Members Bruce Evans Posted December 7, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 7, 2015 Getting closer,got it to pick up the thread,now just to correct it skipping stitches..had all kinds of things out of adjustment,just had to start going through the book and adjust 1 thing at a time,but hey I have never got it to do this much,so I guess I am winning...took a break and went back to look at it and found a problem with he way I have the spool set up,will fix that tomorrow..Also noticed that I had forgot to tighten the 2 adjuster screws on the wishbone shaped arm on the back,may have something to do with things not adjusting correctly.

dirtclod Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 If your talking about winding a bobbin, get a piece of dowel rod that bobbin fits good on. Put the dowel in a cordless drill and your good to go. Quote I'm old enough to know that i don't know everything.

Members pcox Posted December 7, 2015 Members Report Posted December 7, 2015 I have a bobbin winder but you can chuck on end in a drill and support the other end in a small hole in the end of a table. run the thread thru a screw eye at least 3 feet away and turn on the drill. You are a blacksmith you will figure it out Quote
Members Bruce Evans Posted December 7, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 7, 2015 thanks Mr,Cox Quote
Members Big Sioux Saddlery Posted December 7, 2015 Members Report Posted December 7, 2015 What Pcox said above about winding the bobbin, did it that way for years until I got a bobbin winder. Now I have two, but I don't want to sell either one:-) For a couple years, I worked out of a shop that had a metal turning lathe sitting unused, and that worked very well for winding the bobbins. Just chuck it in and go. And make sure your bobbin is wound tight and even; this is very important to the machine sewing consistently. Also, set your bobbin tension so that there is a pretty good pull. That makes a tighter stitch. Quote
Members Bruce Evans Posted December 7, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks for the help on the winder..Today I made a new thread holder and tray to hold needles and bobbins and other things. Quote
