Members benlilly1 Posted February 2, 2013 Members Report Posted February 2, 2013 Nice belts...hope the swap meet was a success! Quote
Members Jimbob Posted February 3, 2013 Members Report Posted February 3, 2013 Nice belts, I do a lot belts like this on my Adler 105-64...love top stitch on belts and straps! Pay close attention to your top thread tension, on these pictures it seems like your knots trying to come up to the top!! Which would mean your top tension is a bit tight or to big of a needle... Well done!! James Quote
Members jayjay Posted February 5, 2013 Author Members Report Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks JimBob I now see what you mean. I use thread size 92 and a 21 needle, does that seem correct?

Members colttrainer Posted February 5, 2013 Members Report Posted February 5, 2013 21 is the top end for needle on that size thread. try and use as small a needle as you can. Quote
Members Jimbob Posted February 7, 2013 Members Report Posted February 7, 2013 I second that, always try to thread the thread into the needle eye and see how loose you can move the needle from one end to the other...that thread needle combo should be fine. In your case, I think it is more a top tension problem....knots coming op, loosen top tension, knots visible on bottom...get more top tension....that's all there is to it.....very seldom you have to mess with the bottom tension!
