I don't want to mess with it too much until I know, for sure, that it's supposed to move....

Here's the part that should move, if I'm understanding the video correctly...

Here's the link to the video. Procedure starts at about 10:00. I'll post a pic in a bit...

I was attempting to equalize the forward and reverse stitch length, as described in the video by Ewe. Got to the point where you move the block, to either lengthen or shorten the forward stitch, and it wont move. After loosening the screw, when I try to move it, it just moves the reverse lever. Isn't it supposed to pivot on the shaft?

I'll try those out. Needle is a 20....t90 thread. NOW...I was taking a video of the bobbin, sewing slow and then by hand....no problems. Then I started sewing regularly and now it's sewing fine....for now. When it starts acting up again, I'll take another video. Thanks for the tips.

I replaced it, thanks!!

Here's a video from last night. Surprisingly it didn't jam, but probably would have if I had sewn some more. The rats nest on the vinyl pieces were from when I was playing with the thread tension. I thought that it might be too tight and that was why it was pulling the top thread from the table. Not the problem. I'll post another video, like someone suggested, of hand sewing and having the bobbin rotate very slowly...... hemiyota-01_small.mp4.fccfab5cb49dca5dcbd57ba3f09f1fc3.mp4

It was sewing perfectly fine just a couple days earlier. Nothing was changed. Still threaded the same. Sewing vinyl. T90 top thread, not sure of bobbin, but it isn't too small or large, and worked fine for all the other sewing I was doing. Set the timing and needle height. I'll take a video.

I picked up this machine about a month ago. Got it cleaned and oiled. Threaded it and started practicing on vinyl. Got tired of practicing and decided to actually sew something. Made a cover for the machine. Couple days later, tried to sew again and no way. Thread keeps jamming. It will actually pull the top thread, that I'm holding, into the machine and jam. Popped the safety clutch once. Set the hook timing. Same thing. I've had it apart, those 3 little screws, about 8 times. It just keeps pulling thread in and jamming.. Nothing was changed since I made the cover, it just quit....Any ideas?

I need the button and spring for the stitch length adjustment....

Thanks, but it's gone!!

I found one for sale, at a good price, but can't find any info on them.
