singer walking foot answers and questions
I found out one of the problems I was having. When finished sewing, I'd
pull out the material, and three threads would come out the bottom. A local who contacted me said to rotate the needle just past top, and it would come out cleanly. It works. Now, is there a disengage for when you wind bobbins? Something where the flywheel will just spin and not all the up and down mechanism? Singer 111w155 . I'm getting this slowly running good. Just a couple of small adjustments to go. Steve |

I made some adjustments using it, and have a couple of more to do. It's just that the manual says there's a disengage, and not one on my machine in the place indicated in the manual. Thanks Steve |

Steve On industrial machines with the table mount bobbin winder you do not disengage the hand wheel to wind bobbins. Bobbin winding is done while you are sewing as the winder works off the belt. That is why there are 2 spots for spools on the thread stand. Some also buy prewound bobbins, you buy them buy the gross in any one color. Be sure not to let the extra thread dangle off the spool stand as it will get wound around the hand wheel in a flash. Tie it off to the bobbin winder stud. -- Ron Anderson A1 Sewing Machine 18 Dingman Rd Sand Lake, NY 12153 http://www.a1sewingmachine.com |

I talked to a sewer, and he gave me some suggestions also. One about Tenara thread. Is it worth all the money to have thread that will last for years on an outdoors application? What would be the less expensive alternative? Steve |

If the FABRIC will easily last 10 years of outdoor use, do you want it falling to bits in three because you didn't use the right thread? My thought is always use the thread best suited to the project, even if it is expensive. -- 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! |
