Now I feel really stupid. Is this how you do such beautiful smocking every time? I need to know more about this... need to do research because I don't like that I've been sewing for 35 years and never knew about this machine before. (which is why I waited a few days before I commented on this post..I don't want anyone knowing about my lack of knowledge LOL)<br /><br />I am so happy you did get it working. I just know you love sewing Easter dresses for the girls. You do such beautiful work.<br /><br />Have a great weekend my friend!Zephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682731203511053192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183969995972714212.post-61956791059518337952010-02-18T19:08:36.308-05:002010-02-18T19:08:36.308-05:00Wish I could help.Wish I could help.Faye Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781186043996633965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183969995972714212.post-76220286132470960282010-02-18T17:39:34.913-05:002010-02-18T17:39:34.913-05:00I wish I knew about pleaters, but I don't.

You are checking to see if it is bent. Then it may need to be taken apart and cleaned.You can get thread bits and buildup in between the rods that you don't see. And sadly they do wear out. Overtime running the fabric through the same end all the time, over time will wear the rods down and they will not turn smoothly. If that is the case, your only choice is to replace it.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642210833712724301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183969995972714212.post-77503881326270941182010-02-18T12:35:02.751-05:002010-02-18T12:35:02.751-05:00I wish I could offer a solution but it seems you h...I wish I could offer a solution but it seems you have done everything I would have thought of. Are you absolutely sure you have the correct brand of needles for your model of pleater? That is the only thing I can come up with. Laurie might know of a solution for you.<br />http://sewnso.blogspot.com/Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692363519712566002noreply@blogger.com
