cobblers.keys Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 I am constantly having a problem with needles coming out of the 'rod' regardless of how thick, speed or setting patch job is. All help appreciated because I have handbag, motorcycle boot and riding boot in all requiring zips in and another handbag strap needing stitching ASAP. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elfman Posted May 6, 2021 Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 try taking the plate of the needle clamp of give it a clean with some petrol then replace the plate is also movable from side to side which may tighten the grip on the needle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldEngraver Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 can you see the needle in the hole of the needle clamp between the 2 screws, once seated correctly it should be visible through the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
