Revision as of 15:51, 3 November 2022

Status: Working (as of 2022-11-03)

Type: Single needle lockstitch unison feed industrial walking foot

Year: c. 1988

Overview

  • Materials: Medium to super-heavy. Nothing lighter than denim. Can go very heavy, we've successfully done 1/2" of leather. Works well with plastics and other non-wovens (e.g. vinyl). Anything lighter than denim won't go well.
  • Needle: DPx17, size #18-23
  • Thread: Standard is bonded nylon sz 69. We have spools in basic colors available (black, cream, brown)


Tips:

  • This is a high tension machine. You must press the knee lifter to pull thread through. This will release the tension.
    • Conversely, DO NOT run into the knee lifter at all while sewing. This will release the tension and your stitches will snarl.
  • Pressing back or letting go of the pedal will engage the brake. Slightly depress the pedal to release the brake. You must do this to use the hand wheel
