Members Ashley Posted May 15, 2008 Author Members Report Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Yippee! Got shipping confirmation that it will be delivered on Tuesday next week. Hoping it's sooner though! I am going to wait until I get the machine to buy any accessories. I'll keep you posted Edited May 15, 2008 by Ashley Quote
Members Ashley Posted May 20, 2008 Author Members Report Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) I received my machine today. I have only sewn on a home machine and this is definitely new to me. The manual that comes with it is so vague. I am having a hard time threading it. Please help! Do I use #69 thread for handbags and wallets? Do I use 135x16 size 16, 18, 20, or 22?

Members gunfighter48 Posted May 21, 2008 Members Report Posted May 21, 2008 I emailed you a Sailrite manual that should be a great help. Let me know if you got it ok. John Quote gunfighter48 A 45 may not expand but it will never be smaller than .45!! NRA Member PSLAC Member
Members Ashley Posted May 24, 2008 Author Members Report Posted May 24, 2008 (edited) What kind of universal presser feet will work on this machine? Can i use the same thread for the bobbin? Also, the bobbin winder post is crooked and as a result my bobbin is not winding evenly. Any suggestions? Edited May 24, 2008 by Ashley Quote
Members gunfighter48 Posted May 24, 2008 Members Report Posted May 24, 2008 Also, the bobbin winder post is crooked and as a result my bobbin is not winding evenly. Any suggestions? Look at the bobbin tensioner, the spring loaded butten that you wrap the thread around, there should be a screw on the front side of the machine that you can loosen. Loosen the screw slightly and you can raise and lower the bobbin tensioner. Using that adjustment will get the thread at the right height to wind evenly on the bobbin.

I posted another thread because this title isn't accurate. Quote
