinner spring of the two was on the Primary Tensioner and the thicker was on the Auxilary Tensioner. He had me put the thinner on the Aux., and the Thicker on the Primary, leave two threads showing on each nut, make sure the needle was at it's lowest position before reversing, and it's fixed!

I would highly recommend Ryan Neel and Neel's Sadlery and Harness if you are looking for a CB3200. He is a great guy and offers top notch customer service.

I also forgot to mention that he had be 'tweak' the pigtail in front of the Auxilary Tension area. I turned it downward, on a lower axis than the center line of the bar going through the Auxilary Tensioner. This ensures that the thread does not get pulled up past the bar on the auxilary tensioner. It doesn't take much. Just leave the tail on the pigtail pointing in the 4 O'clock position, and that should do it.
