Tomorrow i will look for a place where i can adjust the sideways position of the needle bar. And yes i am now using the correct needle for the machine and its the GB. It goes nicely and is thight in the needle bar hole

So i but the needle bar at the correct position as Wizcrafts sad and tried to make some stitches but after that i saw another ishue. And that's the needle itself what is now in a fery od sitiutation. The needle is very off the foots hole and when i drag it down it touches the foot and that damages the thread. Plus it's off the tables hole tooo. Can't see where to adjust the needle to get it in the center.

Exactly! The GB is already screwed at the lowest point it can be and it still dousen't make a loop. If a try to take the gb needle more down in the needle bar hole it would fall off. The ring gear is in a good contition but it misses. Can i adjust the gear some how????

It's breaty hard to finde a walkinfoot JUKI in Estonia because there all gone and noone is selling them. I have to look it in Germani or in Finland i guess. No for the problem that i have this time Now i have a bigger needle and for a while it worked very well. It's a Groz- Beckert 135x17 The comparison with the schmetz witche is on the left!! Now when the groz-beckert is but to the lowest positsion that it can be it looks like that and it can't make the loop that it usualy does And with the schmetz it looks like that So my conclusion is that the ratchet of the bobbins case is skiping some tooth. Can this hapen or is it an once in a lifetime error of the machine ??

Thank you guys for the awesome info and knowledge that have been a great help but i have had so many problems with this machine and it continiues and continiues to make more problems. I am searching for a new machine that is a lot more stronger and durable than the Taking of mine. I have no time to waste to fix it every week. That's just not an option for me. What brand should i look for to get the best walkinfoot out there?? I have used a machine witche is the Juki DNU- 1541 and it was great and was flaless. How to you review the JUKI?? is it a mchine to get in a long run??? Best wishes Drognan!!

You where right. I found it myself too. It is now fixed and i can continiue with the work. Thank you Art for your knowledge and time. Best wishes Drognan!

So. I checked my sampel when i haden't a prob. and it turns around that it wasent wixed. If i took a closer look it revealed that the porb. is there as you can see on the picture. Note to me: have to buy some biger lihting to the room. Specs from the etc: I use Schmetz size 22 neadle given to me by the mechanic where it was fixed. Apparently NOT! with a thread of Serafil size 20 My project needs an automotive lether witch stretches a liddle. Hase the same amount of thickness as the black leather. Next: To the machine it self. From the front Back side Side few What does the black gnob that can be turned around on the dop to exactly??? The walking woot in the UP right position And in the DOWN right position. And if hte woot is pulled down. It isent wlat with the table. Strange. Have a bobbin that came with the machine. Havent changed it. The case that it will go on the mahćhine. A pic from the down side of the machine. Maybe it helps. Now to the setings. Made it to number 5. The threating of the machine.. Tentioning is at the max. Then i took the uper threads and the bobbins tentioning to the lowest and started to work with them till i had something what i liked. At first it made that wierd seam. Then i noticed that i have to change the bobbins thread to something visible. I chose white. And sew again and tentioned all the time till i got it to the point i couldn't make any adjustments. Deamn. Have no pic from what i ended up with. Forgot the sample to a friends house. Have to get it back. I will but it up tonight. So the problem is that the bobbins thread needs to pull a liddle more to take the uper thread down and it dosent to this because its at the maximum of the tention. Sorry if i have a bad writing.

Wow.... you are the man. Want one :D:D

Hey everyone! I have been away. Got the machine back and it worked fine for a wile. I had to use it for some work what had to be done and now a new project came up. And the problem that hunted me is back. Need HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! Before i take a job to the sewing machine i make a sample ( every time) to see how the stitch is working with the fabric. So i make the sample and from it i see that the thread that comes from the bobbin witch i have tensioned to the max is seeable from the sample. That's not axeptable. It hase to be so that you see only the uper thread from the top of the sample. To enyone know what the problem is and how to fix it??????? Have to make a foto from the sample and show it to you guys. The machine is a FLAT BED COMPOUND FEED HEAVY DUTY LOCKSTITCH SEWING MACHINE from TAKING. TK-1245 SINGLE NEEDLE - WITH CENTRAL RESERVOIR LUBRICATION AND HOOK LUBRICATION LARGE VERTICAL SEWING HOOK WITH A 60% LARGER BOBBIN THREAD CAPACITY THAN STANDARD SIZE HOOKS. Max fabric thickness - 14mm.

Today i was able to figure out what's the mader with the thread tensioning. It has a small pipe witch goes through the machine to the back. Some sort of lefer is pushing it out and makes the tentioning blate to loosen the threat. But in the proces of fixing it I axedently twisted one spring. Now when i lift the foot up it gives the thread mutse beder than before but it dident solfe the under thread tentioning. I have tryed pretty much everything accept switching to a different neadle, witch i dount have and are hard to find. Then i realieced that i dount have the proper knowledgement to wigure out what the machine wants. Sow i deceded to take the Taking to a profeccional repairer.

Sorry for my bad wreiting! I bought the machine from a small company owner whos place dident' work out and who doesn't realy know enything from machines. When i saw the Taking 1245 at the first time i hadent hade any change to sew with it because there was no electricity. So i have to say it was a blind deal and there comes the cheap price with it. We have very few real machine companys in our country so it is very hard to finde something but i wrote some letters to the dealerships and are waiting for the answers.

Yes i got it to sew but after stitching some samples it didn't make the seam as clean as i was looking for. The 2 left seams i made where strait but the oders were to crucet, that was becouse i used the uper upholstery thread in the bobbin. and on the back side the 2 right ones The thread that comes under is not pulling the uper thread in and that greats the ugly seam witch you can see in the first picture. Next was that i had a detail that was broken when i bought the machine. It looks like this- It is located on the back side of the thread tentioning. In this case the problem is that if i took the machine foot up and pull on the thread it will not give it to me. I think there is something wrong in the back off the thread tentioning. The silver plate is loose and not in the correct place, i think. Is there some fix or do i have to order some new parts for it???

Man thats some killer stuff. Looking forward to see more. I have no klue how to do something like that but someday i fill try it out.

Hello My Machine is a Taking TK-1245, it's a copy off the famous Pfaff 1245. The problem is that after the first stitch the thread is broken and i can't continue with my work. I have tried to tention the thread- fount work. Threaded the machine and tried again- woun't solve the problem. Threaded the bobbin and still not working. I think it could be that the machines timing is out of alinment or i have the wrong needle. Can anyone tell me what can i too to solve this mess??? Hiers some pics off the mess and the needle witch i think i have threaded wrong. Thank you very muts!
