Hi. I have a treadle singer 66k which sews very smoothly and is a dream to use... I also came across a treadle singer 201k on ebay and couldnt resist when i saw in the last 5 minutes it still had 0 bids so i got it for 99p! Bargain!!!
Its in great nick, i've had it a while now but i haven't been able to use it much because of work and looking after and training a puppy!
Anyhow... I seem to be struggling to get it to sew well definitely threading it right (back to front to the 66k and bobbin in right way, etc) when i take the bobbin plate off and sew a piece of paper i see all the action happening as it should needle goes down starts going up hook picks up thread loops over bobbin thread and repeats fine...
But when i try canvas and 40s thread this happens...
Whatever this is...
I have tried upper tension over all its range and it just keeps happening.
Ive given the bobbin area a good clean out also.
Any advice
Its great having reverse with the 201k!!! So much easier to lock in the stitches at the start and end.
