What happens if you run it through beeswax block?

Oh I've got a refund already. I actually tried it out with a motor and it stitched fine. Just no hand-pulling Obviously my experiences are tainted, but when comparing Juki 341 and the clone side by side, it's really apples and oranges in appearance and feel. However, in stitch comparison.. not so much!

jimi: just went through your 335 post. Now that's impressive! Do you have a blog?

Luckily the transport company will compensate. It appears a hole went through the outside plastic-carton-styrophome and onto the pulley. Doing a quick search, it seems like customs may poke holes for drug searches. I just wish the hole was poked into the body of the machine!

"Great for firearms, weapons, dental and lab equipment, sewing machines and fishing reels" ...and it comes in pink! Thanks for the suggestions, mini ratchet with lots of bits worked out well.

What's your preferred screwdrivers for machine maintenance? I have to replace a hook and base for a cylinder machine, and all my screwdrivers are too long to access the screws with enough clearance. I've seen right angle ratchet types and just using mini screwdrivers on youtube videos being used. For those that have been through a few, what did you settle on?

Are direct drive (no separate motor) machines any good for leather work?

Anyone have any info on this machine? Any manuals/parts list about?

Turns out I need to replace the hook. The left screw of the pair on the hook is damaged and doesn't tighten/loosen anymore leave the bobbin thread tension too loose. Is it possible to change the hook only? Or do I need to order the hook & base? Cheers!

Solved. For this version you need to hold P and +, and it's a completely different Parameter table to above e.g. P-07 exists in this one. Cheers Uwe anyway. I'm sure countless people on here owe you a few beers

Thanks Uwe. Ok I tried P and S at the same time but it's still the flashing 0 (standby sign?). Any ideas?

This under a different brand. Cheers!

I have a servo motor with P S + - keys on it and want to reverse the direction of the motor. I read that holding - (down) button will take me to menu... That's not working. Any ideas? I feel like a safe cracker trying all combinations of these four buttons

Thanks Uwe. I'll post up anything here if Seiko get back to me.

Can anyone share a manual for a Seiko CW-8BV machine? I'm specifically unfamiliar with using the binding option. Cheers!
