Huskylock 550D Overlocker Problem.
I have inherited a Huskylock 550D Overlocker but I can't seem to get it to work. I've threaded it and all the threading is right (I think). The main problem is when I feed the material through, the machine is pushing the material forward (towards me)- instead of feeding it backwards away from me. As far as I know there is no reverse feed on the machine, and I have the manual but it mentions nothing that will help me. The cotton is also getting tangled around the needle plate. Please Help because I cant work out whats going on. Thanks. ------------------------------------- -- +----------------------[ SERVER SIGNATURE ]------+ | Delivered via http://www.sewgirls.com | | Web, Facebook, Twitter and RSS interface to | | sewing newsgroups - rec.crafts.textiles.sewing | +------------------------------------------------+ |

Set everything to Normal, and thread up, starting with the lower looper, then upper, then right needle then left. Make sure that the machine is set for regular sewing rather than rolled edges. If you still have problems, you may need to take it for a service. Before that, I'd strongly suggest reading tha manual from end to end, paying particular attention to threading diagrams and fault finding. Almost all overlocker faults are user induced. The smallest thing can cause a problem. If you don't have the manual, get a replacement as soon as you can. -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

If they do not cut they will push the material back at you. -- Ron Anderson A1 Sewing Machine 18 Dingman Rd Sand Lake, NY 12153 http://www.a1sewingmachine.com www.facebook.com/A1SewingMachineSpecialists |
