Moderator Wizcrafts Posted February 26, 2013 Moderator Report Posted February 26, 2013 just a small tip. When I change the thread on my Cobra, I cut the thread behind the tension disk and knot the new thread at the cut. Using the presser foot lever in the up position, the knot will easily pass through all the tensions and the take up arm. Then all you have to do is come down and thread the needle. JOE I do this on every one of my sewing machines. It is a real headache saver.

Members Sylvia Posted February 26, 2013 Members Report Posted February 26, 2013 Hi franko: At least you didn't put your servo motor into reverse on accident like I did once. lol I was befuddled for a long time until David at Cobra sent me a PDF on how to fix that. Take your time, you'll get this sewing thing down in no time at all. Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
Members franko2 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Members Report Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks for the tip Joe, and for the encouragement Sylvia, I just tell myself "patients Grasshopper" and go have a beer. Quote
Members franko2 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Members Report Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Finally getting into my new Class 4, pics of practice stitches attached. Not so fearfull of the machine as i am getting aquanted with it, and loving the learning curve. The wrist band is the 1st finished practice piece and now onto fork bags and saddle bags. A little more practice for the back loch stitching but will conquer Edited March 6, 2013 by franko2 Quote
