Members shoepatcher Posted December 18, 2021 Members Report Posted December 18, 2021 No the bobbin case opener is near the hook and it regulates the opening and closing of the thread as it flows around the hook. Get me a pic of your hook area. glenn Quote
Members Apostolos Posted December 18, 2021 Author Members Report Posted December 18, 2021 Thanks Glenn, I searched bobbin case opener and came up with an older thread about the part on an Adler 67. Uwe links a video there where he explains its function and how to adjust it. It seems mine was a little off, so there was no gap for the thread to pass freely through where the tab met the throat plate. I'll see how much of a difference this will make with the stitching. I couldn't manage to get it to sew the thicker pieces for the bag handle , but I suspect it is also an issue of the leather being stiffer, as it sewed the same thickness (6mm)of soft chrome tan with no problem. I've got some #160 needles on the way, so hopefully they might be the way to go when sewing thicker projects. Apostolos Quote
