Moderator Wizcrafts Posted May 26, 2016 Moderator Report Posted May 26, 2016 I should mention that if b2k is using a large needle, like a #23, he should rotate the throat plate to place the large hole under the needle.

I think 0.8mm thread is too thick for this machine. The metric thread size should be mention on the thread spool. Patchers are often overrated - they are very versatile but they are not heavy duty machines. Thick thread above 138 (20 metric) does not make much sense with these machines and will probably stress your machine - if you are able to run this thick thread at all. Anyway - check the position of the needle. Sys. 332 needles should have the long grove left and short grove right and the needle eye should face straight right but you can play with it a little bit with the angle. Probably move the needle holder a bit closer to the hook. I´d also check the hook timing and the condition of the hook tip.
