Another decent troubleshooting guide.

That is a very good one Eric. I would like to think that this could be a pinned post. As you know how many times almost every week this advice could be referred to here. Regards Brian

This should be pinned.

regarding pinned posts - well, pinned post surely make sense and Erics post with worth to be pinned BUT sooner or later you have a long list of pinned posts on top of the site and the the new posts starts somewhere at the end of the page. That makes not much sense.

What I would suggest is a "Leather Sewing Machine Reference" section for pinned threads and for (if possible) PDF manuals. So the long list of pinned threads are "out of the way" but still present for a quick reference.

Just a suggestion... what do you guys (and Admins) think?

Mods can't alter the folder structure of the forum. We can move posts, merge them, lock them and delete them. But, I like your idea about having a new sub-directory for reference material. I'll toss it around with Johanna when I get time.

Here is a file that seems about the same as troubleshooting2 but in a different format.

"Compound Feed Walking Foot Machines" is still sold by Consew Sewing.

I learned;

Feeders with 'two rows' of teeth help prevent the material from slipping laterally.  I thought this was to do with thread clearance.  Now I know.

I first had seen how to open up the thread guard in the Compound Feed book, didn't know it originated in the Singer notes.

Constabulary/Wiz, I reckon a sub-folder (or something similar) is a great idea. It will give a single location where this stuff can be found without cluttering up the main sticky area unnecessarily.

Got my vote.
