Fourth, there’s no getting around the proper clearance between the needle and hook and proper timing. After 3hrs of studying the mechanism and making adjustments, my machine now stitches / sews without problems. I’ll definitely have to try this because I’m still having problems, now it’s snapping after the needle making me think it’s the foot being too sharp and ripping the thread or some point being too tight, but I’m almost certain it’s not my tensioners as they’re the loosest they possibly can be! You have to get the first tooth engaged at the beginning of the path of the bobbin holder (with the wall on one side)that the carriage . Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places.
Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.A slightly bent needle is the easiest thing to correct and should be the first thing you do when troubleshooting. Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out. If you’re lucky your machine will make a basic stitch as set at the factory, but there is 1 in 100 chance it’s set correctly. Sixth, every part of the patcher, every bolt, every adjustment, every everything, is likely to cause problems at some time in the future because of the inexpensive nature of the construction, so don’t expect miracles and accept troubleshooting as a necessary skill when running one of these.
pop out the walled bobbin thing and release the two nuts holding the horizontal slider and push it along until you see the first tooth of the sliding bobbin mover in the well.I sat down in front of the TV and watched Game of thrones all while wiping the machine down and giving it a nice wipe over cleaning with WD-40, then some 3in1 oil.

I have been impressed by it's versatility and have used it for a variety of jobs , stitching repairs , patching , fitting zips etc all of which it handles very well. On the other hand, precisely for how affordable they are, and as they often come straight for third-world countries, you shouldn’t expect the machine to arrive beautifully packed.
Since the feed dogs do not move in unison with the upper foot, it can’t be considered a walking food machine. I first saw these machines in use by the campus shoe repair guy outside a dorm at a university in China. With out pre-knowledge of the machine the instructions for setting the shuttle time were not decipherable.
Mainely Acres on YouTube was the channel I found most helpful in getting mine polished up and the timing correct to sew without breaking my thread. Nevertheless, they’re iron cast which makes them super strong, so be certain that any of these cobbler sewing machines will last for ages without any issue. If you expect to get professional results from this machine out of the box (or even after a few uses, you will be disappointed. All the parts were there, but required a good deal of polishing and adjusting before it worked correctly. I have a non-answer that probably won’t solve your problem directly, but will hopefully help get you closer.
No matter the kind of projects you want to make, whether it’s for a home business or simply to add a new model to your sewing room, having a cobbler sewing machine can be extra handy. There are many machines being sold on the market that look the same and may come from the same source in China - they are also less expensive.Also yes I’ve just set up again from scratch after changing the pitman rods, and taking the loop for the bobbin line to come through was easy and just pulled right out? I’ve released the little latch that makes the bobbin tension tight and still no avail, but it’s going further than it has done before! This was meant to be a new machine but it’s had been used several times and you could see that from the dents and used of the machine. It comes with 3 aluminum legs which will be ok for setting it up and cleaning but trust me- ditch those legs and mount it to a 2x4 then mount that to a table or bench and leave some room at the front of the machine so you can have room to stitch weird size objects like shoes and such.
