TomG Report post Posted February 4, 2020 Howdy all. I have a relatively new Consew 227-R2. I was sewing some dog tag leads and the needle must have hit a hard spot in the leather and shifted, making the needle slam into the bottom dogs and snapping the needle. Had it happen before, so I figured no problem. Well, Problem... It had apparently pushed the needle bar up, because I couldn't pick up the bobbin thread. I checked the timing and the needle was well above the hook when the hook was at the needle. I had a marked needle that I used some time ago when I had to replace the needle bar, so I inserted it properly, positioned the hook and adjusted the needle bar to the mark. It seemed to sew OK but I quickly found I have 2 issues, 1) When the presser foot is all the way up and locked in place, the guide at the bottom of the needle bar hits the presser foot as I raise the needle to thread it. 2) As the bobbin gets low, it begins showing in the top threads. When full, it is nearly perfectly centered between the pieces. No tensions were altered. So, why would the needle bar hit the presser foot when it didn't before? And, how do I adjust that? Did I do something wrong when adjusting the timing? Any ideas as to the bottom stitch coming up? Photo attached. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
