Pressure foot wont stop
Sounds like a failed clutch brake on a clutch motor. I would replace that with a servo motor. You will like it much better.
Cannot adjust my tensions. book is too vague...need help despratly!!!
Hi Karen: Take a deep breath, count to 10... then slowly let it out. Ok. now. Most industrial machines are basic mechanical machines. Not much to go wrong with them. But they are so basic the manufacturers figure you would almost automatically know how to thread and adjust them. There are a few things you can check. I assume you got the needles when you got the machine. Did you know that some machines require left or right twist on the thread? Yes, I know... "Huh?" So first lets make sure your needle and thread match well. Cut off a length of thread abotu 18 inches long. Take out your needle and thread the eye of the needle. Now hold one end of the thread up... does the needle slowly go down the thread? If it goes fast the eye is too big for the thread. If it slips and stops... the eye is too small for the thread. In either case you need different needles for this thread. Next, In your instruction book... really study those pictures. Almost all machines require that the bobbin be inserted with the thread unspooling off the bobbin in a certain direction. Insert it wrong and it does strange things with tension and your loop. Next... make sure you have threaded it correctly. This means lifting the presser foot lever while threading... make sure you are in between those tension discs. (I've had a machine that required that I wrap it 1.5 times around a tension disk... so make sure you are really studying those diagrams.) Remember. Loops on bottom of material mean top tension is too loose. Loops on top of material means top tension is too tight and perhaps the bobbin tension needs adjusted (loosen top tension first!) I hope you got the servo motor instead of the clutch motor. Good luck
