Members BallisticTip Posted April 12, 2015 Author Members Report Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) The tension assembly and timing was the culprit. Thanks for the help everyone! Edited April 13, 2015 by BallisticTip Quote
Members Beardedbandana Posted April 14, 2015 Members Report Posted April 14, 2015 I haven't had a chance to work on it yet, preparing for the holiday. Hopefully in the next day or so. I'm going to go through all the adjustments again... I've found there are some manuals that are more detailed than others - different (updated?) factory manuals for the same machine. So I ended up finding my main problem. I didn't have my bobbin housing set right. When you take off the base plate (plate under presser foot) it has a notch to hold a little arm on top of the bobbin case. My bobbin case used to move and spin, now its held in place by that little arm. That's what fixed it for me. Quote
Members TRHLeather Posted April 15, 2015 Members Report Posted April 15, 2015 I had a similar problem except mine was because the clearance between the bobbin case and that plate was too close. The dimensions were not exactly the same because I ordered the Ebay/chineese part instead of the Pfaff part (almost $200 cheaper). It used to tie the most incredible giant balls of thread. I actually had to lower the whole assembly by making shims to get the clearance. I'm glad you finally figured it all out. Good luck sewing!
