Another point that seems to get missed is the foot presser adjuster has a large funnel shape in it. Guess why? A couple of drops can work wonders in there. Also some times the adjuster is not exactly straight with the shaft so it is worth checking by lifting the feet when doing the adjustment to feel for any binding. Doing the lock nut on it can also make it sit crooked and bind up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew about the dished adjuster to aid in oiling from some vids I watched. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cashmanleather Report post Posted October 22 (edited) You have to use as large a needle as needed without catching. You can also run it through some thread Lube. When you're all done take a flat shoe hammer or something with no marks on it and tap the stitches all the way around. It'll set everything and closeup the holes Edited October 22 by Northmount fixed typo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
