Another Tacsew Issue

[crazyguy]

Hi Everyone

I just bought a New feed dog and needle plate for my Tacsew T111-155 . It is larger than the one I had on it and after I installed it,

It sews fine however when I press the reverse lever it brakes the needle. Upon investigation, when the lever is pressed the needle moved backward and strikes the feed dog and brakes.

Any ideas how to adjust this correctly?

Thanks In advance!

Put it on a long stitch & check to see if it hits in the front or back,if not you can loosen the screw in pic#1 & adjust it there,If the feed dog is hitting then you'll need to loosen the 2-screws in pic#2 that are underneath.

Thanks Bob!

You are the man!

I made the adjustment under the machine as you said first then I fine tuned things with the screw on the top of the machine.

Works just fine now, Thanks Again!

Bob,

I think I spoke too soon! When I went to use the machine tonight the reverse will not make any stitches, but at least now the needle does not hit. Is there another adjustment I can make?
