Ronnie, Thanks for the reply, PM sent with email.
Also does anyone know if the 545 is supposed to be able to sew with size 207 thread? I read somewhere on this forum that it should, but the guy I bought it from doubtted that it would.
I had some sample spools of size 207 Nylon thread and I have been trying to get it to work. Mostly the top thread will bunch underneath, but if I get the tensions (top & Bottom) just right I can 'almost' get it to work (no bunching, but bobbin thread doesn't pull into material properly, just sits on material). I feel like I'm close,... I tried this thread size on both veg tanned leather and some type of heavy duty rubber coated nylon with same result.
Machine works great with size 92 (only other thread size I have so far).
I don't know, it seems like the thread clearances are fine for 207 including the hook/bobbin area, of course this is based on my nowhere near expert opinion.
I am pretty new at this, everything I know now was learned in a few very frustrating nights in a pile of trial material and yards of wasted thread.
I am using a size 22 needle, It seems pretty beefy and the thread fits throught the eye easily so I assume this is right,...
