mikesc Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Yes..nice close ups..the needle is in correctly ( allowing for a little parallax in the shots along the arm )..one way to "set" your needle is to put either another needle or the tip of a toothpick into the needle's eye from the machine side, then before tightening the needle clamp you can use the other needle or the toothpick to make sure that the "eye" and the arm are parallel..Then tighten the needle clamp ..the toothpick acts like a "direction amplifying pointer/ indicator.

mikesc Posted July 23, 2019 Report Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) If anything your last photo ( shame the focus is off ) shows you may have the needle's eye pointing slightly towards the rear of the machine, which would mean the "loop" would not be as "full" as it should when the hook gets to it..Try putting a toothpick, or another needle , point first into the eye from the pulley side..does it point along the arm parallel ? Or slightly to the back of the machine..If the latter? Loosen and re "set" the needle so that the toothpick / other needle then points parallel along the arm..It should then sew better, with less chance of occasional "missed stitches".
