Wow....that's absolutely beautiful. -
well, after all your help i was able to get it dialed in good. i did adjust the bobbin tensioner with less and then messed with the top tensioner until the stiches started to look great..thanks Wizcrafts. i'm afraid of moving anything now....lol but do you think i'll have to do this all over again when i need to change to 277..????
-
i was able to adjust the tension a little more on the bobbin and i finall got the top tensioner kinda set. the stiches look alot nicer and the knots aren't visible on either side. i just need to tweak it a little more because the stiches seem they could be tighter. what does the tensioner on the side do? its got felt on each side of the case that the thread wraps around. is the case suppose to roll with the thread while its moveing or only the thread suppose to move and not the case together??

i finally figured out what you were talking about but after loosening the locking screw i tried to tighten the tension but only turned about 1/4 of a turn. so then i keep messing with it and rethreading the machine over and over.....i mistakenly forgot to run it through the top tensioner and it sewed so much better. so i ran it through the tensioner and bearly put any tension on it and the knots are alot less visible. I've been tweaking with it but it's so sensitive. moving the nob less than 1/4 makes a big difference..i just cant seem to make the stiches really nice and tight witout the knots show up on top...but i'll keep tweaking with it. . this is such a great site filled with a great wleath of knowledge from you guys...thank you all

also the spring seems flimsy to me but is that how it's suppose to be...?
-
ok, i'm not sure if i understand you correctly but there's two scews inside the bobbin one smaller than the other. the larger one goes all the through the shaft thats in the middle of the bobbin...is that the screw your reffering to.???
-
the thread is pulling freely from the spool with out any tension until practically it arrives at the disk tensioner. i think i have the tension ok...not to hard to pull. now that you mention it Wiz, i'm not sure if the bobbin right?? i have it feeding through the middle of the case...is that wrong? do you mean the hole at the very bottem of the bobbin case??? and if needed how do i tighten the tension on the bobbin??

i followed Weavers guide to threading a adler 205. i increased the tension and i even tried two and three layers and still the same. the tension seems ok but then i tried it with alot more but still no diffference. all i know is that i'm going through alot of thread trying to trouble shoot this....haha...

I'm new to this machine and i can't get it to stich right. i've been at it all day trying to figure it out but i cant get it. The knot on the stich shows up on the top and i don't know how to fix this. i'm using needle size 23 with 207 thread on top and bottom. please someone tell me what im doing wrng here. i would really appreciate any help....thanks

i did find the info to correct the direction of the servo. my problem is that the pully is on the right side of the motor, wgen i need it to the left. it does line up and bolts on with the exsiting bolt but the speed selector will be facing to the back. i'm thinking maybe the guy that i got it from ordered the wrong one. i guess i can use it like that. it's not like i'm gone be using it at any speed other than slow...thanks
-

It came with a consew servo motor that i can't seem to figure out how to install? the only way to me seems like i have to put it backwards. what am i missing??? i already removed to clutch motor. also what do you guy think of this machine? i want to do belts and holsters. is it over kill of a machine?...:.thanks
