I haven't really gotten it figured out. The top thread gets tangled up the bobbin carrier, and doesn't catch the bobbin thread. I think I'm going to try finding a local mechanic to conne fix it sadly. I really wanted to figure it out myself lol

I sent you a message bert

I have scoured the web, and here, but I really can't find a good guide for ensuring mtg timing is right, and threading the bobbin correctly. I downloaded the user manual that is often linked on this site, and it's really vague to me. I'm a newbie, but I really thought I had the mechanical aptitude to figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. When I run it slow by hand, it won't pick up the bobbin thread, and the needle thread gets wound up on the bobbin carrier. I believe I have my needle height set correctly by the manual, but I could certainly be wrong.

I'm finding conflicting results for the needle I'm looking for, and could use some advice from the pros here. It's a walking foot cylinder machine, and from what I find, it uses either 126 or 128? I'm looking for some bigger sized, 19-22 for leather working. I could use and appreciate anyone's advice!
