JRP430 Report post Posted January 7 Hi to my friends at leather craft, Just purchased a new cobra 3 machine and went slow with the set-up and initial sewing drills. I'm new to machines so this problem may be an obvious one that eludes this novice. After settingt up new thread, I wound a new bobbin for my first project with the table winder, no thread in the needle area. When I went to thread the needle area, I could not move the needle rotating the hand wheel. I tried it both manually and with power but the needle won't move. The motor , belt and wheel rotate but not the needle. Only adjustments I made were, speed and stitch length. Any ideas?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am going to assume the set screws in the handwheel weren't tighten so the handwheel is slipping on the main shaft. So I would check that first. kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
