bigsig11010 Report post Posted April 10, 2021 I have a Seiko stw 8/consew 225. My first industrial type machine. I have some experience with lighter weight machines and I know there is a step to disengage the sewing mechanism while loading the bobbin with thread. I don’t see anything like that on the industrial machine. Am I missing something or does it just carry on even with nothing being sewn while loading a bobbin? Won’t that create tangles or other issues. Like dry firing a weapon or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) No - does not disengage. Thats correct. You have to wind the bobbin in an unthreaded machine and lifted presser foot or while sewing or use and "external" electric bobbin winder. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=electric+bobbin+winder+site%3Aleatherworker.net Edited April 10, 2021 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
