TROUBLESHOOTING

30. PULLING UP STITCHES:

Results depend very much on the thread used.
A coarse and rough thread on certain grades
of work produces excessive friction which
affects the pulling up of the stitches. Although
the purl can be set under these conditions, it is
usually accomplished by excessive tension or by
the use of needles unnecessarily large. Our
experience has taught us that a fairly smooth
thread of uniform consistency in either the soft
or hard finish will not only give dependable
results but will, in the final analysis, prove to be
the cheapest.
I m p o rt a n t - Loopers and Spreaders must be
correctly adjusted, check adjustment according
to instructions on Sheet 12 and 13.
A) Check the Needle for straightness.
B) Lint or dirt lodged between Tension Disks,
Clean out.
C) Balance the tension on threads so that they will
give the best results with the lowest tension.
D) Smooth the top lip surface on Throat Plate
10.4012 (all) at the opposite side of cord hole.
E) Upper thread must slide over shoulder of Left
Looper freely. Follow instructions under heading
(21) "Skipping Stitches" at K and note
C a u t i o n .
F) Either Looper rough or sprung. Polish or replace
with new Looper.
G) Spreaders rough or not working evenly.
Smooth and adjust according to instructions
on Sheet 13, Fig. 2, 3, 4.
