This setting usually gives the best ratio of lift between the inside and outside feet. Got the walking foot to move slightly. Messing with the screws. Just doesn’t look like it’s lifting up enough when moving. Trying to get some test stitches in but now the bobbin hook isn’t moving. Quote
Members Lgbrs9 Posted February 3, 2024 Author Members Report Posted February 3, 2024 So far got the bobbin out of the case and can’t seem to find any thread jammed but still can’t get the hook to move while I move the wheel Quote

Loose grub screws on the shaft driving the hook shaft? Look under the machine to see what is moving or not. Maybe it's time to take it to a repair shop. Quote

So far what I’ve seen is the gear that’s moves the hook slightly moves as the hook does while I turn the wheel. Only moves a bit doesn’t fully rotate Quote
Members Lgbrs9 Posted February 3, 2024 Author Members Report Posted February 3, 2024 Believe I got the safety clutch working, did a test stitch and it was feeding well. It’s currently jamming badly in the bobbin after the first few stitches (gnarly bird nesting) so I believe I’m getting somewhere. Will update. Quote

It seems to be feeding properly, but the bobbin isn’t locking stitches. Quote
