Singer Featherweight Tension/Timing Issue?
I picked up a beautiful 221 shell, added Alphasew Motor (with help from my DH), vintage hook assembly and bobbin case, totally cleaned oiled and greased, disassembled cleaned & polished tension assembly and she still won't make a decent stitch! In the video below, I'm showing what happens when I try -- bobbin is vintage, tension measures 23 on FFW shop scale, top tension is at 8 (literally, relative to What I don't know but feels right when I turn the knob). I've tried different threads, wound and unwound types, methods of delivery - machine spool, cup, spool holders, etc. without success. I'm hoping some of the Vintage Machine Wizards will see my video & say Aha!, there "It" is .
