VeeBee Report post Posted May 6, 2018 Hello All, I have a Techsew 2700 sewing machine, I've been constantly having the problem of the leather that im sewing not pushing through, i realized that i need a roller foot. I purchased one but i am unsure if it's compatible with this machine. & if it is i have NO idea on how to install as it seems like the opening wont fit to screw it in. Any thoughts?

Constabulary Report post Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) What means not pushing through? Not feeding the material forward or needle not pushing through the leather? If it is a new machine have you checked with Techsew? You cannot install a roller foot on a triple feed machine like the 2700. You only can install a roller foot on a drop feed (bottom feed only) or double feed (bottom feed + needle feed) machine.

VeeBee Report post Posted May 6, 2018 hmm that's unfortunate. Well when i fold leather on the edges and try to stitch them it wont feed forward, then i would have to try to do it manually. It's also because the butt end of the walking foot would get stuck and wont allow it to feed forward. I hope i'm explain this well. Any tips and tricks? or maybe a foot that can help solve this?

SheltathaLore Report post Posted May 7, 2018 This might get more attention from the experts if it were in the Sewing Machines forum. Regardless, it would be helpful to know what you're specifically trying to sew - if you could take a picture, that would likely help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
