Need some troubleshooting advice...please
I have been working on my, 'new to me 1937 FW' since upacking her this morning. I have done a good cleaning out of the old goopy grease and yuck from the inner workings. I have oiled everything and she is running very smoothly and quietly!
The only issue,...I can't sew even 1 stitch! The thread keeps snapping at the needle, upper tension seems fine, bobbin tension is also fine. I have checked for a burr on the throat plate and sure don't feel one. Using a new needle Schmetz 80 and Aurifil thread, got the bobbin winder to work and wound a new bobbin. The thread seems to be getting stuck behind the bobbin case at times. I am stumped and a bit frustrated but I think it's just a bit of adjustment that it needs.
Any suggestions?
thank you
