Hey I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Uwe’s videos are great and I’ve watched the one you linked several times. I think this one is the adjust video you were referring to? (See attached I am unable to link it.) I’m certainly game for adjusting that again. it did give a pretty clear view of the bolt I’m concerned with. I added a picture with it highlighted in red. (See Attached) This is the bolt that came loose on me and I’m going to assume it needs to be set before the other adjustment. I can not for the life of me find info on where in the track it’s supposed to sit. I’ll try to use the picture to eyeball it.

Backstory I had an issue where the presser foot was Stuck in the upright position. I messed with 33 and 36 settings as those were something I found online to adjust. In the end the issue was that 14, a bolt that controls the step height, had come loose and went to a 0 height position. I wasn’t sure which direction to offset it. I tinkered and got the machine running again. Current The machine works but it seems to struggle more than before when getting started. I don’t have the same low speed control I once did. I’m also having the presser foot lift getting stuck after raising the presser foot. The problem gets worse the higher I need to lift it. I can only unstick it by rotating the machine. Obviously not ideal for stitch placement! Also makes it unusable for thick stuff which is what this machine is for. Here is where I need help… What should the factory position of bolt 14 be on the slider? What is the best way to adjust 33 and 36 back to ideal settings? Are there any additional things I should be checking? If you can point me to the information or a idea I would greatly appreciate it. I’m reasonably handy but don’t have any specs for this stuff. Thanks, Tom
