Members Cajunfighter Posted October 16, 2016 Members Report Posted October 16, 2016 So I am trying to get used to my Boss and having some trouble getting the stitch right. The lock is coming to the top side of the stitch. The manual suggests that I loosen up the tensioners until the issue is resolved, but I loosen both of them all the way and nothing is fixed. Any suggestions? Thanks Quote
Members plinkercases Posted October 16, 2016 Members Report Posted October 16, 2016 you can also tighten the bobbin tension to help pull the lock down into the work Quote "Oh my God....I beseech thee grant me the grace to remain in Thy Presence; and to this end do Thou prosper me with Thy assistance, receive all my works, and possess all my affections" Brother Lawrence c.1614-1691 plinkercases.ca
glamb Posted October 17, 2016 Report Posted October 17, 2016 Try just going around once instead of twice on the tensioner you went around twice on? Try it? Quote

bikermutt07 Posted October 19, 2016 Report Posted October 19, 2016 Does the boss have reverse? Probably a dumb question, but I am a curious type. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!!

Members 3Hank876 Posted October 19, 2016 Members Report Posted October 19, 2016 No the boss does not have reverse so to say. You just turn the piece around. Like others have said, check your bobbin tension. Different thread sizes require different tension. They can be picky Quote
Members Dwight Posted October 19, 2016 Members Report Posted October 19, 2016 I've had my boss for several years, . . . follow exactly what the mfg recommends, . . . have no issues. IT IS A BIT TRICKY to get the machine set up at first if for some reason yours is not, . . . but follow their directions and it'll work out. You also want to get a couple of 1/4 X 20 wing nuts, . . . and if you get to where everything you sew is pretty much the same thickness, etc, . . . use them to lock down your tensioners. As for reverse, . . . I just lift up my foot, . . . push the piece back, . . . lower the needle and sew, . . . must do each stitch individually, . . . but it works.
