cowboy bowhunter Report post Posted April 23, 2015 Does anyone have any pictures of a reducer for a 97-10. My machine is missing stitches at slow speeds but is perfect at fast speeds. Is that because i need a reducer? thanks matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yetibelle Report post Posted April 23, 2015 We really need some video of this machine in action. There is no good video of a 97-10 on YouTube. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Constabulary Report post Posted April 24, 2015 W/o knowing the machine I´d assume it is a needle / hook timing problem. I would like to see this machine in action as well!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To answer this question - no, adding a reducer won't affect the way the machine stitches. Have you checked for wear throughout the machine? Does the shuttle carrier have any play in it if you try to rotate it while holding the hand wheel still? Is the point of the shuttle worn? What type and size of needle are you using?

Singermania Report post Posted May 6, 2015 Al is right, its nothing to do with a speed reducer, that will only make it go slower, however I wouldn't like to run a 97 without one. Missing stitches can be many things, for example... top tension to tight, wrong needle to thread sizes, timing, hook worn and so on.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
