... not for a kiss ! ... :-)
Forgive my ignorance - I'm not a sewist - I just like the machines. I just picked up another Elna blue-top - Star 62C - - a quick cleaning & a few drops of oil - away it sews ! The 6 built-in stitches work OK ; I tried a few embroidery cams & it seemed to sew OK. When running it through various zig-zag widths & lengths I noticed some fabric puckering. Bobbin tension felt a little strong so I made that adjustment. The stitches improved but still puckering the fabric. Changed the needle & presser foot. .. didn't help. Any tips ? Feed-dogs seem OK - is there a way to make them less agressive ? grasping at straws .. Would the type of fabric or type of thread cause puckering ? Any suggestions are appreciated. Taking it into a professional isn't really in the cards for a $ 50. machine. John T.
