Patcher stitch line

[Garyak]

Right size needle, enough presser foot presser to ensure the item being sewn stays in constant contact with the needle bed, make sure the needle scarf is facing the hook, perfectly left to right. West to east if your in Louisiana and make sure the bobbin is would nicely and feeding the right direction. Should get you fixed up.

Looks like I am good, for now

Thanks for the helpful tips and tricks from everyone

special shout out to a YouTube channel by Harry Rogers.  The bobbin drop test saved my bacon
 

I removed the tension spring from the bobbin carrier and found years worth of thread dust and dirt. Little wd40 and a q tip did the trick

made a leather washer for the tension discs to sit on
