joeyrsmith Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Hey gang, I have saturated the stitch adj wheel for several days now. I still can not get the stitch length to change from 3.5 per in. I see where the deck button drops into the wheel and stops the hook from spinning. I can rotate hand wheel, but I do not see whats really supposed to happen underneath. It is not disengaging the clutch as much, but I can not get it to change. this image is from Eric and represents mine exactly. Any ideas Thx Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Ok,turn the machine while pushing on the button,when it goes into the slot(button drops lower) hold the button down turn the handwheel away from you should be shorter.This is what the the + & -- on the handwheel indicates.

joeyrsmith Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Bob, I was going by manual which states what you are saying but, you say turn it away from myself. I was turning to myself as per the manual. Actually it just says to turn to desired length. Is this the big problem I have had. Not turning away from myself? Thx Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pcox Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Have you tried turning the hand wheel backwards? If yes then it sound like the adjuster cam is stuck. With the button down the collars on each side of the ring with the notch in it should turn when you turn the hand wheel. With the machine at 3 1/2 you will have to turn backwards.
