Members Handstitched Posted July 25, 2011 Members Report Posted July 25, 2011 G'Day, After repairing horse rugs with my Seiko STW28B all day, I bent a needle....it happens. So,I changed the needle and while I was at it, I also cleaned and oiled the machine up, as some rugs can be quite dusty . But when I started sewing again, nothing was going right, my stiches were 'codging up' underneath, my thread was breaking when I reversed, and the machine just didn't sound right, I just put it down to too much oil somewhere or my tensions were all over the place, it was going perfect all day otherwise... ( the client also desperately needed their horse rug back for the weekend) .I ended up finishing the rug off on my Colt....around 11pm. The next day I went about solving my problem, on the Seiko. After a few hours of checking and re-checking , pulling my hair out from frustration , I checked the needle, it was in the WRONG WAY AROUND. groove to the right, scarf to the left. DUH!!!!!! I was tired and it was late...that my excuse!! HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?
