to start with when the hook is not picking up the top thread f.i. when needle bar is too high when the needle hit a hart spot (needle plate...) and the NB has been pushed up and so forth...

Thanks.   I googled "needle bar" and it showed me a great pub in Taiwan LOL

But eventually I worked it out, makes sense.

then add sewing machine to your needle bar search and you for sure will have more proper results

@suzelle  I’m not sure if this will help, this is the manual that I downloaded for a Juki that my machine was based on.

Thank you Tequila! I actually did find a manual for my machine on-line. But I'll take a look at this one too. Much appreciated!

Tequila, when you have a chance can you please post some pics of your new Cobra 2600? It would be great to see how you have it set up, if you are ready to show us.  I'm considering either this machine or a cowbody CB341 as my next machine purchase. Can't wait to see what you create with yours! My intent would be to get a cylinder bed for doing bags, hats, wallets, straps, even a pair of shoes here and there. Soft comfortable shoes!

Edit: Adding that I am also interested in the Techsew 2750. This machine and the two others I mentioned above all look like the type of machine I am hunting for and all in the same price range. I do like the lighter color machines though, easier to see your work and colors around you. I find it sort of hard to see colors with too many dark colors around me. My eyesight is not as good as it used to be, but being an Artist, I am constantly deciding on what colors to use when putting something together. Easier to do this on the fly when I'm surrounded by light neautrals, or white.

@suzelle  here you go nothing fancy but there’s plenty of light in the room and the LED light really brightens up the workspace.   Oops looks like I forgot to close the latch

Nice pic, nice machine!!!! Yes, looks very good light to me. I'm so glad you got the machine you were dreaming of and it's in good shape. You must be absolutely thrilled! (I do love mine too!). So.... do you have all the feet you want or do you plan to buy different ones for it?
