pat h Report post Posted May 9, 2010 I have been using this machine for about 6 months now. I decided to use some smaller thread and needles for a new project it will not pick up the thread for the lockstitch. I think i have about adjusted everything i can think of and the bobin still wont catch the top thread. i changed back th the larger thread and needles and it worked fine after adjusting the tensions again. I am using a 110 needle and 69 thread. any help would be greatly appricated. thanks Pat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Denster Report post Posted May 9, 2010 The Boss is not best suited for that small a thread even 99 is iffy. You may have to shim the spacer behind the shuttle out a bit so the hook just brushes past the needle. Take you needle plate off and hold the needle foot up and cycle the machine until you can see the hook passing the needle and check the clearance with a feeler guage you only want a few thousandths of clearance to be able to pick up the thread.
