Members caperseven Posted August 13, 2023 Members Report Posted August 13, 2023 Is this ok? Have he&p kit and a new 23 cutting needle and not bent. As you can se the needle is off to left and not centered. Even the feet are a little bit off, the inner touches the outer one and i can adjust the dog a little bit with shims. JB Quote

FYI: I have this narrow feed dog on my Cowboy CB4500 and my needle goes dead center through the slot in the feed dog.

Your only hope would be to move the entire needle bar and both presser bars to the right. It is doable, but not painless. I would think about returning, or selling it, and buying a Cowboy CB4500, or actual Juki TSC-441, if they are available in Sweden. But, keep the narrow plate and feed dog.

kgg Posted August 13, 2023 Report Posted August 13, 2023 2 hours ago, caperseven said: Original feeddog and throatplate plate was not exactly centered. Another possibility, be it unlikely, is that the needle bar (part # 210-92002) got bent somehow or the needle stopper (part # 210-92408) was installed cross threaded. If you got the machine from a dealer or directly from Jianglong I would send photo's with the original presser feet and needle plate re installed and request a replacement of the machine or at least their suggestions / procedure on correcting the problem. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
RockyAussie Posted August 14, 2023 Report Posted August 14, 2023 Looks like the center walking foot and needle bar may be both be too far to the left. They are all in one block together and I am sure you can adjust the whole lot a little to the right. Look at the machine head in front of the needle bar and you will see a screw bolt that is slightly slotted and above that in a hole is a locking screw which needs to be undone first. I would take the side cover off and have a good look at the whole lot first. If the needle bar or its clamp were out of line it would show up pretty easy by loosening the needle bar and turning it around while watching the needle.

RockyAussie Posted August 14, 2023 Report Posted August 14, 2023 I forgot to say there is a screw on the back of the head that may need to be loosened as well. This post link should show a diagram that may help you better - Quote Wild Harry - Australian made leather goodsYouTube Channel Instagram
Contributing Member Tim Schroeder Posted August 14, 2023 Contributing Member Report Posted August 14, 2023 Simple fix. The diagram is in the thread RockyAussie is quoting. When you loosen set screw #31 it allows you to push part #30 over either way if you needed to. Once you move the needle bar over you will be able to straighten up the center walking foot. Quote
