I have this machine which is my delight because I fixed it by changing a gear inside. Now it is excellent and better than before.

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Awesome, Thank you for watching the video. It makes you feel good when you can fix something on your own. Great accomplishment. Have a Blessed Day.

This was very educative. It’s my first time handling an electric machine like this and it’s quite difficult for me. I battle with bird nests. I have tried all the tutorials but i still find it difficult to sew with it. Please help and thank you.

And how do I make a gathering stitch with it please?

[@JacquelineJaroffaith]

Here how to get rid of spaghetti. It's reset your tension. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3qVomeEe9p0qKM

Put it on the widest length it should gather. Which called the basting stitch.

I'm using mine for sewing 2 layers of 3-4 oz. leather. I recycled the leather from 4 couches and I'm making outfits for a festival. All of the couch's leather is 3-4 oz. I have a manual leather sewing patcher for sewing really thick layers of leather. I'm using a 110-18 leather needle. The plastic gear in this machine drives the bobbin. The drive train for the needle is all steel, no nylon. I skive the overlap to be sewn and use contact cement. I wet the leather before sewing. The foot is an even feed/"walking" presser foot. Not a real industrial walking foot but it helps and provides a much more presentable seam than the patcher. I'm using Heavy Duty polyester thread from Walmart. They don't use any system of thread identification. For example, I can sew Size 207, T210 thread in my manual patcher using a 180/24 industrial leather needle. I may modify the Singer needle bar for industrial needles if I can access a wider array of leather needles, like the LR for saddle stitching.

That works well. I found the roll foot works well too. It so awesome that you are making some cool stuff ☺️

[@teresanavaline6267]
