Sewing thick upholstery leather ?
I once worked in a Jacket planet. Depending on the style up to 5 different machine used on any one jacket. Perhaps we need to take this private. My contact info is below -- Ron Anderson A1 Sewing Machine 18 Dingman Rd., Sand Lake, NY 12153 518-469-5133http://www.singera1sewing.comhttp://www.a1sewingmachine.com Well...5 machines may have something to do with streamlining the production... in any case the 29-4 with its rather unique universal feed could replace at least two of those machines. Have looked at setting out the sewing job to pros, awaiting reply. In the meantime I had a closer look at this old brute and have indentified what I think is the main problem (for the time being). It sews dead straight up and down the arm, but sewing 'normally' across the arm causes the seam to crawl to the left at about 5-10deg angle...always! E.g when sewing a 2nd parallel seam to the right and aligning the foot parallel to the 1st seam the 2nd seam will creap towards the 1st. Initially I figured it was the thread that was pulling the needle to the left as it went trough the work, but after adjusting the machine so there is zero tension when the needle pierces..and it still crawls left...I think that can be ruled out. Have also tried different needles, same result. Any idea what is causing this and how to fix it ? |

Something has to give and the material is the weakest link. That machine is a shoe patch machine not intended for the work you are doing. -- Ron Anderson A1 Sewing Machine 18 Dingman Rd., Sand Lake, NY 12153 518-469-5133 http://www.singera1sewing.com http://www.a1sewingmachine.com |
