It's cleaned, oiled and sews great but I'm having issues with the stitch length. I'm trying to change the stitch length and wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I installed a servo motor on it and when I try to adjust the stitch length I get a lot of resistance from the hand wheel and it feels like I have to force it. When I go to adjust the stitch length I start by pressing the left button/plunger then turn the hand wheel towards me. This causes the numbers to move but also causes the belt to move. Is this ok for the servo or do I need to remove the belt when I change the stitch length? Also, the stitch setting changes on it's own once I get sewing. I guess I need to know the correct procedure first, then determine if it's a mechanical problem. Any help is appreciated. I know this is an old thread but thought I'd chime in about the 'resistance' you are feeling while turning the hand wheel with a servo motor. The servo motor has pads for 'brakes' and you can release them by pushing just a little on your foot pedal (make sure your machine is off) while you turn the hand wheel. Quote
