So I’ve got this problem and I’m not quite sure how to remedy it.
I’m building some sun visors for a 1954 packard with a Masonite core wrapped with chipboard and leather… I cut, skived and glued up the binding that is to be stitched to the visor.
When I go to stitch it all together the needle peels off in one direction, especially in the corners and misses the binding on the back side. If I take a blank needle and push it thru the hole it isn’t perpendicular to the surface.
The details:
* I am handwheeling my machine thru everything as it’s having a tough time with the servo motor…
* I am not sewing through the Masonite. Just the layers of leather and chip board.
*I have since glued everything together, binding and all to make my life easier as I try to figure this out.
* I have a consew 206rb-3 running serafil 135 in the top and bottom thread. Needle size is 21 with an R point I believe
I’m sure my machine is at max capacity but I feel needle size is needle size, but perhaps somone has an idea?
I am about to pull the trigger and make the trip to NJ for an NC 1508L25 perhaps this should wait for a more capable machine?
Thanks for any input!
