mlapaglia Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks, It's always nice to here the updates. I got that chuck for my power screwdriver and it works great for winding the bobbin at an even tension. I finally got to the point that I can adjust the machine when changing thread sizes in just a few secs. I really love this machine.

Members ouchmyfinger Posted March 10, 2012 Members Report Posted March 10, 2012 I would check to make sure the thread is coming off the spool/cone smoothly. Sounds like it is binding slightly someplace between the spool and the needle every few stiches. that exact thing happened to me and i didn't notice until it really caught, the thread coming off the spool going up through the metal guide on your thread stand thing wasn't helping the cause either, i had to bend it to keep this from happening. once i noticed it i payed attention to it and it was doing it more and less depending on what part of the spool of thread i was at, more of a problem at the bottom obviously. someone told me to use a little spray of silicon on my roll of thread and that would keep it smooth throughout the whole machine. hope this helped Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted March 10, 2012 Moderator Report Posted March 10, 2012 A little time has passed but I wanted to post a follow up to the thread snagging issue I was having. Thanks to Wizcrafts, I placed a plastic funnel over the thread cone and this 100% fixed the snagging issue I was having. ... Now I know we're not in Kansas anymore! Is that the Coneman?
