Members Winks Posted March 4 Members Report Posted March 4 When the wheel is turned the timing gear turns without moving the gears. If I turn the handwheel toward the back, it catches the knob and turns the gears fine. Is there a way to reverse that lever or knob so it catches the right way? Let me know if there's a way to insert a picture if it would help. Quote

Sounds like the safety clutch kicked out,there's 2 buttons on the bed,push on the one on the right ,turn your handwheel backwards until the button pushes down alittle more into a notch,then turn the handwheel backwards until you hear a click from underneath indicating it's reset.The machine should sew now.

Members Winks Posted March 7 Author Members Report Posted March 7 (edited) The safety clutch was the problem. I had it, but it kept slipping out. I've got it in place tightly enough that it doesn't disconnect anymore. But now it sews backward. The feed dogs look like they are moving in the right direction when I move the wheel forward but they obviously aren't moving right. Edited March 7 by Winks Typo Quote
Members Winks Posted March 7 Author Members Report Posted March 7 Is this fixed by syncing the walking feet or the feed dogs? I'm used to the feed dogs moving back when they are at the highest point, but the walking foot is not in sync with that movement 2 hours ago, Winks said: The safety clutch was the problem.

So far, I've only found a different industrial machine video that just had a switch to put it back to forward sewing, but I don't see a switch. It sews beautifully when I hold down the reverse lever.

Members shoepatcher Posted March 9 Members Report Posted March 9 If still sewing backwards, the feed eccentric has to be 180 degrees out of adjustment. safety clutch out? glenn Quote

I put the safety clutch back in place manually instead of using the button on the machine. Could that be the cause? Quote
