Juki 1246-6 Skipping/Breaking Thread - Help!
brad Harper replied to brad Harper's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Wizcrafts you were dead on. The main culprit was the spring starting point. It was way too low. The spring had too much downward travel. I adjusted it like you suggested to stop right when the needle enters the material. I have been sewing with it this way for 2 days and have not skipped a single stitch! Works perfectly in either thick or thin material. Big Thank You! -
Juki 1246-6 Skipping/Breaking Thread - Help!
brad Harper replied to brad Harper's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Wizcrafts I think you may be onto something with this. I have always assumed it has something to do with the loop of thread that the hook has to catch. I will definitely try what your suggesting. To be honest I have never fully understood what the "take up spring" is for on the machine. "Take up spring" is what Juki calls it in the instruction manual. I think I am following what you are saying. -
Hello Forum I'm hoping that one or a few of you will have some suggestions for me. I have a Juki 1246–6 - wheel feed - single needle - post-bed machine(see photo). I build custom bike shoes and have been using this particular machine for almost 20 years. Recently I have begun to sew thinner leather type materials. I have noticed when sewing thinner materials that my machine will occasionally skip or break stitches. Sometimes just a little and sometimes I can barely get through the project. I use Nylon Size 69/Tex-70 thread and It seems to matter which brand thread I'm using. I assume the amount of thread bonding or something affects it? When sewing thicker materials it sews like a dream. Do any of you have a suggestion as to why this would be happening? or suggestions of machine settings that will help with this? Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated Brad Harper - Harper Sports Inc. - www.riivo.com

Hello All I have been using an Adler 30-1 patch machine for over 20 years. I have never been able to find pre-wound bobbins for this machine. Have any of you ever seen or heard of pre-wound bobbins for this machine(or a singer 29k)? Or is there a way to have a batch of custom pre-wound bobbins made anywhere? Any insight would be great! thanks Brad Harper www.riivo.com

Hello All I have a Adler 30-1 Patcher. I cannot get a straight answer as the the correct needle for this machine. Can any of you put this question to rest for me and suggest a good place in the US to purchase these needles? Any help would be appreciated thank you Brad Harper www.riivo.com
