venator Report post Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) So I just got a durkopp addler 467 from nick-o-sew, great folks by the way, and I'm Having issues with reverse. If you look at the picture you'll see a flawless reverse on the top right but a messed up weird thread bundle on the top left. I have no idea what causes this. Any help is appreciated. The only thing I can tbink is that it's at which part of the stroke I begin my reverse but I can't seem to find the sweet spot to start to avoid it.

husker Report post Posted March 18, 2015 It looks like you need to tighten your top tension some. I cans see the knots being pulled to the bottom. That is the first place I would start. I always flip the reverse lever after my needle has reach all the way down and has risen about a 1/4" back up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted March 18, 2015 If that is where you started from, did you hold onto the threads when you started? +1 on waiting until the needle is rising and the hook has caught the loop before going to reverse. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
