Indeed! It worked! I've moved the left assembly enough so that there is the same space between both needles and hooks. Now the next problem. I can feel (and hear) a bit more play in the gears of the left hook. I've moved the assembly to the left so there is more space between the angular gears. I've tried to loosen the screws on the left gear and gently tap it to the left but it won't move a bit. Any suggestions? Forward thanks! Quote
CowboyBob Posted April 6, 2020 Report Posted April 6, 2020 You have to "break" it loose too.Put a screwdriver carefully in the bottom of the groove & tap it to spin on on the shaft. Quote Bob Kovar Toledo Industrial Sewing Machine Sales Ltd. 3631 Marine Rd Toledo,Ohio 43609 1-866-362-7397
