Hello everyone, it has been many many moons since I posted anything new. And I'm sorry for that. This account has been somehow sabotaged. I can't control stuff I don't know how to get it back to normal. And there is no help out there for that. I have researched and read everything I can and nothing works. So I'm so sorry to say in such blunt words, that my life stinks when it comes to this site. I don't know how to fix it. So if you're getting this and you understand everything I'm trying to describe you understand that when they update your phone and the world sucks that's what I'm experiencing!
If this goes through I'd like to report that life is great! I am helping people with their sewing machines everyday! My customers still love me and their machines are still working beautifully. Next year will be 50 years that I have repaired sewing machines. I started in 1977, I was 14 years old, after my father unfortunately passed away at the young age of 47. I was on my bicycle and in my right ear I heard these words, go help your mom at the store! So that's my life in a nutshell when it comes to my business. I love my customers and I love Perfection when it comes to stitch settings. The greatest thing in my business is when I get a phone call from someone who tells me, my machine never worked like this! I will spend two and three days on a machine to make that happen. I don't raise my price because of that, which is why I am very often behind the eight ball when it comes to delivering the machine to my customer. People who know that about me, will wait for me because they know when I get it done it will be perfect. Well, at least as humanly possible hahaha!
So thank you to everyone who understands my pursuit of perfection for you, when it comes to your stitches looking perfect across the wide spectrum of materials. I always tell my customers, a sewing machine is like an orchestra. Each individual area of Stitch formation contributes to the overall finished product. I've had customers for years tell me, I have worked on the tensions for 6 hours trying to make the machine sew well and nothing I did fixed the stitching? My response is, then it wasn't a tension issue. Here's something simple to understand, if you turn your tension dial and nothing happens in terms of the Stitch quality improving, as far as an Improvement, then your problem is not a tension problem.
Once I was teaching a class at husqvarna's convention. There were 60 technicians in this class. It cost $1,000 just to attend the convention back then plus airfare plus Hotel so the guys in front of me were among the best in the industry. I had discovered something that is not in any book and was so excited to share it with everyone. Which is the mechanism of the feed dogs. It's called feed timing. No service book covers feed timing the way it should be covered. And no class I'd ever been in, in my years of this business, did anyone ever share a thought about feed timing. It took me 25 years to see it. And here it is. When the feed mechanism pulls the material through your sewing machine, it finalizes Perfect Stitch formation. If I move the material before or after the sewing machine is completing the formation of the knot of thread, the knot will drift to the top of the fabric or the bottom of the fabric, if I have set the feed mechanism advanced or, re****ed. So the feeding mechanism really finalizes the formation of the Stitch. Tensions are set with a certain drag coefficient rated as grams of weighted resistance. So if you tied a weight that equal 20 G of weight to the thread of your bobbin case, and you let the weight fall towards the floor, it should stall and hang there without moving, when the weighted resistance is proper. The top tension, is equal to about 80 g. When a technician sets the resistance ratio outside that idea, to balance his stitch, you get a machine that will forever pucker thin material, or shred thread on thick material etc, you get the lemon machine, if you will. If people see this and read this, I would love some feedback to know that my site still has reach
