MegasHockeyShop Report post Posted January 21, 2018 I recently picked up a claes 30 patcher which initially worked fine but now has a problem when stitching. The foot moves up and down as expected but has stopped moving forward when stitching (ie: it doesn't walk. Has anyone experienced this problem? Is there some sort of setting that i need to be aware of to turn on the walking function? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Please post some pictures of your machine - first thing I woulds guess is that the stitch length is adjusted too short but that would be too obvious I think. Or (just from pictures I have in mind) the Transportkeil (sorry no english word for it in my dictionary for it) "popped" out of place. The Transportkeil is handing on a rim on the needle bar bushing in which the needle bar is going up and down in. But thats a rough guess at the moment.

MegasHockeyShop Report post Posted January 21, 2018 Thank you very much. You gave me enough of a clue to figure it out. I removed the needle and then was able to push up and over on the foot so the lip of the "hook like" thing slipped over the collar at the top (please see pic.) It was just freshly refurbished by the dealer. Is this a common thing that happens or should I go back to the dealer with a concern while it is still under warranty? Thanks!

Constabulary Report post Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) So that was it? Is it "walking again"? Don´t know if this is a common problem but I recall that I had a similar issue when I worked on a friends Claes patcher. Thats for sure not something you should expect from a refurbished machine. But as on all other sewing machines - things like this just happen sometimes. I would watch it and if this happens on and on I´d check with the dealer.

MegasHockeyShop Report post Posted January 21, 2018 I should have been more clear. Yes, walking again. Thank you very much. BTW, do you still have your old Claes 20 that you previously posted for sale? I have a colleague that may be interested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted January 21, 2018 You are welcome - glad it was just a small issue. Too bad but the #20 its gone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
