Won't pick up bobbin
We have some old Happy machines, and we have the same problem on a couple of heads. When there is a thread cut, the needle will NOT pick up the bobbin consistently. It seems to happen on all needles. This doesn't occur every time, but seems to about 1/2 of the time. It seems to do better when it is run slower after a thread cut, and it also seems to occur less when the fabrick is thicker or if it is sewing in an area where there is a lot of stitching already. Here is what I have tried:
1) Set hook timing
2) Set needle depth
3) Adjusted bobbin tension and thread tension.
4) Adjusted cutting knife.
5) On the HCA machine I've gone into the software to increase the # of stitches it goes slow before speeding up, and tried to adjust the thread cut to be long.
I'm running out of ideas, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Chris
