Members mjs Posted June 17, 2014 Members Report Posted June 17, 2014 I have a wide throat champion that was working well, but suddenly the needle is sitting slightly to the left of the awl. I've tried new needles, awls, and tightened up the plate that holds the needle bar in place, but it's still off. If I turn the awl a quarter turn it punches a wide enough hole that the needle will hit the edge of it but I feel the stitching looks better with the holes being punched in the same direction as you are sewing and I would rather fix the problem than work around it. So, if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike Quote
Members HBARK Posted June 21, 2014 Members Report Posted June 21, 2014 It could be the needle is slightly bent. Maybe try a new needle. On my champion I don't see how the needle would get out of line unless the piece holding the needle was wore out.Don't know if this helps but good luck. Quote
