I will run a 138 on top and a 92 in the bottom sometimes when I’m topstitching smaller projects, as long as the stitches are linking up in the middle of the fabric I don’t see a problem.

Looks like it could be UHMW or HDPE, both very popular plastics in the industrial world. A google search should come up with vendors in your area

I do my fair share of these and won’t give a price until I’m positive it was assembled conventionally and won’t add hours to the job because someone built it that doesn’t know how. This lesson was learned the hard way. Basically for me it’s the materials cost plus markup and then I estimated my labo...

The needle has to rise about 2mm before the hook reaches the scarf and at that point it should be in the middle. The needle must rise to form the loop, at bottom dead center the thread is held tight against the needle, it is the rising that creates the loop for the hook to catch. I don't know the s...

May I please ask... Why on earth would you want to go back to a clutch motor from a servo? What are the "various reasons"? I admit that I'm a relative newcomer to industrial machines but all I know is that folks should replace clutch motors with servos. If you watch any of Cechaflo’s YouT...

I always do a big clean and oiling and timing of the bottom end (hook timing) when something like this happens along with what everyone else said. I have a few spools of thread that don’t pull off the spool smoothly that can aggravate the situation.

When I want my top stitching to stand out I go to a 138 thread on top (normally run a 92) and increase the stitch length, that way it seems to really make the contrasting color pop.

Re: Where to get OEM matching fabric and leather auto upholstery

Even if you find the correct color it’s doubtful it will match as the chances of it coming from the same dye lot are lower than winning a lottery.

The position sensor also allows you to tap the treadle with your heel so the needle goes all the way up for clearing the material at the end of a run…. extremely convenient!
