My used Juki machine I use for making flags and banners. Broke a needle, seemed okay, but making the last of 3 banners, it started acting up, breaking thread. Sanded down a few spots, reset the timing....still breaking thread, reset timing, skipping stitches, and on and on and on. Finally after many hours of struggling with it I finally got it to sew, no skipped stitches, no breaking thread. I think my hook is worn down and needs to be replaced. That's what you get when you buy someone's old machine. There's worn down parts, a spring is broken, not sure if that is causing any problems, it leaks oil down the needle bar, can't figure out why, I think it's getting too much oil fed to that area but don't see any adjustment for it. I am buying a brand new industrial machine finally, hope I'm doing the right thing. Not sure what to do with this one, may refurbish it to sell.
