Backstitching Not Lining Up With Forward Stitches

[22B]

Hi everyone

I am new here. I have been learning from our discussions here.

I have a Juki dnu-241 and the reverse backstitches do not end up in the same holes. They are shifted to the left of the forward stitches. Is there an adjustment I can make to line up the stitches? I hope this can be set properly. Thanks.

Hello 22B. The Juki dnu-241 is the same as a Nakajima 280L. It is about 30 years old, (maybe more). It could be the feed dog is worn, or off centered. It could also be the feed timing. Have a good mechanic look at it and he should be able to correct this problem. The parts are available for this machine, if needed. Thanks, Steve

My guess is the inside foot parts are worn allowing the inside foot to move left & right as your sewing.Turn the machine around by hand & see if it moves left to right.
