Fixing Featherweight Tension Issues
6 Attachment(s)
Last night I was working on a Featherweight with tension issues. I thought some might find is useful to have a list of things to check when working on tension issues:
1) Check to make sure the machine is properly threaded [ATTACH=CONFIG]488542[/ATTACH] detailed pictures here: http://www.april1930s.com/html/how_t...r_feather.html 2) Flat side of needle should be facing left if you are sitting in front of the machine [ATTACH=CONFIG]488540[/ATTACH] 3) Thread should go in through the right side of the needle 4) Make sure bobbin case is properly threaded [ATTACH=CONFIG]488539[/ATTACH] 5) The position finger on the bobbin case is the notch of the throat plate [ATTACH=CONFIG]488541[/ATTACH] 6) Make sure bobbin case tension is not too loose or too tight more info here: http://www.archaicarcane.com/tear-it...e-maintenance/ 7) Make sure upper tension knob is correctly assembled [ATTACH=CONFIG]488544[/ATTACH] more info here on tension assembly: http://www.april1930s.com/html/tensi...er_sewing.html 8) Check for thread nest behind the bobbin carrier more info here: http://mysewingmachineobsession.blog...bbin-case.html I resolved my tension issues by tightening the tension on the bobbin case, so I stopped hunting for tension causing issues. Please list other causes of tension issues (and their solutions). |
