Moderator Wizcrafts Posted January 16, 2020 Moderator Report Posted January 16, 2020 I think you misunderstood what I meant by reversing the handwheel. I meant literally rotating the wheel backwards to reposition the needle to make a turn after it raised out of the material. There is a really narrow range of motion before the top thread gets double hooked when the wheel is reversed that way.

Yes sir, you are correct, I didn't read your reply closely enough, and I most definitely didn't physically rotate the handwheel, none the less, I don't at all fault the machine for locking up while I was running it. I am ever amazed by the tedious function these machines perform and the speeds they are capable of doing it reliably. Roger Quote
