The timing went on mine a couple of times (trying to sew fabric that was too thick), although the stitching looked a bit dodgy on calico as well- although much dodgier on more difficult to sew fabrics... <br />are you using cheapy thread or expensive thread? because mine will only sew well with expensive thread... starts to have a spackattack if use anything cheap in it! i think it's like that with a lot of berninas... mine will only behave if i buy the overlocker thread they sell from the dealer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-28867091147903348122010-07-26T10:44:02.281+10:002010-07-26T10:44:02.281+10:00I just thought I would pass on something which I l...I just thought I would pass on something which I learnt a few months ago and has made me alot happier with my overlocker . You may already know this . When threading or rather changing colours NEVER have any of the needles threaded . This makes a huge difference to the ease of getting it all happening . So I just make the knots and pull thru the loopers before threading the needles . NEVER a problem . I have been using that overlocker for many years and often doing battle with it. I wonder if you have a problem with the differential feed?memhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520080648914042943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-90480366741037141032010-07-25T12:01:15.578+10:002010-07-25T12:01:15.578+10:00Looking forward to seeing your new item.

Others have suggested it but I'll add my 2 cents to theirs - l have to use large cones on mine or the tension is funny too - and have you changed your needle(s) recently and are you using an overlocker needle recommended for your machine? ...sorry if I'm insulting your stupidity by suggesting that but cough cough this I know from experience ...Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-88007351623804478302010-07-25T11:22:17.085+10:002010-07-25T11:22:17.085+10:00Anna looks super cute in her new tunic.

Who would've thought that would make a difference?? Also, are you using cones or those piddly little spools? I borrowed my friend's gorgeous Baby Lock only to have it play up because of the spools. However, cones worked beautifully. Go figure. But in the end, maybe it doesn't like knits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-13912240723923781082010-07-25T09:52:42.967+10:002010-07-25T09:52:42.967+10:00The suspense is going to get to me.

My home overlocker went through a strange tension phase, and I ended up winding the thread twice around one of the little hooks above the tension dial, which mysteriously solved the problem! Might be worth a try - cheaper than a new overlocker! I've also found changing the needle solves a lot of issues when they arise.Sheryllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17460472835794108787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-31228483171423595622010-07-25T04:53:25.594+10:002010-07-25T04:53:25.594+10:00My serger does it exactly the same thing and it is...My serger does it exactly the same thing and it is 22 years old and serviced regularly.

My (now 12 year old) was a terrible sleeper, but we had great luck with swimming lessons late in the afternoon (or swimming at the local pool right after supper). We'd go home for a bath and I "pour" him into bed. We both were tired and he slept much better. However (here's the sad news) he didn't really sleep well until he was 4.<br />Hang in and hope you're feeling better soon,Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586195054279699870noreply@blogger.com
