Contributing Member SooperJake Posted February 23, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted February 23, 2013 What should I adjust when the knots are visible from the bottom? I sometimes have to switch between the flat plate and the holster plate and when using the holster plate, it seems the knots show up more often.

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted February 23, 2013 Moderator Report Posted February 23, 2013 Less bottom tension, more top tension, or a larger needle size.

Members Rayban Posted February 23, 2013 Members Report Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I was getting those when I forgot to give the thread one full wrap around the second (btm) tension wheel. ( I have the 3500) I thought I could thread the machine in my sleep, guess I can't yet. Edited February 23, 2013 by Rayban Quote Raybanwww.rgleather.net

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted February 23, 2013 Moderator Report Posted February 23, 2013 I'm currently using two turns around the bottom disks.

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted February 23, 2013 Moderator Report Posted February 23, 2013 I feed the thread down, through the steel loop guide over the bottom disks, then around the disks twice, then back up through the guide, then to the thread check spring, etc. Quote Posted IMHO, by Wiz My current crop of sewing machines: Cowboy CB4500, Singer 107w3, Singer 139w109, Singer 168G101, Singer 29k71, Singer 31-15, Singer 111w103, Singer 211G156, Adler 30-7 on power stand, Techsew 2700, Fortuna power skiver and a Pfaff 4 thread 2 needle serger.
