Members ChapinLeather Posted January 10, 2016 Author Members Report Posted January 10, 2016 Is it possible to use a liquid wrench on that screw? I can't budge it, and I think I wore off a little bit of the hex wrench at least I hear a snap but the bolt still doesn't move. I'd have to get some I don't think I have any hanging around. Quote

How close it the tip of the hook to the center line of the needle, when the needle has lifted at least 1/8 to 3/16 inch from BDC? If it is within 1/16 inch, adjust the height of the needle bar instead. Just make sure that the hook is above the eye in order for it to pick off the thread loop.

Moderator Wizcrafts Posted January 11, 2016 Moderator Report Posted January 11, 2016 If you choose to lower the needle to meet the hook, make sure the tip of the needle doesn't hit the shuttle or bobbin case! If you have to lower it that far, stop and get somebody with better tools to loosen the clamping bolt as per my original checklist.
