Hey sorry to bother you like this, but I’m sure this thread is dead. But, it’s the most recent I been in the worst luck with my recently purchased leather shoe patcher machine. I’ve watched every video imaginable. My mistake was buying It off Facebook marketplace. The man I bought it from said he had no issues and showed me a sample piece he said he’d stitched so I assumed it worked. I took it home and I’m having the worst luck. I can’t get the needle to pick up the bobbin thread. I’ve got the bottom gear bar flush. I have the needle bar about 1/4” inch sticking out and my needle doesn’t pierce my finger from the bottom. I’ve got my shuttle and that little housing facing right when the crank is at 3 o’clock, but I just can’t get it. And, when I first tried it the needle thread was making a literal mess under the shuttle and kept getting stuck. I’m sorry to bother but I’m really upset about it and wanted to know if it’s fixable. Idk what kinda tinkering this gentleman did before my purchase and I honestly regret it!
