  1. I will play with the bobbin tention today and see if that helps. I am leaning toward boxing the machine up and shipping it somewhere. Since I am in NC maybe this place. https://www.billsewing.com/ They are a Juki Dealer. But I am open to sugestions if someone has a better place
  2. took some video but can't get it into a small enough file to upload herer. I will try putting on youtube later and posting link.
  3. Thanks but I have tried everything between just barely raising the needle (to avoid skipping a stitch) and raising it as high as possibel. Same result.
  4. Sorry reposting since it posted in the wrong place. The machine I sew on at work is a Consew 206RB-5. The person who worked on my machine is a traveling repairman who works on the ones at work. (No local repair shop here in Wilmington, NC) Loop happens on left and right turns. Also it is actually the stitch that you stop on that is looping not the next one. I will attempt to make a video soon of the process top and bottom to better help. Stay Tuned !! Thanks CaptJoey

  6. First of all thanks for the responces. I am pretty sure this is a problem with my machine and not caused by techinique. I have no issues with the machine that I use at work. This is my Home shop machine. I've had several people sew on it and they all get the same result. The tech adjusted everything he could think of and could not get it fixed. I'm just before taking it to a JUKI service center but that is a 4.5 hr drive one way. Keep the ideas coming. Maybe we can figure it out
  7. I sew boat canvas but hope to get some advise on this site. When I make a 90 turn I get a loop on the next stitch on the bottom side. Does ok with 45 degree turn or 135 degree turn. Tech worked on machine and could not fix it. Someone else told me it was in the take up spring but I have tried different combinations to no Avail. I am using a #18 Needle and Solarfix PTFE thread 2200HD/3-T8. JUKI 1541-S machine i think about a 2010 model. Photos are under side of material sewing around the horn clockwise with two pieces of weblon regetta. All others functions seem fine, pretty stitch and even on both sides except when making 90 turn. HELP !!!
