Members cowboy bowhunter Posted April 23, 2015 Members Report 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

Members Yetibelle Posted April 23, 2015 Members Report 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.

Members Constabulary Posted April 24, 2015 Members Report 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!!!

Is that because i need a reducer? 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? Quote -- Al.

Members Singermania Posted May 6, 2015 Members Report 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
