I recently bought a consew 239 industrial sewing machine. I have watched several "how-to's" on youtube and read the manual to figure out how to thread it. I cannot make more than two stiches before all of the thread binds up underneath the fabric and the thread coming through the needle is pulled out of the eye of the needle. I think it has something to do with the way the bobbin and the bobbin casing were put in. I had to adjust the tension screw on the bobbin and think that I might have put it back in wrong. I just noticed that the machine binds up in the same spot when I turn the hand wheel backwards. It only binds up for a second before continuing on but it comes to a complete stop every time. Has anyone had this problem before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
The machine is in great shape and I feel confident that it is just being threaded wrong. Anyone have a clear picture or diagram? Do the pictures look right? Anything helps!
Thanks!
