with my narrow toed harness makers foot

[esantoro]

Now that I have the bobbin tension issue covered once and for all, it's time for more tinkering.

In the past, i have had some difficulty with quality stitching with my narrow toed harness makers foot on one or two layers of chrome tanned leather. Thicker leather was not a problem, and this had never been a problem with my blanket foot. Because of all this I noticed that the harness foot and the blanket foot do not descend the same distance, which is only a problem with the harness makers foot on two layers of 5/6 ox chrome tanned leather or thinner.

As it is now, the lowest the outer toes of the harness foot descend is about two millimeters from the flat slotted plate. The center foot touches all the way down.

Should I go ahead and drop the bar that holds the outer toes one millimeter. My educated guess says to go ahead and give it a try.

Hi Ed,

If it is giving you problems, lower it. I have noticed with different manufacturers of the outer feet that they are not consistently the same height even though they say they are for 441/2000 and like machines.

Hi Art,

I think it would be good to drop the bar for the outer toes a tad. Should I drop it so that outer toes touch the slotted flat needle plate or about 1 mm above it?

I think this is one of those things calling out to be fixed that needs to be fixed.

Thanks,

I run mine all the way down flat on the needle plate, if I was doing 3/4 inch all day, then I would run it higher.
