LumpenDoodle2 Report post Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Having a problem with one of my machine, which for some reason I cannot get my head round. The small/inside presser foot will not rise. I can lift it with the lever ok, but while sewing, it just sits there, so the stitch is tiny, as the material doesn't move properly. Yesterday, I dismantled it to check the parts, and I can see wear on several pieces,but I seem to be having an extended brain burp, as I can't see how to fix it. As I have said, I just cannot see how to fix it for some reason (my mind is obviously on higher things). Any ideas/suggestions greatgully received.

Constabulary Report post Posted March 12, 2017 Better post pictures of the machine. Is it a clone of a known brand machine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LumpenDoodle2 Report post Posted March 12, 2017 It it apoears to be a clone of the Highlead GC-0318 (which is also a clone, I believe). I have included a couple of pictures, which may (or may not) help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe Report post Posted March 12, 2017 The foot lift mechanism on your Lucy is similar to my Rex 11-155R. I made a short video showing how I equalize foot lift on my machine. Hopefully yours works in a similar way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LumpenDoodle2 Report post Posted March 13, 2017 Many thanks, I shall try that later today. I'm afraid I was having a neandertal day yesterday, with banging the rocks together being overtechnical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
