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. Aren't those pictures of the upper thread? I agree it looks terrible. Quote
Members Sheilajeanne Posted March 25, 2021 Members Report Posted March 25, 2021 You're right, sbrownn, that's the upper thread. The lower thread is black Quote
Members bigsig11010 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2021 Im not sure exactly what angle or position to show but ill start with these. Quote
Members bigsig11010 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2021 It is contacting the needle looks like hitting right at the top of the thread hole in the needle. Gonna take needle out to compare but looks like has actually nicked a spot on the needle. Quote
Members bigsig11010 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2021 You can see the spot on the needle where it is hitting. Is it supposed to do that? Quote
Members dikman Posted March 25, 2021 Members Report Posted March 25, 2021 No, it shouldn't hit the needle! The timing looks like it's out. The hook should be aligned with the scarf (recess) in the needle., the needle bar is too high. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500.

Members bigsig11010 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2021 I’ve watched Uwe’s video on the hook timing on consew 225. I’m wondering if I should try to do this myself or take it to a sewing machine person and have them do it so I don’t make things worse? Is it something that if I try and don’t get it right then have to take it to someone then they are going to say I should have left it alone. Quote

I’d suggest you have someone adjust it - they can also sort out the tension issues so you’ll be able to avoid the frustrations you’ve been having. Quote
Members bigsig11010 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Members Report Posted April 4, 2021 Well Im still at it. Ive added new tension discs. Took it to sewing machine guy and got the timing issue fixed. Im using 138 on top and 92 on bottom needle is size 24 and still having same issues. The top looks ok at times but the knots on bottom are not pulling up. Quote
