I agree the needle is inserted and threaded wrong. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
Members bigsig11010 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2021 Long groove is on left side and thread is from left to right. Quote
DonInReno Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 What brand of white thread is this on top? Quote
Moderator Wizcrafts Posted March 25, 2021 Moderator Report Posted March 25, 2021 The top thread is ratty and will come apart as you sew. I wonder if it has a right twist instead of the recommended left twist?

Members Constabulary Posted March 25, 2021 Members Report Posted March 25, 2021 2 things I noticed. 1st is it possible that the foot is a piping foot and 2nd to me it looks like the needle hole in the inner foot is too small for the needle and the thread. I´d try a standard foot set with wide enough needle hole. Just a guess.

Members bigsig11010 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2021 This is the label on the light color thread and the needle. Ill get more pics of foot. Quote
Members bigsig11010 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2021 Im trying to learn the parts and different types of feet but I dont have enough knowledge yet to identify the different feet yet. Quote
DonInReno Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 The skipped stitches in the leather combined with roughed up thread have me wondering if there is damage to the point of the hook and/or the gap between hook and needle is too wide. It would help if we had a close up photo of the point of the hook as well as a close up of the hook as it is lined up with the needle (without thread). You're getting closer to figuring this out - hang in there. Quote
toxo Posted March 25, 2021 Report Posted March 25, 2021 That thread is never going to sew consistently. In fact I've never seen bonded nylon that looks like that. Maybe you're winding it on the bobbin in a strange way or someone switched labels on you. Quote
