This video shows you how to adjust the presser foot tension on your JACK industrial sewing machine. This video will work for JACK A2, A3, A4, A5, A6 and F4 series machines.
Thank you SOOO MUCH! I have been having troubles with the foot pressure which leaves me nasty marks on the fabric... This video was just what I needed!
Thank yo so much for your videos, I have had my Jack F4 for a year now and there isn't anything in English out with this information. I love my machine but have questions...I think my pressure foot tension is to high as when i sew on quilting cotton it leaves dog feed marks on the fabric. Thank you thank you thank you!! Would love to see the Jack walking foot in action too!!
Thank you for the video and it was very helpful and I'd like to know where I could get fixed when I needed. I find it's very hard to find supplies or to get services and even the person who sold it to me wouldn't want to see me again 🙃 😕
Your my go to guy for this machine. Thank you so much for your videos they have saved me a fortune. If possible could you please do a video for the a5e needle bar change as the one I bought has the wrong needle bar in it and the people I purchased from are absolutely no help at all. 😀
@@ozcommercialsewingmachines I have to force a needle head into it with pliers and will only take the very skinny ones. ita a size 16. Hope that helps x
@@twisteddolldesigns6190 they take a DBx1 needle that has a 1.6mm top. Firstly I would suggest cleaning/clearing the needle hole using an old DBx1 needle. Loosen needle screw enough so you can fully insert the needle, maximum needle insertion can be checked through the hole in the side of your needle bar, then using a pair of long nose pliers gripping the needle repetitively insert and remove the needle, essential clearing or reaming the needle passage way, hopefully if all goes well, this will slowly become easier as it clears. Secondly always use a top quality needle like Groz Beckert, Schmetz (now Groz Beckert), or organ, cheaper needles are not manufactured to the best standards and may cause issues because of this. On a side note, if you want to use heavier threads, order system 71x1 needles, these go to a #160 size, and fit perfectly to your machine. Good luck.
@@ozcommercialsewingmachines thank you so much for the ideas, I've done all that you have recommended and i only use the brands organ and the schmetz needles aswell, still have to use the pliers to get the needle in, the size of the actual hole for the needle to go into is extremely small?? I'm so confused with it lol.
@@twisteddolldesigns6190, it sounds like the needle bar hole has an irregularity inside, very unusual, but of course it is possible, I would say it is around the area where the needle clamp screw goes in, the hole is very small, only 1.6mm, I believe it will free up over time.
Thank you so much for your videos I am also using jack f4 machine but the problem is when i stitch i cannot stop the swing ... so i need to off the machine to stop stitching can you plz fix the problem
Hi great video, could I ask how do you adjust the pressure on the pressure foot on a jack H2?. My one keeps leaving marks on the faux leather. Thanks so much
You will need to determine what pressure you need based on the fabric you are sewing. Different fabrics and different thickness will all require different pressure so you will be adjusting to suit as you go.
There are only 2 things i dont like about the Jack machine. This foot adjuster feature is plastic and so is the manual foot lifter. Since the rest of the machine is so robust, I'm puzzled why they choose plastic.
