Thanks for the videos I’ve had a good look and the problem is the needle is lifting too much and it is hitting below the scarf cutout. I lowered the shaft the needle is on 1mm and it doesn’t hit now but am pretty sure that’s not the way to fix it ,
hi I’ve just purchased my first sewing machine . The problem I’m seeing is ( I’ve turned it by hand) when the needle is on the way up the sharp knife blade on the bobbin holder contacts it as it’s going up is this normal and if not how do I fix it.
Im looking at having my leather cad designed and laser cut so it will make it a little better for me as I have bad elbows from 15 years of painting cars.
Due to not knowing where to get seat pans in australia , I am getting some seat pans laser cut in stainless steel this week from a friend at his work. he is going to hand roll them and tig weld the screws at his place for free. they will be cut in 14 gauge and will also have pot rivet holes laser cut in. I have based the desight and shape on the west eagle seat pan. they are costing 49 us for the laser cutting and the rolling and tig welding is free. If anyone is interested in some I could post 5 or 10 (up to 20 kg ) for 21$ . I will have pics up later this week. Im hoping if I can do larger orders it will get the price down for me and any one else who wants them
