TJ959 Report post Posted May 6, 2020 I have a Seiko STW 8 Consew clone. I've had it less than a year and somehow I seem to have lost my mojo. When I change the bobbin I,m doing something wrong. It won't pick up under the tension spring unless I take the the bobbin case out. Those little tiny screws are just not a viable option and I've nearly lost one at least twice. I'm having trouble getting competent with this thing as it is. I have an other issue with this when I turn it around to back stitch it cuts the thread. (no reverse) I do a passable saddle stitch so maybe I should be a more hands on stitcher. Is there a video somewhere or should I just sell it and continue sewing by hand?
