I was fortunate when I asked for help ref threading up this industrial sewing machine I had got hold of, to have a web link found for me. Thank you. But what has been so amazing is their web site offers a download free of manuals. I could not find mine so I emailed them. Yesterday they rang me from Germany and have emailed me the diagrams of the thread up process and written instructions. How amazing is that! I still can not get it to sew! so I must be doing something so stupid and cant see it, so will possibly get a engineer out but I have learnt a lot in the process. I can take apart and put back together a lot of the bobbin mechanisum and I do know I have threaded it right. Well at least accroding to the manual.Yes and the needle is in th correct way and threaded right way. I used to use knittting machines a lot and taught mchine knitting at night school as well as running a knitting club at my home. So I got used to doing home repairs myself. So I know the usefulness of being able to investigate and service basic bits myself. So thanks all, I will update you as this continues and I will get this machine to work. But if anyone is using one of these and gets stuck they are really helpful that is for sure. Can I ask is it possible for the thread type to be wrong, it appears to be heavier thread as one would expect to use on this. Would that stop it picking up the bobbin thread as I know a domestic machines does.
