Members Gia Posted July 6, 2020 Author Members Report Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) I did another try and this is how the stitching looks like. Seems to be a problem with hook but I don't guess which. Edited July 6, 2020 by Northmount replaced 3rd party links with the pictures Quote
Members Constabulary Posted July 6, 2020 Members Report Posted July 6, 2020 that looks like a tension problem - Which picture is top and which is bottom side? I guess the flesh (rough) side is the top side right?

I guess the flesh (rough) side is the top side right? The rough side is the bottom side. It sews nice on top and it tangled the thread on the bottom. Update: the hook timing seems to be perfect.. the hook meets the needle about 1.8mm after it starts rising. Here is a video with the timing: Quote
Members jimi Posted July 6, 2020 Members Report Posted July 6, 2020 can you send a picture of the thread path from the start to finish? Quote

Members jimi Posted July 6, 2020 Members Report Posted July 6, 2020 I would pull out the thread and start again, if it is still the same then start to increase the top tension little by little? The only thing i can think of just now is the top tension is too slack?? Quote

The only thing i can think of just now is the top tension is too slack?? I did that already, and nothing happened.. I notice that sometimes the thread got stuck between the tension discs. Quote
Members jimi Posted July 6, 2020 Members Report Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Is the tension release pin working when you lift the foot up? If the thread is sticking then take off the disks and see what is causing it to stick? Edited July 6, 2020 by jimi Quote
Members jimi Posted July 6, 2020 Members Report Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) In your picture the thread is not going through the first pin? it looks to be going around the outside, (see picture) also it looks like you have little tension compared to my machines??(see picture) can you send a picture of your tension unit from the side also?

I took off the tension but I can tell why the thread gets stuck.. The machine is threaded just like yours, as you can see: Edited July 6, 2020 by Northmount replaced 3rd party links with the pictures Quote
