Needle Won't Pick Up Bobbin Thread

[Rowdybarn]

I have a Consew 205rb-1 and the needle won't pick up the boo in thread? Any ideas? This is a new machine.

Rowdy,

Check that the needle is in correctly, groove to the left.

Sorry Art but the grove is on the left, the scarf is on the right! But I´m sure you meant the scarf.

@Rowdybarn

Maybe the needle bar is a bit too high or to low or the hook tip is too far away from the needle or the needle / hook timing is off. Since it is a new machine I´m sure the manual gives you instruction how to make adjustments. If you don´t have a manual you can download it here:

if you still have trouble I´m sure someone here can help you.

Does the 205 have a reset button like the 206 on the flat bed? Its a silver button you hold down, and turn the pulley to line everything up.

Isn't that what I said? Why don't you read what I wrote before correcting me?

Art - I´m sure I read the grove to the right - but seems I misread and typed to fast - sorry
