Hi, My Tajima 15 needle is trimming the thread too short so it comes out of the needle when it starts again it is driveing me crazy, I have done the ajustment from the book & have it set at 17 but it stll is cutting too short. HELP PLEASE!!
If you can wait till saturday around noon I will ask my mother. She does all the Machine stuff in our shop. I will ask her. We had the same problem but I dont know what she did
That will be great, Thank you. I hope she can help I have been trying everything all day but it is still trimming too short
I look forward to hearing from you
It is pulling out before; as the needle goes in to make the first stitch. It is cutting the thread too short when it trimms the thread at the last stitch.
The following things I've found can contribute to pull-outs:
* Tie-ins and tie-outs in the digitized design (our Tajima automatically adds stitches at the beginning and end of a block of stitching, so tie-ins and tie-outs are redundant, causing it to sew many small stitches in the same place. This often causes the needle to fray or cut through parts of the thread "higher" than where a trim would normally cut it) ... to check: try making a simple design with running stitch about 10 stitches long, sew on the slowest setting (hold in the start button if you can) and count how many stitches it actually makes. Watch closely!
* Broken or mis-adjusted picker -- The little "fork" thing that comes in towards the top of the bobbin case when the machine begins and ends a block of stitches. Watch this closely and make sure it is coming in and the thread wraps around it. You can try pushing it inwards (from back beneath, where the solenoid would do it) while sewing and see if the thread gets caught on it. If not, it needs to be adjusted inwards. If it's not moving you'll have to check for mechanical hangups, check the solenoid, check dip switch settings even perhaps.
* Speaking of dip switch settings, our Tajima lets us select between "long" and "short" thread length upon trim. It just brings the picker in for more or less stitches. Check your manual for how to change this setting and you can try it out if nothing else works.
* Thread slipping out of the "velcro" strip that the grabber pulls it into too easily .. on our Happy, I was able to easily adjust this to be a little "tighter" and it helped.
* Sometimes I've been able to tease pull-out problems into going away just by loosening the upper tension as much as I can get away with.
Could also be that the "tails" are being cut too short.
Under the ATH (auto trimmer) portion of your menu. Don't know where that would be for a Neo. But usually you can expand your tail length and the pull back (after trimming) is too short and it ends up pulling out of the needle. When the tail length is lengthened it seems to help.
Hi & thank you so much for your help I had given up on any help comeing so I had not checked for any new posts. I have the trim cutting set to 17 that is the longest length but I will try some of your other tips.
