Drognan Report post Posted January 18, 2012 Exactly! The GB is already screwed at the lowest point it can be and it still dousen't make a loop. If a try to take the gb needle more down in the needle bar hole it would fall off. The ring gear is in a good contition but it misses. Can i adjust the gear some how????

Lower the needle bar itself by the amount necessary to place a properly installed needle at the correct height on the upstroke, to place the eye below the pickup point. If you have already lowered the needle inside the bar, you may need to move the bar down at least 3 mm. That should position the needle's eye below the hook as it passes the cutout scarf.

Drognan Report post Posted January 23, 2012 So i but the needle bar at the correct position as Wizcrafts sad and tried to make some stitches but after that i saw another ishue. And that's the needle itself what is now in a fery od sitiutation. The needle is very off the foots hole and when i drag it down it touches the foot and that damages the thread. Plus it's off the tables hole tooo. Can't see where to adjust the needle to get it in the center. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted January 23, 2012 Keep looking for a place where you can adjust the sideways position of the needle bar. You can't use the machine with the needle hitting the foot or throat plate hole. Try rotating the needle bar and see if it moves the needle's position at all. The bar might be warped, or the bearing on the bottom worn, or an adjuster screw set improperly. Are you using the proper needle type? is it a loose fit or tight fit inside the bar? If it is loose and able to wiggle, the needle is the wrong "system" for that machine. The proper needle system should just slide into the bottom of the needle bar and line up directly with the holes.
