Hey everbody....
I received my Class 4 on Friday and finally had a chance to use it tonight on some scrap pieces. I did have to adjust the tension since it came set to sew very thick material, and got it adjusted for roughly 16oz of leather.
1. The servo motor...I tried to use the up/down arrows to adjust the speed, and nothing really happened. The display just blinked in a random pattern and didn't increase or decrease the speed. The speed of the stitch is fine now since I need to crawl, but I assumed that tipping my toe would speed up the stitches. Any thoughts?
2. When I made my last practice pass, I used the wheel to make the last foward stitch, and let the needle rise about 1/4" before putting it in reverse. I made the back stitches to lock them in, but when I went to remove the piece the hook had grabbed one of my stitches and pulled it down. I was able to free the piece by cutting the top thread and pulling one of the ends of the snagged stitch. I tried a couple more times with the same result. I assume it's a procedural error of when/where I'm calling it quits, but I can't put my finger on it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
