Hello all,
I recently purchased a 206rb-5. I've started having issues with skipped threads in vinyl. Also every once in a while I get a bundle of thread underneath the missed stitch. It is not every time though. I've gone through all of the steps for timing the machine but it still is doing it. Primarily the change happened when I switched from v92 to 138. I started locking down the tension and then adjusting the bobbin tension accordingly. I remember in class the thread tension was very heavy. I've been on with Consew but still waiting on an answer. Pretty much everything in the shop has come to a screeching halt! I'm sewing standard marine vinyl, Tenara 138 HTR, #20 Needle(New)
How full and what tension should I be loading the bobbin with? Any thoughts on what the issue could be, I'm at a loss...
I was not sure how to actually add the images to the posts so used google links. Link to photos front and back (let me know if this works)
Stitches:
Timing/Needle/Bobbin
Thanks for the help,
Johnny
