[ATTACH=CONFIG]317951[/ATTACH]Wow, Charlee I love the Hitachi treadle. It is still strange to me and exciting to own my Hitachi given that Hitachi claims they did not ever make sewing machines - yet, Monica found several of them listed in Japan! I just sent my e-mail to the wrong department in Hitachi - still makes it a fun machine to own! I have not seen another Hitachi here in the states, though!Nancy
I still would love to know the history of that machine, but for now it will remain a mystery. |
Missed you all!! Did you miss me????
Of course we missed you. Glad you made it through the tornado weather. We had tornado watches. Where I live we have mountains around us so usually breaks up the strong storms. Love these mountains. |

Joe, you'll figure it out...or have a nice parts machine on your hands. It's a big puzzle and that's part of the fun of fixing these machines.
I worked a bit on the tension, had to take an 1/8th turn out of the bobbin tension. It was too tight. That seemed so even up the stitch quite a bit. Only sewing something will tell me for sure. There is one annoying thing this machine has been doing and I found out why. When I set the stitch control lever to the longest stitch the first revolution of the machine bumps it up about two stitch sizes. Well, the shafts and rods are hitting each other underneath. I probably did that when I adjusted the feed dogs. Something else to play with. Joe |

Chris, I have been off the board for a couple days with my little Mowgli and Jury duty. You are going to have to go through doggy surgery too? I hope it is just a simple spay or something?Nancy
